Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand the information we collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and what choices you have. This policy also explains the measures we take to protect your personal information.

When you use our Service, we collect certain information about you. This information falls into two categories: Personal Information and Usage Data.

Personal Information: This is information that identifies you or can be used to identify you personally. We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us. For example, when you register with Samfrew.com, we collect your username, email address, and payment information (through a third-party payment processor). You have the choice whether to provide this information, but please note that if you decide not to provide it, you may not be able to use certain features of the Service.

Usage Data: This is information that we automatically collect when you use our Service. Usage Data includes information like your IP address, your browser type and version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data. We use this data to improve and personalize our Service, and to analyze the use of our Service.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Service Providers: We may share your Personal Information with third-party companies that provide services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. These third-party service providers have access to your Personal Information only for the purpose of performing these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Please note that we may also share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you with the third parties described above.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information.

Cookies: Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We use cookies to collect information in order to improve our services for you.

Web Beacons: We may also use web beacons (small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites) and auditing software to track page views and entry and exit points to and from our Service. In addition, we may use web beacons, cookies, customized links and/or similar technologies to determine whether electronic newsletters sent by us to those who have requested them from us have been opened and which links are clicked.

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Information, to the European Union and process it there.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Information will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

Our Service is available to users of all ages. However, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.

While we do not ask for age during the registration process, we advise that children under the age of 13 use our Service under the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us at [email protected].

The security of your data is important to us. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Information. Among other things, your browser session, as well as the data transmission, are secured with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

Despite these measures, the Internet is not a fully secure environment and we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information won’t be intercepted or improperly accessed. Please keep your password safe and do not share it with anyone.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you either through the email address you have provided us, or by placing a prominent notice on our website.

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to resolving any complaints about our collection or use of your Personal Information.

If you would like to contact us to understand more about this Policy or wish to contact us concerning any matter relating to individual rights and your Personal Information, you may send an email to [email protected].
