  1. Disclosure of Information

 

We may disclose personal information that you provide via the Website to the following:

  1. Our subsidiaries and affiliates

  2. Contractors, employees, agents, and service providers we use to support our business.

 

 

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties-under the following circumstances:

 

  1. We are legally required to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process.

  2. We believe it is necessary for us to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

  4. We are a party to a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or any other form of sale of some or all of the Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about its participants is among the assets transferred.

 

  1. Disclosure of Aggregated, Non-Personal Information

 

We may share collected aggregated and non-personal information with third parties to conduct research, enhance our services, or for any other legally permissible use.

 

  1. User Contributions

 

You recognize and acknowledge that we cannot control the use of information that you provide in public forums, including but not limited to, profile pages, product reviews, chat rooms, and message boards. You must not hold us responsible if information you have revealed in a public forum is used in a way which violates this Privacy Policy or the law.

 

  1. Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information

 

You may send us an e-mail at Jessica@Paper-Acorn.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us.

 

  1. Information Protection

 

We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information collected from you. Personal information is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public and that are only accessible to authorized employees. We also practice measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as perfect security. As a result, although we strive to protect personally identifying information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us through or in connection with our Website, that we store on our systems or that is stored on our service providers’ systems.

 

  1. Links

 

The Website may contain links to other websites. You must not hold us responsible for the content on other websites or for the privacy policies or any other policies on those websites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Website.

 

  1. Do Not Track

 

Online tracking technology allows website operators to collect personally identifiable information about you as you move through websites and other online service providers. When enabled from most browser privacy settings, a “do not track” (“DNT”) signal or request notifies a website operator that you do not wish to be tracked online. As currently constituted, we only track your movement within the Website.

 

However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from our Website unless you provide it to them directly.

 

We do not honor DNT requests, and we do not treat visitors who make DNT requests differently from visitors who do not make DNT requests. We also do not differentiate between visitors who make DNT requests and visitors who do not make such requests, when it comes to collecting or using personally identifiable information.

 

  1. Dispute Resolution and Mediation

 

Any dispute arising from this privacy policy which cannot be resolved by the parties in good faith after making the best effort for a period of not less than 15 days, shall first be submitted to mediation with a neutral mediator agreed upon by the parties, with the cost of the mediator to be borne equally by them. If a dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration with a neutral arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The cost of binding arbitration will be borne by the parties equally. In the event the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an arbitrator, we have the exclusive right to select the arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Hamilton County, Ohio and Ohio law shall apply. The parties further agree that the parties will perform any award rendered by the arbitrator, and that a judgment of any court having jurisdiction may be entered on the award.

 

  1. Governing Law

 

This privacy policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio regardless of any conflicts of law principles.

 

  1. Visitors from Outside of the United States

 

The Company is headquartered in the United States. Information collected on the Website is subject to United States law, which may not be equivalent to the laws in your country.
