All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers. Do we use ‘cookies’?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, they are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We use cookies to help us remember and process items in your cart should you transact with Stretto. We use cookies to understand and save user’s preferences for future visits, and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third party services that track this information on our behalf. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you disable cookies in your browser, some features will be disabled.

This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Third Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites. These links may include without limitation the use of so-called “share links.” A “share link” is a button and/or text link appearing on our site that enables the launch of a sharing mechanism whereby you can post links to, and content from, our site onto social networking web sites such as Facebook. The privacy policies of other site operators or advertisers may significantly differ from our privacy policy. We urge you to read the privacy statements of each and every web site you visit and to contact the third-party web site operators or advertisers directly if you have any questions or concerns about their data collection or privacy policies. We have no control or influence over the privacy practices of such other web sites and advertisers and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for any third-party web site operators’ or advertisers’ data collection practices, their failure to abide by their privacy policies or the content of any third party web sites. Google
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to provide site usage analytics. Stretto has implemented Demographics and Interests reporting through Google Analytics. We, along with third-party vendors, such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) to compile data regarding user interactions with our website. We have not enabled Google AdSense on our site, but we may do so in the future. COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13. Your California Privacy Rights
Under California Civil Code §§1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of PII we share with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties’ or corporate affiliates’ direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to our address below. Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify users via email within 14 business days of any data breach. We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors. CANSPAM Act
The CANSPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to: Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions. To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to:
NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses;
Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way;
Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters;
Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used;
Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly; and
Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of each email.
