YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to request information regarding the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we collect, the categories of personal information disclosed to service providers, and the purpose of our personal information collection (a “Verified Request”). If you believe that we hold any incomplete or inaccurate data about you, you have the right to ask us to correct and/or complete the information and we will strive to do so as quickly as possible. You also have the right to unsubscribe from our website registration or direct marketing (“Unsubscribe Request”).

You have the right to request that we delete your personal information (“Deletion Request”). However, much of the personal information we collect is required for us to provide you with our products and services and we may not be able to offer all our products and services without it.

You can submit your Verified Requests, Deletion Requests, Unsubscribe Requests or any other request regarding your personal information can be submitted to us at: general@smooth-on.com.  Alternatively, you can call us toll free at 1-800-762-0744.

We take commercially reasonable steps to implement and/or to respond to your requests promptly.  If we receive a request from you to exercise any of the above rights, we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on the request in order to ensure that your data is protected and kept secure. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your Privacy Rights.  We will not deny you products or services or charge different prices if you exercise your Privacy Rights.

SECURITY MEASURES

We take your privacy seriously and take every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure your personal information. We work hard to protect you and your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Accordingly, all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and encrypted using SSL technology.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
