WITH YOUR DIRECTION OR CONSENT

6. AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH STAMPDIRECT.SHOP

ForeverStampGuide.com has a commission-based affiliate relationship with StampDirect.shop.

If you click a link from the Site to StampDirect.shop and complete a qualifying action or purchase, Forever Stamp Guide may receive a commission.

This relationship does not ordinarily increase the price you pay.

When you click an affiliate link, your browser may transmit:

  • The destination URL;

  • An affiliate identifier;

  • Your IP address;

  • Device or browser information; and

  • A referrer indicating that you came from ForeverStampGuide.com.

StampDirect.shop and any affiliate technology provider may collect additional information under their own privacy notices.

Once you leave the Site, we do not control the destination website's collection, use, security, retention, or disclosure of information.

This Privacy Policy is not a substitute for the clear commercial disclosure that may appear near affiliate links or in our separate Commercial Disclosure.

The purpose of this section is to explain the privacy implications of following those links.

7. SALES, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

However, some U.S. state privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly.

Depending on the technology used, making cookie identifiers, device identifiers, or online activity information available to analytics or affiliate partners may be treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under an applicable law, even when no money is paid for the information itself.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out, you may submit a request using the contact methods in Section 17.

If required by applicable law, we will also process a legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

This may include retaining information to:

  • Operate and secure the Site;

  • Respond to communications;

  • Administer affiliate reporting;

  • Maintain tax and accounting records;

  • Resolve disputes;

  • Enforce agreements; and

  • Comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods vary by information category.

SECURITY AND SERVER LOGS

Security and server logs are generally kept for a limited operational period unless they are needed to investigate a security incident, fraud, or abuse.

ANALYTICS INFORMATION

Analytics information is retained according to the settings and practices of the relevant analytics provider.

CORRESPONDENCE

Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to address the request and maintain appropriate records.

AFFILIATE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING RECORDS

Affiliate and financial reporting records may be retained for the period required by applicable accounting, tax, or legal requirements.

AGGREGATED OR DE-IDENTIFIED INFORMATION

We may retain aggregated or de-identified information where permitted by law.

9. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorized access;

  • Loss;

  • Misuse;

  • Alteration; and

  • Unauthorized disclosure.

These measures may include:

  • Access controls;

  • Transport encryption;

  • Security monitoring;

  • Software updates;

  • Backups; and

  • Limits on the information we collect and retain.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe information submitted to the Site has been compromised, contact us promptly using the information in Section 17.

12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted information may contact us using the information in Section 17.

13. DO NOT TRACK AND GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is no single universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, the Site may not respond to them.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

Global Privacy Control, or GPC, is a browser-based opt-out preference signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a valid GPC signal, we will treat the signal as an opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal.

A GPC signal generally applies only to the browser or device from which it is sent.

You may need to enable GPC separately on each browser or device you use.

We do not control their:

  • Privacy practices;

  • Security practices;

  • Cookie practices;

  • Terms and conditions.

Review the privacy notice of each destination before providing personal information.

A link does not mean that the destination is governed by this Privacy Policy.
