InHappiness™ Foundation maintains a firm commitment to protect the privacy of information you share with us. This page sets out the current internet privacy principles and practices for websites offering InHappiness services and programs. Please note that these may change from time to time without notice so please check back periodically.

Information Collected

To offer services on our websites, InHappiness collects information in two ways: automatically via the operation of the Sites’ servers, software, and the web browser you use to connect to these services, and voluntarily via input from you into forms and other features of the Sites. The information we collect is necessary to provide you with the highest level of service possible, and to help you access services you have chosen to utilize on our Sites. Automatically collected information includes your "IP Address" which is used to help diagnose server problems and to administer our Sites, and certificate information from your browser, which is used by secure areas of our Sites to initiate confidential messaging services. Voluntary information collected may include information you provide to us when you use any of our online tools, when you send us email, when you purchase from our online store, or when you use future products and tools such as may be offered from time to time. In all cases of online information collection, you are anonymous to us unless you provide your email address or other identifying information with your personal information.

Use of Collected Information

Our Sites use "cookies" and other automatically collected information to save passwords and state information for use on the Sites, and to track your shopping cart should you decide to shop with us. Voluntarily provided information is used to provide you with the products and services you request. We may also use contact information we collect to communicate with you, to respond to your questions and requests, and to send you information about InHappiness  related services and offers. Should you not desire to receive this information, you may "opt-out" by unsubscribing using the link provided in the message, or by responding with the word ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line. For further information regarding opt-out, please see the section on "Communication Choices" below. Financial information, such as credit card numbers and billing codes, may be used to bill you for services or products received. Identification information, such as account numbers, user ids, and passwords, may be used to positively identify you to our computer systems and to customize your experience of the Sites to your individual preferences. InHappiness™ Foundation does not share the personal information collected online.

Access to Information

Only employees of InHappiness™ Foundation and our licensees and partners who need and require customer information to perform their duties are authorized to access customer information. Occasionally, we may be compelled by law to provide information to requesting legal entities or agencies. If we receive a subpoena or similar legal process demanding release of any information about you, we will attempt to notify you before we comply with the request (when practicable or unless we believe we are prohibited from doing so). Except as required by law or as described above, we do not share information with requesting outside parties, including government agencies.

Protecting Confidentiality

We take our responsibility to protect our privacy and confidentiality very seriously. We strive to protect and secure information about you from unauthorized access, alteration, and destruction.

User ID and Password

Some areas of the Sites may require the use of a User ID and Password as an additional security measure that helps protect your confidential information. This allows us to verify who you are, thereby allowing you access to your account information, and preventing unauthorized access. When you have finished using a secure area of our Sites, always click on the "Log Off" link to end your secure session. No further secure transactions can be conducted without re-entering your User ID and Password. Browser software often "caches" a page as you look at it, meaning that some pages are saved in your computer's temporary memory. Therefore, you may find that clicking on your "Back" button shows you a saved version of a previously viewed page. Caching in no way affects the security of your confidential User ID or Password. If you use a computer in a public place to access your account information, simply quit/exit the browser software before leaving to minimize the possibility of anyone else viewing your confidential information.

Linking to Internet Sites

Other Internet sites that you link to from our Sites may contain privacy provisions that differ from the provisions of this Privacy Statement. To ensure your privacy is protected, we recommend that you review the privacy statements of other Internet sites you visit.

Communication Choices

You may elect to stop receiving information from InHappiness™ Foundation at any time by using the opt-out or unsubscribe link on any correspondence received, by responding to a message with the word ‘unsubscribe’ in the header, or by requesting to be removed from our lists using the contact form on this website. Once you have opted out of further communications, you will not receive emails, catalogs, or telephone solicitations from us, and we will not share your information with our partners.

Children

Products of InHappiness™ Foundation are not routinely marketed to children, and no age verification outside of the provision of a credit card occurs on our Sites. Provision of a valid credit card is taken as evidence that an individual is authorized to purchase products and services from the Sites. Terms of Use Your use of these websites confirms your agreement to the InHappiness™ Foundation Terms of Use that can be viewed on this website.
