• We will not use this information to identify individuals, except for site security or law enforcement purposes.
• We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, for example, to ship an order.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Cookies
We may use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Some of our business partners may also use cookies on our site (for example, Google Analytics or Vcita). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

We may use cookies in order to customize this site for return visitors. These cookies are not required for site functionality. Additionally, third-party code, such as YouTube or Flickr, may install cookies depending on their configuration. You are not required to accept any cookies to use this site.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Registration
This website allows the option to allow a user to register with Llarena, Murdock, Lopez & Azizad. During this process, the user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products and services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required. These actions may be processed by Llarena, Murdock, Lopez & Azizad's vendor-partner, vCita and or Trenorth California. vCita's privicy policy is below.

Sharing

We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We partner with another party to provide specific services.

These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, but will not be shared with any advertisers. Should the sponsors of the competition require this data, you agree to sharing with them alone by entering a survey or contest.

Orders

We request information from you on our order form.

Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site.

We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

vCita strongly encourages parents to monitor their children’s use of the Web. vCita will delete a child’s personally identifiable information if a parent so requests by sending an e-mail to support@vcita.com.
