Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the www.toropal.com site and various related services including the mobile applications (together referred to as the “site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy online.

You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Site Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this site.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to issuing an e-mail to the e-mail address listed by registered users and posting the revised Policy on the site. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid e-mail address as a registered user, review this site and this Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications.

(a) acknowledgment of the modified Policy; and

Information collected from you

In order to better provide you with our services, we collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

Personally Identifiable Information:

This refers to information that let us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this site, such as registering for a user account or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. This information may include your personal identifying information. In addition, when you create an account, you will be asked to provide Personally Identifiable Information, including your name, email address and phone number.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon your use of the site. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.

How we collect information from you

  • We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you:

    (a) Register for a user account;

    (b) Leave feedback and/or comments; or

    (c) sign up for special offers from us or selected third parties.


  • In addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information.


We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to:

(a) provide our services to you, as required by our agreements with you;

(b) to enhance the operation of our site;

(c) fill order;

(d) improve our marketing and promotional efforts;

(e) statistically analyze site use;

(f) improve our product and service offerings;

(g) customize our site’s content, layout, and services;

(h) to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices;

(i) to troubleshoot problems and

(j) enforce our agreements with you.

Sharing of your information

Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell or share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties for marketing purposes and only share your information as described herein. We share your Personally Identifiable Information with:

(a) our server providers and processing agents;

(b) service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing and technology services;

(c) financial institutions with which we partner; and

(d) other third parties with your consent or direction to do so. In addition, we may share some of your Personally Identifying Information with the person or company that you are paying or that is paying you through Toropal.


Without limiting the above, occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our users’ traffic patterns, and related site information to third party advertisers.

Updating your personally Identifiable Information

We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided to us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account online at any time by logging on to your account and editing your information.

We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this site. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups.

Notification

We may, from time to time, send you e-mail regarding our services. In addition, we and our partners may occasionally send you direct mail (including e-mail) about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. You may unsubscribe from such e-mail messages.

Lawful basis for processing personal information

  • Our lawful basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

  • However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect vital interests.

  • If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

  • Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

  • If you have questions about or need further information concerning the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us.

Security technology

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. In particular, we:

  • hold personal information in secure facilities and where the information is held electronically, on secure servers.

  • use encrypted transmission links whenever we can.

  • use other safeguards such as firewalls, authentication systems (e.g., passwords), and access control mechanisms to control unauthorised access to systems and data.

  • regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorised access to systems.

  • restrict access to personal information to our employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for us and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations. Toropal may discipline or terminate individuals who maliciously acquire information, without being entitled to its access.

    Once client information is no longer needed, Toropal will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information as long as Toropal is not required by applicable laws and regulations.

    We will take seriously and deal promptly with any accidental or unauthorised disclosure of personal information. We follow the relevant scheme for notifiable data breaches where applicable and when handling accidental or unauthorised disclosures of personal information.

Links to other websites

  • The Website may contain links to third party websites, whose information practices may be different than Toropal’s. Visitors should consult such third-party sites’ privacy notices as Toropaldoes not have any control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. Toropaldoes not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) you might be requested to give any third party.

  • These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Toropal of the contents on such third-party websites. Toropal cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from the Website, since these sites are owned and operated by independent retailers.

  • Toropal is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party sites. Toropal has not taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of any of the information contained in such third-party sites. If you decide to access linked third-party sites, you do so at your own risk. Toropal strongly encourages you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or off-line transaction with any of these third parties.

Data security policy

  • The importance of security for all personally-identifiable information associated with visitors to the Website—as well as Toropal customer information, such as cell phone numbers, texts, messages, credit card information, addresses, and other account data—is of utmost concern to Toropal.com, and we have implemented, and periodically review, certain physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help prevent unauthorized access and maintain data security. Your payment and personal information is always safe.

  • Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address. Unfortunately, due to the open nature of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure, and thus we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Toropal will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Visitors of the Website and Toropal customers use the Website at their own risk.

Your acceptance of these terms

Your continued access to the Website following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy shall be deemed an acceptance of such changes by you. Toropal will, however, use personally-identifiable information only in accordance with the version of the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.

Opt Out

You are not required to supply any of the personal information that we may request; however, failure to do so may result in our being unable to open or maintain your account or to provide services to you. While we make every effort to ensure that all information we hold about you is accurate, complete, and up to date, you can help us considerably in this regard by promptly notifying us if there are any changes to your personal information.
