How We Protect Your Information
To protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control we have implemented security measures on our website. When you place orders or access your account information, a secure server is employed. All information you input is encrypted by the secure server layer (SSL) before it is sent to us and all the customer data we collect is similarly protected against unauthorized access. Shade3D cannot be and is not responsible for unauthorized access to information by hackers or others who have obtained such access through illegal measures.

Except as described in this privacy policy, Shade3D will not share your personal information with third parties unless you have consented to the disclosure or under the following limited circumstances.

Business Transfers
If Shade3D is acquired by or merges with another company, Shade3D may transfer personal information to that company (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings). In such an event, Shade3D will notify you before your personal data is transferred if this information would become subject to a materially different privacy policy.
Service Providers
Shade3D may from time to time share the information we collect from and about you with other third-parties that provide support services to us, or that help us market our products and services. Examples are shipping vendors, billing and refund vendors, payment card processors, promoters and administrators of contests, giveaways and promotions, and companies that help us improve our product and service offerings and our websites. These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose. In some cases Shade3D and third-party service providers may share tracking information, including your IP address, and Shade3D may provide information about your order to the website that has referred you to Shade3D (and the referral network utilized by such website), to facilitate calculation of any commissions payable by Shade3D.
Shade3D may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related website information to third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying information. A website traffic and user behavior auditing system operated by Google Analytics is being used on this website. Please see the Google Analytics website for information about Google Analytics, the Google Analytics auditing system, and the Google Analytics' privacy policy.
Links to Other Websites
The Shade3D website may have buttons, plugins and log-in interfaces from sites operated by third parties, as well as links and other connections to those sites. We refer to these buttons, plugins, login interfaces, links and other connections as “Links.” Links may include content from third-party sites that is framed within our website, such as the “Find us on Facebook” social plugin. If you click on a Link or input information in a framed Link on our site, those third parties may receive information about you. As a result, you may wish to review the privacy policies of those third parties to understand how such information is collected and used.
If you click on or input information through certain Links on our website, we may have access to information related to your account with third–party site. This may include your profile information and privacy settings for that site.
While Shade3D encourages third parties with Links on our site to follow appropriate privacy standards and policies, we are not responsible for the actions of those parties, the content of their websites or any products or services they may offer.
Marketing Preferences
We may use your information to occasionally notify you about important changes to our website, new Shade3D features, special Shade3D offers that you may find useful, or offers from companies with whom we have business relationships. We may also contact you if you have entered one of our contests or responded to one of our surveys. Choosing not to receive email newsletters or email notifications from us when you enter a contest will not affect your chances of winning.

In the event of a material change to the Privacy Policy, for a reasonable time after such change we will add “Updated,” “New,” or a similar term near the link to the Privacy Policy on the home page of Shade3D and elsewhere, as applicable, throughout our website.
