These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring websites, interactions with our website, and information about advertisements viewed or clicked.

Some third-party advertising and analytics providers may use information collected through these technologies according to their own privacy policies.

Depending on applicable law and the technologies we use, visitors may have choices regarding certain cookies, targeted advertising, or sharing of information for advertising purposes.

Personal information may also be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Channie’s does not sell customer lists for money.

Certain privacy laws, however, define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale. For example, certain uses of advertising cookies, pixels, or similar technologies may constitute “sharing,” “sale,” or use for targeted advertising under some state privacy laws.

Where required by applicable law, Channie’s will provide consumers with the ability to opt out of covered sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.

9. Security of Personal Information

Channie’s uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption to help protect information transmitted between your browser and our website.

Payment information is generally processed by third-party payment processors using their own security systems.

No Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security. Therefore, although we work to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction will never occur.

10. Retention of Personal Information

Channie’s retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

The length of time we retain information may depend on factors including:

  • The nature of the information

  • The purposes for which it was collected

  • Our ongoing relationship with the customer

  • Order fulfillment and customer service requirements

  • Accounting, tax, and financial recordkeeping requirements

  • Fraud prevention and security needs

  • Warranty, return, and dispute requirements

  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it in accordance with our data retention practices and applicable law.

11. Children’s Privacy

Channie’s sells educational products that may be used by children; however, our e-commerce website is intended for use by parents, guardians, educators, schools, and other adults purchasing educational products.

Channie’s does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent where required by law.

Children under 13 should not create accounts, make purchases, or submit personal information to Channie’s without the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 in a manner that requires parental consent and such consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information to Channie’s may contact us using the information below.
