We may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across the Site and different Services and devices.

Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

To provide and deliver our Products and Services;
To allow you to log into and access your account;
To provide customer service and our support services;
To process any financial transactions you make on our Site;

To keep your information secure such as by detecting security incidents, and to be able to verify your identity and contact information;

3. How Information May Be Shared
The Type Founders does not sell or rent any of your personal information, and we do not share your personal information publicly without your consent. However, we may share your information with certain trusted third-party services to help us provide, improve, promote, or protect our Products and/or Services. For example, we may use data storage vendors or partner with other companies to process your payments or to store your personal information when necessary to support delivery of our Products and/or Services and respond to customer service requests. Whenever we share data with third-party services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we've authorized, and that they protect your personal information at least to the same standards we do.
We also reserve the right to disclose personal information when it is reasonably necessary to conduct our business, protect Type Founder's legal rights and property, and to comply with the law. Otherwise, your personal information is not shared with any individual or other organization.
4. Protection of your Personal Information
We take the security of your personal information seriously, and follow industry-standard practices to protect the data we collect and process. The Type Founders has therefore put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information that The Type Founders collects. Access to personal information will be restricted to our authorized personnel who require the information in order to perform their duties properly. In addition, access will be limited to only that information that is strictly necessary for the performance of those duties.
Remember, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen, or where we have given you a user name and password for access to certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping the user name and password confidential. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so The Type Founders cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Data Transfers
Because The Type Founders is a US-based company, your information may be collected and processed in the United States. Additionally, as part of the Products and/or Services offered to you through our Site, the information which we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored in, one or more countries other than where you currently reside. For example, this may occur if any of our servers or third-party service providers are located in a country other than yours. These countries may have different data protection laws that are similar to your current residence. However, if we transfer your information in this way, we will put in place appropriate protection to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Privacy Policy.
6. Basis for Processing - European Residents
Data protection law in the European Economic Area (EEA) requires a lawful basis for collecting and retaining personal information from residents. Our lawful bases for processing personal information include:
-
Performing the contract we have with you: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations, such as to deliver our Products and/or Services, and answer any questions you may have.
-
Consent: we may ask your consent to process your personal information in certain situations.
-
Legal compliance: Sometimes the law requires us to collect, store, or use your data for legal purposes.
-
Legitimate interests: This is a term in data protection law that allows us to process your personal information if we have a legitimate reason to use your data, and only if we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. For example, we sometimes process your data to pursue our legitimate interests in running our business, including for delivering our Products and/or Services, protecting you from fraud, quality assurance, and marketing purposes. However, we also ensure that our legitimate use of your data does not materially infringe your rights, freedoms, or interests when compared to the processing.
7. Email and Mobile Device Notifications
We try to keep email communications to a minimum, and give you the ability to opt-in/opt-out to any non-essential communications we may send, such as marketing communications. For example, we may send you email messages relating to the Services and/or Products we offer. You may also elect to receive certain marketing communications in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt-out at any time. You can always opt-out of receiving marketing emails or mobile device notifications from The Type Founders (other than certain required communications, such as messages confirming orders, and notifying you of any privacy policy updates, and the like), by logging into the Site and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile (where possible), or by sending us an email at info@p22.com stating your request. If we have sent you a promotional email or mobile device notification, you may send us a return email or mobile device communication asking to be omitted from future optional notices.
8. Retention
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary to perform the relevant processing activity for that information, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us. The relevant retention period is determined on a case-by-case basis because it depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data for as long as you are a customer of ours so that we may process and complete any orders you may make with us. We may also be required to hold some types of information to fulfill legal purposes. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. When the relevant processing activity has been completed, we may destroy your data, or alternatively anonymize the data, such that the data is not personally identifiable.
9. Personal Information Requests - California and European Residents
While these rights are not globally applicable, users or Site visitors residing in certain locations, including the EEA and California, may be afforded certain rights regarding their personal information. Except where an exception or exemption applies, these rights may include the ability to request disclosure of the information we have collected about you, the right to review our data collection practices related to you, the ability to request deletion of your personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against due to your exercise of any of the preceding rights. To ensure that your personal information is accurate and complete, please contact us at info@p22.com regarding any errors or updates affecting the personal information that we may hold.
10. Questions, Comments, or Complaints
If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, or if you are not completely satisfied with this Privacy Policy or its application by us, we invite you to convey your concerns or suggestions to us at info@p22.com. If you have an applicable disability, you may also contact us at the above email address to request access to this Privacy Policy an alternative format. We will reply as quickly as possible and inform you of the steps, if any, that have been or will be taken in order to address your concern or implement the suggestion.
11. Updates and Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 12/19/2024. We may update this Policy from time to time. If we do, we'll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the Site or by sending you an email. Any updates to this Policy will not apply retroactively. If you keep using our Site or Products and/or Services after a change, that means you accept this Policy.
