The Sharp Type Corporation (Sharp Type Co.). (“us” or “we”) recognizes and respects the privacy of users of the sharptype.co website (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy sets forth the information collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices applicable to the Website. By using our Website, or registering with us, you are confirming that you have read, understand, and agree to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy please do not use our Website.

We reserve the right to modify and update the Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post notice of any such modifications on the Website. You can review our most recent Privacy Policy. If you use the Website after any such modification or update to the Privacy Policy, you consent to those modifications or updates. Modifications will not be applied retroactively.

This information is necessary for us to complete the registration, and to send you such information as you may wish to receive. The information shall be retained until such time as you request that it be removed from our servers. If you choose to purchase Sharp Type Co. products or services, we will also collect your credit card number and billing address through our current purchasing platform, shopify.com. Such information is necessary to complete your purchase. Sharp Type Co. shares this information only with its purchasing platform, and does not keep your credit card information on file.

Users have the opportunity to provide their email address to Sharp Type Co. in order to receive Sharp Type Co. communications such as announcements of new products, and special offers. These email communications are sent in accordance with applicable laws and are provided on a strict opt-in basis, and the information provided is necessary to provide the newsletter.

Sharp Type Co. will not feature third party advertisements of any kind on the Website, and will not send marketing communications on behalf of third parties.

Sharp Type Co. uses several third party providers, listed below. Sharp Type Co. may disclose information to these service providers in order to provide our Website and services to you. Our agreements with these service providers prohibit them from using the information Sharp Type Co. provides to them for any purpose other than providing the Website and the products and services featured therein, and require them to keep that information confidential. We encourage you to review the privacy polices and information collection practices of our service providers.

Sharp Type Co. does not sell or rent our customers’ personally identifiable data to any other entity, or, except as expressly stated herein, share personally identifiable data with any other entity.

A California privacy law that went into effect on January 1, 2005, the "Shine the Light" law, allows California residents to obtain a list of third parties to whom a business has disclosed personal information if it shares such information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, if a business adopts and discloses in its privacy policy a policy of not disclosing customers' personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and by providing a cost-free means to exercise that right.

As stated earlier in this Privacy Policy, personal information will not be shared with third parties for their direct marketing and promotional purposes.

Because this Site has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with details on how you may opt-in or opt-out of the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes, we are not required to provide you with the third party list.

The Website is designed for and targeted to U.S. audiences and is governed by and operated in accordance with the laws of the United States. Sharp Type Co. makes no representation that the Website is operated in accordance with the laws or regulations of, or governed by, other nations. If you reside outside of the U.S., please be aware that by providing us with personal information, you understand and agree that: (1) your personal information may be transferred to and stored on servers located in the United States; (2) you consent to the transfer of such data to the United States for processing by our affiliates in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and (3) the Privacy Policy and the collection of information pursuant to the Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

Sharp Type Co. complies with industry standard practices to maintain the security of information. All financial transactions on the website are conducted via secured transmissions through shopify.com. However, as with most Internet sites or services, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully access such personal information despite our efforts. Information collected will not be stored beyond the time needed to fulfill any requests, including the requests for newsletters.

You hereby confirm that you have read and understood the content of this privacy policy. Where the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent you agree to Sharp Type Co.’s processing of your personal data in accordance with the provisions herein. Should you wish to object to, or withdraw your consent, to any of our processing, please contact us at info@sharptype.co. Please note, however, that your withdrawal will not affect our right to process your data when such processing is necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you, and/or to the extent we are required to process your data by law or to defend ourselves in a dispute, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to enforce our Terms and Conditions. If you withdraw your consent to any consent-based processing, we will cease all such processing.
