Users of the Site from California:

Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask Us for a policy identifying the categories of personal customer information that We share with Our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes, and providing contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this Privacy Policy, please submit a written request to the address below.

Visiting the Site from outside the United States:

We store and process all personal information within the US.

If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will typically be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where Our servers are located and Our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that We seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected.  If you are located outside of the United States and choose to provide information to Us, please note that We transfer the data, including personal information, to the United States and process it there.  Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Users of the Site from the European Union (“EU”):

If your personal information is subject to General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), in the course of providing the Site to you, We may transfer your personal information outside of the EU, principally to Our servers in the United States; this means that your personal information will not have the automatic protection of European data protection laws (including the GDPR) which apply in the EU.  In these circumstances, to ensure that your personal information continues to have adequate protection when it is transferred outside the EU, your personal information will only be transferred on one of the following bases:

1.         Where the transfer is subject to one or more of the appropriate safeguards for international transfers prescribed by applicable law (for example, standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission);

2.         A European Commission decision provides that the country or territory to which the transfer is made ensures an adequate level of protection; or

3.         There exists another situation where the transfer is permitted under applicable law (for example, where We have your explicit consent).

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal information when it is transferred outside the EU by contacting Us using the details set out below.

RETENTION OF DATA

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this information. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to perform a contract with you, comply with Our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce Our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Site, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

Your personal information resides in Our order system and is associated with your account with Rhino.

We will maintain the confidentiality of all personal information collected on the Site, from Our customer service desk and Our service providers, and will only disclose such information to employees and service providers who require such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Rhino takes the following measures to protect your personal information collected on the Site:

  • When you place orders on the Site, all of your order information, including your credit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to Our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than the operators of the Site from capturing and viewing your personal information.
  • To provide you with an increased level of security, online access to your personal information is protected with a password you select immediately after the initial logon process. If you use the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.
  • We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. Rhino will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (including unsolicited correspondence such as letters, phone calls or e-mail messages).
  • Since any order information you provide to Us on the Site will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your browser cannot support this level of security, you will not be able to order products through the Site. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While We strive to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Us on the Site.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of personal information in our custody and control.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS AND LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The privacy practices outlined in this Privacy Policy are for the Site only. The Site includes third-party advertising and hyperlinks to other websites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these third-party advertisers or websites (except for the sole purpose of fulfilling your orders). If you link to other websites, please review the privacy policies posted at those sites and contact said advertisers and websites directly with any inquiries. We do not have access to or control over the features that are used and their respective policies.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AND INTERNATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The Site does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).  We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected personal information from Children without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
