Privacy Is Important to Us

“Personally Identifiable Information” (PII), as described in United States privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read Sycamore International’s Privacy Policy below carefully to understand how we collect, use, protect, and handle your PII in accordance with our website.

Do we use “cookies”?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information (e.g., information you submit through a form). They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

Sycamore International uses cookies to:

• Keep track of advertisements.
• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions to offer improved future site experiences. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

Through your browser settings, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is sent, or you can turn off all cookies. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.

Additional Acts & Practices
California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. Read more about CalOPPA here.

In accordance with CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously.
• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or at a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy” and can easily be found on the page specified above.
• Notifications of any Privacy Policy changes can be found on our Privacy Policy page
• You can update your personal information by email

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

CAN-SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
• Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

In accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:

• Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the physical address of our corporate headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Quickly honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by accessing a link included within each email.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at info@sycamoreinternational.com or, follow the instructions within each email, and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles (FIPP) form the backbone of privacy law in the United States, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding FIPP and how it should be implemented is critical for compliance with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

To comply with FIPP, we will take the following responsive actions, should a data breach occur: Notify you via email within 7 business days.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only those individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
