We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. This policy explains our practices regarding the collection and use of your personal information, as well as your options concerning the collection, use and disclosure of that information. By accessing this Site, you accept the practices described in this Policy.
Please note that this policy applies only to our Sites and that our Site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites not operated by us.

Your Contact Information & Opt-Out Options
We collect and hold your email address when you “opt-in” to our email list, order one of our free or paid products or services, or otherwise voluntarily provide us with your email address. We will use your email address in order to send information and services you have specifically requested and to notify you of new developments, products, services, trainings, events and occasional recommendations for individuals and organizations that we feel offer products or services that our customers might find useful. You can unsubscribe at any time. If we send you an email, it will contain an opt-out link which you can click to have your name removed from our e-mail list.
If you supply us with additional contact information (e.g., postal address, telephone and cell phone numbers, etc.), you may receive periodic communications from us, such as mailings or phone calls, with information on new products and services or upcoming events or other notices that we think will be useful or valuable to our customers.
If you do not wish to receive communications from us or have a problem with your subscription, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of every single one of our emails. If there is another issue, please let us know by emailing us at privacy@theakkeri.com. Please provide us with your exact name, email address, and telephone number (if needed) so we can accurately process your request.
Order Forms and Purchases
Our site uses an order form for you to purchase information, products, and services. We collect your contact information (e.g., mailing and e-mail addresses, phone number), financial information (i.e., credit card numbers), and demographic information (i.e., postal code, zip code) to process your order, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to communicate with you about your order, and for internal marketing purposes. We use your contact to send you a confirmation e-mail for which you cannot opt-out. We also use this information to send you information about our company and products and special promotions. Your contact information is also used to get in touch with you when necessary for additional information to process or fulfill your order. Unique identifiers are collected from Web site visitors to verify your identity and for use as account numbers in our record system. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to help us improve our Web site and our product and service offerings.
Cookies and Tracking Information
When you visit any of our Sites, a cookie may be placed on your computer for a number of reasons, such as (a) to keep track of your shopping cart, (b) to recognize you when you return to our site, (c) or to recognize whether a customer came to our site as a result of a promotion or advertisement with one of our partner's sites or email campaign. If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from our Sites, you may not be able to view all the text on the screens, or to experience a personalized visit, or to subscribe to certain service and product offerings on our sites. We also collect anonymous visitor information about how you utilize our site, such as IP addresses, browser types (such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.), and referring pages and pages visited. We use this information (a) to perform anonymous statistical analysis of Web page traffic patterns, (b) to administer our Website and servers, and (c) to improve our services.
From time to time we may use the information you provide to us to display advertisements to you on other sites, like Facebook, that are tailored to your personal characteristics, interests, and activities. You can go to those sites to learn how to opt out of receiving certain ads (note: You may not be able to opt out of all ads).
Links to Other Sites (Their Privacy Policies May Be Different)
Our Site may contain links to other websites, like our partner’s websites or links to booksellers, that may offer information, products, or services that our customers might find useful. These sites may request information from you. In such instances, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. We do not control the privacy policies, contents or links that appear on these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.
Surveys and Sweepstakes/Contests
From time to time, we may conduct online surveys to help us better understand and serve your needs, or conduct sweepstakes or contests. These offers may ask for contact information (e.g., e-mail address), financial information (e.g., credit card numbers), and demographic information (i.e., address, age, or income level). We may use this contact data from our surveys to send you information about our company. Unique identifiers are collected from the Web site to verify your identity. We use this data to help us improve our Web site and our product and service offerings.
Information from Other Sources
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (i.e., providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.
Sharing with Third Parties
We will NEVER sell your email. We may share your personal information to third-party contractors and service providers who assist us in delivering our products and services, fulfilling product orders, marketing our company and products, and operating our business.
