to data brokers or unrelated third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

However, certain privacy laws may define the terms "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Payment transactions are handled through third-party payment-processing providers such as Stripe rather than requiring TN Tinkering to maintain complete payment-card information on its own systems.

However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or website can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You acknowledge that transmission of information over the Internet carries some degree of risk.

14. Children's Privacy

For example, California's Attorney General identifies GPC as a mechanism that can be used to communicate an opt-out request for certain sales or sharing of personal information.

TN Tinkering is based in the United States.

If you access our Website from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other locations where TN Tinkering or its service providers operate.
