Last Updated June 2020

Protecting your privacy is important to Turgla Home Inc. (“Turgla Home”). Turgla Home is an e-commerce website that markets and sells home and kitchen goods to consumers. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how we collect, share and secure information provided by you on www.turglahome.com (“website”).

By visiting our website, submitting information and/or purchasing any products, you agree to let us collect and use your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. Therefore, before you provide us with any personal information, you should read through this Privacy Policy in its entirety and understand its terms. We may update the Policy from time to time, so please check it occasionally. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, made subject to and is governed by, that certain Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) by and between us and you (“you”).

This website is not intended to sell or ship products to customers outside of either the United States or Canada.

I.Information We Collect

There are three general categories of information we collect: information you voluntarily provide, information we obtain when you use our website (collectively “services”) and information we collect through third parties or public sources.

A.Information You Voluntarily Provide

When you interact with us, we collect information that you voluntarily share with us. For example, you may give us your personally identifiable information, which includes, but is not limited to, identifiers such as your name, username and password, address (postal and email), telephone number (“Personal Information”) by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. When you communicate with us, we will collect whatever information you volunteer. You should therefore not send messages or share content that you do not want us to see, save or share.

B.Information We Get When You Use Our Website or Services

When you use our website, we collect information about you and your use of the website. For example, we collect the following types of information when you use our website or services:

The information we may collect includes the following information: name, address, email phone number, and credit card information. While we provide our consumers the convenience of purchasing products through a credit card, we do not take possession of our consumers’ credit card information. Rather, that information is provided directly to a third party service provider for processing. Accordingly, the Personal Information retained by Turgla Home does not include consumers’ credit card information or number.

Please make sure you also consult our general privacy policy above for complete information.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that Turgla Home disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:

The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.

The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.

Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.

The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.

The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:

sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and

disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that Turgla Home delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.

Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).

Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the deletion of the information may likely render impossible or seriously impair the objectives of the research, if you previously provided informed consent.

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

Comply with a legal obligation.

Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Clicking on this link, completing the CCPA Request Form and sending it to us through this site.

Emailing us at customerservice@turglahome.com;

Calling our Customer service department at 301-685-6222;

Sending a letter to us at: Turgla Home Customer Service, 5220 Sunnyside Avenue, Beltsville, MD 20705

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Turgla Home does not sell your personal information.

-Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
