COLLECTION OF INFORMATION USING COOKIES

We use "session cookies" to help you access and navigate the Site more efficiently, to customize the user experience, to store certain user information that you previously provided (e.g., username) and to statistically monitor how many users are using the Site. A "session cookie" is a temporary, small file or tool stored on a user's hard drive containing information that allows us to deliver customized information to you. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is placed or decline the receipt of cookies; however, certain features of the Site may not function properly or be available to you if your browser is configured to disable cookies. Session cookies are erased once you exit your web browser or turn off your computer.

Principia does not display or solicit any third-party advertising and does not collect or use any information obtained through session cookies for this purpose.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Principia uses Personal Information and General Information as identified below. Except as specified in this Privacy Policy, Principia does not rent, sell, trade or disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent.
Some specific examples of how Principia may use your Personal Information are:

We may combine General Information with Personal Information and may use and disclose the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

Unless you have consented, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information except for:

1. Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, including, but not limited to, our strategic business partners, who may use your information for purposes similar to the purposes for which Principia collects such information. Principia requires all such companies to comply with the terms of our Privacy Policy.
2. Fulfillment of Services. Principia may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions consistent with our Privacy Policy on our behalf. Examples include customer support specialists, web hosting companies, fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that coordinate mailings), data analysis firms, payment services firms and email service providers. Such third parties may be provided with access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use such information for any other purpose.
3. Compliance with Law and Fraud Protection. We may disclose any information, including, without limitation, Personal Information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion and without your prior permission, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. Principia reserves the right to disclose your Personal Information if we believe you have or are violating of our Terms of Use or in order to protect or defend Principia’s rights or property, even without a subpoena, warrant or other court order.
4. Sale or Transfer of Information. In the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets of Principia or the Site, Personal Information and/or other information collected through the Site may be sold, assigned or transferred to the party acquiring all or substantially all of the equity and/or assets of Principia or the Site. In the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, your information also may be transferred as a business asset.

CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you tell us that you do not want us to use your Personal Information to contact you, Principia will respect your wishes. You may instruct Principia to stop sending you email messages, newsletters or other information by sending a message through the Contact Us area of the Site with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject or, if available, following the "unsubscribe" instructions provided. Principia may, however, continue to use your Personal Information to contact you to service your account, or as otherwise authorized by law. Please note that if you use more than one name or email address when communicating with Principia or using the Site, you may continue to receive communications from Principia to any name and/or email address not specified in your opt-out request. If you would like to modify or delete your Personal Information, please send a message through the Contact Us area of the Site with clear instructions in the body of the email about what you would like to have modified or deleted or, if available, following the "edit profile" instructions provided.

HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION

Principia has implemented reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access and use. While Principia strives to protect your Personal Information, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure and, consequently, we cannot ensure the security of any information. In addition, Principia works to protect the security of your Personal Information when utilizing the Site by using well-known Internet encryption technologies, such as Transport Layer Security (TSL). You should be aware that Principia has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit or interact with even when a link may appear to said site from ours.

Principia wants you to feel confident using the Site. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although Principia takes steps to secure your Personal Information, Principia does not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their Personal Information. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/topics/identity-theft for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.

OUR SITE IS NOT FOR USE BY MINORS

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors. To use the Site, you must be the age of legal majority in your place of residence. By using the Site, you hereby represent that you are at least the age of legal majority in your place of residence. The Site does not contain an application or other mechanism to determine the age of users. All information provided to Principia will be treated as if it was provided by an adult. If, however, we learn that a minor has submitted Personal Information about himself/herself to us, we will delete the information.

THIRD PARTY LINKS

We may provide links to third-party web sites that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the information collection practices of any website that we do not own or control. We encourage you to review and understand the privacy practices of third-party websites before providing any information to or through them.

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices. When we post modifications to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "Last Revised" date at the top of this web page. The modified Privacy Policy will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of the modified Privacy Policy constitutes your agreement to abide and be bound by it. If you object to any modification, your sole recourse is to stop using the Site.

INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

California law permits individuals who provide Principia with Personal Information and who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. At this time, Principia does not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If Principia changes this policy, it will update this provision and provide instructions on how you may make a request for details concerning such information.

STORAGE OF INFORMATION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES

The Site is hosted in the United States. The Site is governed by United States law. If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States.
