If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by the Site infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted by a user in connection with a review), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. If you believe that your copyright-protected work has been copied and posted on the Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, then please contact our DMCA Designated Agent (as identified below), with the following information:
1. An electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest; 2. Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple works are claimed to be infringed, a representative list of such works (for example: title, author, any registration or tracking number, URL); 3. Reasonably sufficient detail to enable us to identify and locate the material that is claimed to be infringing (for example a link to the page that contains the material); 4.

It is our policy that, upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material. There are substantial penalties for false claims (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) - providing sanctions for material misrepresentations of copyright infringement). Pursuant to Title II of the DMCA, all claims alleging copyright infringement for material that you believe to be residing on our Site, system or network should be promptly sent in the form of written notice to our designated agent: Designated Agent for DMCA Notices: (the “DMCA Agent”). Email: contact@ticalofficial.com

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification If you believe a notice of alleged copyright infringement under the DMCA has been wrongly filed against you, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA Agent. Specific requirements for a proper counter-notification are set forth in the DMCA (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)). A valid counter-notification must be a written communication that includes all of the following elements:
1. A physical or electronic signature; 2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; 3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and 4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the U.S., for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant who submitted the DMCA notice alleging copyright infringement. The original complainant will then have ten days to notify us that it has filed a lawsuit relating to the allegedly infringing material otherwise we will restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it. Repeat Infringer Policy Pursuant to Section 512 of the DMCA, it is our policy to terminate the account of any repeat copyright infringer in appropriate circumstances.

For California Residents. California residents have the right to opt out of letting us share PII with our Partners. Please contact us at contact@ticalofficial.com with "Request for California Opt-Out" as the subject line and in the body of your message. Please also note that under California law, businesses are only required to respond to a customer request once during any calendar year. The California Online Privacy Protection Act requires that we outline our practice as it is related to federal do-not-track signals that may come from your browser. Because this signal does not often reflect the preference of our consumers, this website does not respond to it. Users may, however, request to opt out, as discussed earlier in this Agreement. For International Users. This Site operates in the United States and as a result, the information we collect may be stored in the United States. Please leave this site immediately if you are accessing this site from outside the United States. For Minors & Children. Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our Site is not directed to anyone under the age of 21, and as such we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 21 years of age, then please do not use or access the Site at any time or in any manner. If we learn that personal information has been collected from persons under 13 years of age, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. By using this site, you represent that you are at least 21 years of age.
SECTION 3 – SECURITY: How we protect your information We use Google Analytics to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of, any data that you share. Google Analytics has a team dedicated to keeping personal information secure. They maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession. They employ security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout our network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it) and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, however, no security system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee that any information provided to us in connection with the Service will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.
How we protect your information with respect to third party sites TICAL neither owns nor controls the third-party websites accessible through the Service. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third-party, whether by means of a link on the Site or otherwise, and before providing any personally-identifying information to any third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users' discretion, protect their privacy.
SECTION 4 – YOUR CHOICES Access, Correction, Deletion. We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access to the data, including any PII you may have provided through your use of the Service. If you wish to access or amend any such information we hold about you, or to request that we delete or transfer any information about you that we have obtained from you, you may contact us at contact@ticalofficial.com. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so. At any time, you may object to the processing of your PII, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you believe your right to privacy granted by applicable data protection laws has been infringed upon, please contact us at contact@ticalofficial.com. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with data protection authorities.
Opting out from Commercial Communications and Analytics.

You may opt out from emails by clicking “unsubscribe” in the emails you receive from us.
SECTION 5 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY: As indicated above, we may, in our sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected here and the date new versions are posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless we obtain your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after such time as the revised Privacy Policy takes effect, and not to information collected under any earlier Privacy Policies. Users should regularly check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. We will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the Site. However, we may, as determined in our discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain and update their contact information.
