Privacy Policy

We Respect Your Privacy and it is most Important To Us
Tyrone is committed to user privacy in our services and products. This Privacy Policy outlines our personal information handling practices. If a user provides us with personal information, we treat it according to this Policy. We created this Privacy Policy to detail our commitment to protect the privacy of clients, customers, and users, and to insure the integrity of the Internet. Tyrone reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy at any time without notice. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on this WebSite so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Security Measures
Tyrone protects the personal information you provide us. Access to users' personal information is limited to people who need it to perform their job functions. Authorized third-party agents may also need access to some of users' personal information. For example, if Tyrone needs to ship products to customers, it shares the customer's name and address with the shipping company. Tyrone only provides third-party agents with the minimum amount of information needed to complete the requested transaction. Otherwise, we do not share personal information with third-parties without the user's permission to do so.

Tyrone may respond to court orders, subpoenas, or legal process. Tyrone may choose to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. Tyrone may collect and share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected fraud, illegal activities, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Tyrone's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
