Data Protection and Security
We do not sell your Personal Information to anyone for any purpose. We maintain information about you in our business records while you are a customer, or until it is no longer needed for business, tax, or legal purposes. We use a highly encrypted CDN to protect Personal Information stored at Potclay.com servers. All the passwords in our web service are hashed by using the SHA-1 cryptographic hash function.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose online (in reviews and discussion areas, within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other users when you send comments or messages through our blogs/forums and other users can contact you through messages and comments. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Potclay does not rent or sell your personal information.
Creation of account and order placements deems the use of your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major website changes, updates on Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy, alerting you to messages from other members or for customer service purposes). We use your contact information to send offers based on your previous orders and interests.
We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the website and to create new features, functionality, and services by storing, tracking and analyzing user preferences and trends.

Potclay may share demographic information with business partners, such as “30% of users who regularly use Potclay are between 40 and 45″ or similar. No personally identifiable information will ever be used without your permission.
We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally identifiable information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with laws or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.
