Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2017
At Toms Sierra Company, Inc. (dba, and hereinafter referred to as, “Sierra Energy”), we take seriously your interest in how your information is collected and used. Please read the following to understand about Sierra Energy’s privacy practices.
This Privacy Notice discloses the privacy practices of our Website, whether accessed through a computer, tablet, smartphone or other device (“Device” or “Devices”). Specifically, this Privacy Notice outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using our Website (collectively, “Services”), and the ways in which we use and share this information.
This Privacy Notice does not apply to any information you may provide to us, or that we may collect, offline and/or through other means (for example, at one of our stores), except for the Sierra Energy Loyalty Club. Please read this Privacy Notice carefully. By using the Services, you agree that your use of our Services, and any dispute over our online privacy practices, is governed by this Privacy Notice and our Terms of Service. Because the web is constantly changing, Sierra Energy may need to change its Privacy Notice at some point in the future, in which case Sierra Energy will post the revised Privacy Notice on its Website. If Sierra Energy makes a change in the way it collects, uses or shares your information, Sierra Energy will update the “Last Updated” date to reflect the date of the change(s). By continuing to use the Services after the posting of any such changes, you accept the Privacy Notice as modified. Your access of the Services for the limited purpose of reviewing this Privacy Notice does not constitute your acceptance of this Privacy Notice unless you make any further use of the Services.

How We Collect Information
The information that Sierra Energy collects about you while you are using its Services falls into one general category: information you provide to Sierra Energy. All of the information may be collected directly by Sierra Energy, or it may be collected by a vendor providing contractual services to Sierra Energy, such as a service provider.
Information You Provide to Sierra Energy
Sierra Energy may collect and store information that you voluntarily supply to it while using its Services, including information you send to by email or other platforms in connection with a feature provided through the Services. This may include information that can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone numbers (including cellular), and birth date. This information would be exclusively provided as part of the Sierra Energy Loyalty Club.
Your Choices.
When Sierra Energy requests information from you through our Services, you may always choose not to provide that information. However, if you decline to supply or provide Sierra Energy with certain information while using its Services, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Services, including the Sierra Energy Loyalty Club.
Collection of Information by Service Providers
In addition, Sierra Energy’s service providers may use their own cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect the information listed above from the Services. The collection of information by Sierra Energy’s service providers is governed by their relevant privacy notices, for which Sierra Energy has no responsibility or liability, and is not covered by Sierra Energy’s Privacy Notice. If you have any questions regarding the privacy notice of one of the service providers, you should contact the service provider directly for more information.
How Sierra Energy Uses Information
Sierra Energy may use the information we collect from you while you are using the Services for any purpose related to the Services and in a variety of other ways, including, for example:
• for the purpose for which the information was submitted;

How Sierra Energy Shares Information
Sharing for Services Administration. Sierra Energy may provide your information to its service providers for purposes related to Services administration.
Sharing Information for Advertising and Other Promotional Purposes.
Sierra Energy may use service providers to target and serve you, as part of your enrollment in the Sierra Energy Loyalty Club. Sierra Energy, however, does not share your information, or technical or aggregate information, with those service providers. Sierra Energy itself uses the technical or aggregate information, which may be based on data that includes your information, and such items as the usage of your Sierra Energy Loyalty Club card. Sierra Energy, for example, may use your information to deliver advertisements to you through the Services or for other promotional purposes through its service providers. Sierra Energy also may use your information to deliver advertisements, or for other promotional purposes, which are tailored to match the perceived interests of consumer, through its service providers. The information obtained by Sierra Energy may also be used to help measure and research an advertisement’s effectiveness, or for other purposes.
Sharing for Other Purposes. Please be aware that Sierra Energy may occasionally release information about you if required to do so by law or if, in our business judgment, such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to enforce the Terms of Service; or (c) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Sierra Energy’s Services, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, our licensors, other users, and/or the public.
Please also note that if Sierra Energy sells some or all of our assets, or its Services are acquired by another company, information collected about its Services’ users may be among the transferred assets.

Security
All information we gather on our Services is stored within databases to which only Sierra Energy and its service providers are provided access. However, as effective as the reasonable security measures implemented by may be, no physical or electronic security system is impenetrable. Sierra Energy cannot guarantee the security of its Services’ servers or databases, nor can it guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.
