Please read this Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is to not use our Services; by accessing or using our Services you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. HOW WE COLLECT, USE, AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect different types of information from or about you depending on how you interact with our Services. Generally, information can be grouped into two types: Personal (information that can be used to identify you as an individual) and Anonymous (information collected about your activities, but that doesn’t identify you). To provide clarity, we have outlined the types of information we collect, the collection source(s), our business purpose for collection or use of that information, and to whom that information is shared, sold, or disclosed, if applicable.
2. PERSONAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND SHARING
We may provide each category of personal information set forth in the table in Section 1 with third parties in limited ways that we believe are consistent with your expectations and that are compliant with law.
Service providers. We share your personal information with third parties that provide services to us. We engage these kinds of third parties with contracts that prohibit them from using your personal information for any purpose other than to deliver the services for which we have engaged the third-party. These kinds of third parties may provide business, professional, or technical support functions for us, such as payment processing, billing, shipping orders, quality assurance, and delivering you marketing materials on our behalf.
Affiliates.
Legal compliance. We disclose personal information to the courts, the government, law enforcement agencies, regulators, litigants, and similar recipients for legal compliance purposes.
Successors. We may disclose personal information to a buyer, potential buyer, or other successor to our business during negotiations of or in connection with a merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.
Network advertisers. Limited personal information may be provided to third parties for network advertising purposes. This information may be collected and used by certain third parties who, through the use of cookies, perform behavioral tracking and advertising across multiple web pages and/or social media platforms.
We also may disclose personal information with third parties with your consent or at your direction.
3. PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURITY AND RETENTION
We have reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of personal data that we maintain. For instance, when you enter certain information (such as credit card information) within our Services, we encrypt the transmission of that information for your security. Furthermore, as it relates to Social Security Numbers, we will (1) protect the confidentiality, (2) prohibit unlawful disclosure, and (3) limit access. We also require that our third-party service providers and contractors implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to ensure that your information is protected from unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure while in their possession.
While we make every effort to help ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, you should understand that no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be completely secure, accurate, complete, or current. This is particularly true for information collected by third-party resources and links to other external websites. While our intent is to provide links to other quality sites and third-party resources, we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of the information you provide to others. Any data or personal information you provide to third-party sites may not be protected by the same security protections as information you submit to us; this Policy does not apply, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.
Information is retained only for so long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out above, in accordance with applicable laws. Generally, this means we will retain your information while you are actively engaged with us, plus 7 years. For example, while you are part of a marketing text message list, an active loyalty program member, or make periodic purchases, we will retain all your information until such time that you stop engaging with us, and then for 7 years after. This additional 7 years ensures that we’ve met all the legal obligations associated with your latest activity with us, specifically those related to finance and tax, and it also allows us to reactivate information related to your past activity with us should you choose to come back within those 7 years. We believe that this retention period is in our best interest and yours; it is more customer friendly to be able to have your information on file than need to ask you for it again.
5. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from individuals under the age of 13. Likewise, we do not knowingly sell the information of consumers who are less than 13 years of age. If you are under the age of 13, do not provide any personal information to us or use any of our Services.
We also do not knowingly sell or share the information of consumers under the age of 16.
If we discover that we have collected information from an individual who is under the age of 13, we will take appropriate action, including deleting their information.
