HOW YOU CONTROL YOUR INFORMATION

You have rights and choices in connection with the personal information we have about you.

  • Data Subject Rights: Depending on local laws, you may have rights with respect to your personal information. For example, you may be able to request access to the personal information we maintain about you, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information, and have the personal information deleted or transmitted to a third-party.  You may request to access, change, or delete your personal information through our Privacy Request Portal. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity when you make a request.  You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

  • Marketing & Advertising Preferences: Your online account may offer you the ability to edit your marketing preferences. You can also opt-out of receiving marketing communications (such as email, postal mail or text messages) by following the unsubscribe instructions sent within those communications or you can make a request through our Privacy Request Portal. When you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will no longer use the related personal information (such as your email address or phone number) for targeted advertising purposes.

  • Mobile Device & Browser Preferences: Depending on your mobile device or web browser, we may request your location or request to send you push notifications. You can edit your preferences using the settings on your device.

  • Cookie Preferences: You can choose how certain cookies are used in connection with our websites.

For additional details see the How We Use Cookies section.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION TO ADVERTISE

We may use, disclose or otherwise process your personal information to advertise our products and services in different ways, including targeted advertising.   We work with third party advertising companies (such as advertising networks) to serve advertisements on our behalf. These advertising companies may use cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect device identifiers, online or network activity information, commercial information, or inferences, such as information about the websites you visit over time and the advertisements you click on to deliver advertisements that are targeted to you. You can opt-out of cookie-based advertising based on your visits to our sites by editing your cookie preferences as described in the How We Use Cookies section. Please note that even if you opt-out, you may still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on the websites you visit over time and the advertisements you click on and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

We also work with third-party platforms, including platforms operated by social networks, to show you advertisements or measure the effectiveness of our advertisements. We may convert your email address, telephone number, or other information into a unique value and have these third-party platforms match this unique value with a user on their platform or with other data they may have. This matching enables us to deliver advertisements to you and others on these platforms. You also can request that we refrain from using your personal information in this way.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN INFORMATION

In general, we retain personal information as long as reasonably needed to achieve the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.  There are many factors that we use to determine how long personal information is retained, such as:

  • the purposes for which the personal information was collected, including to provide our products and services;

  • your marketing preferences and how you engage with our Brands;

  • any legal or regulatory requirements that apply to the personal information; and

  • whether the personal information may be relevant to us in protecting our own rights (e.g. applicable limitation periods).

 

COOKIES.

HOW WE USE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser which allows us to remember you when you come back to our websites and provide you with personalized experiences and advertisements. We use different types of cookies on our websites, which may include strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and targeting cookies.

You can edit your preferences by accessing the “Manage Cookies” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information / Target Ads” link at the bottom of each of our Brand websites or by editing your browser settings.  When editing your cookie preferences, please note that your settings only apply to the browser you use to submit your opt-out request, so if you use multiple browsers or devices, you must opt-out on each browser, on each device. Your opt-out is enabled using cookies so once you opt-out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies on a device, you will need to opt-out again on that browser on that device.

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.

Our websites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.

Behavioral Advertising

  • We use Shopify Audiences to help us show ads on other websites with our advertising partners to buyers who made purchases with other Shopify merchants and who may also be interested in what we have to offer. We also share information about your use of the Site, your purchases, and the email address associated with your purchases with Shopify Audiences, through which other Shopify merchants may make offers you may be interested in.

      Retention

      When you place an order through the Site, we will retain your Personal Information for our records unless and until you ask us to erase this information. For more information on your right of erasure, please see the ‘Your rights’ section below.

      Automatic decision-making

      If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (which includes profiling), when that decision-making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

      We [DO/DO NOT] engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data.

      Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.

      Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:

      • Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.

      • Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.

      Your rights

      If you are a resident of California, you have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you (also known as the ‘Right to Know’), to port it to a new service, and to ask that your Personal Information be corrected, updated, or erased.

      If you would like to designate an authorized agent to submit these requests on your behalf, please contact us at the address above.
