ANALYTICS INFORMATION

We use Google Analytics to analyze the usage of our Site and the traffic thereto.  It helps us understand how you use and interact with our Site. Google Analytics gathers this information about you and your use of our Site by the use of cookies (for more information please refer to the below section entitled “Cookies Policy”).  This information is then gathered as it relates to our Site and is used to create reports about users’ interaction with our Site and to understand how traffic is driven to our Site. Additional information about how Google uses data received from its partners, like us, is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

We may also use Google Ads and/or Facebook Ads to measure performance and provide advertising campaigns that report back insights into how you and others saw and/or interacted with the ad(s).  We may also use remarketing and/or retargeting ads for marketing purposes and to market our products and/or service and/or Site with other third-party companies, such as Instagram/Facebook/Google, based on your past history of visiting our Site.  This may be accomplished via pixels, cookies or other similar automatic data collection technology.

The Company reserves the right to use tracking pixels, which collects data on visitors to our Site from social media platforms such as Facebook.  This helps us track conversions from targeted ads, track user behavior, collect web traffic, optimize ad performance, and build a targeted audience for remarketing and future marketing purposes, similar to a cookie.

COOKIES POLICY

A cookie is a text file that contains an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server and kept by the browser. Each time the browser requests a page from the server, the identification is delivered back to the server. Cookies are classified as “persistent” or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be saved by a web browser and will remain valid until it is destroyed by the user before the expiry date; on the other hand, a session cookie will expire when the web browser is closed at the conclusion of the user session. Cookies do not usually contain information that can be used to personally identify a user, but the personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored or obtained from cookies.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • authentication – we use cookies to identify you when you visit our Site and as you browse and/or navigate our Site;
  • active status – we use cookies to help us to determine if you are logged into our Site and/or to remember and process items in your cart;
  • security – we use cookies as a security protocol to protect your account, including preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and to protect our Site and services generally;
  • advertising – we use cookies to tailor our advertisements to be relevant to you; and
  • analysis – we use cookies to help us to analyze the use and performance of our Site and services.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept and/or delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version.  However, you can obtain updated information regarding blocking and deleting cookies via the following:

  • https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=en (Google Chrome);
  • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences (Firefox);

Please note that the blocking or disabling of certain cookies may have a negative impact on the functions or features of our Site.  That is, some features of our Site may not be available to you if you choose to block or disable certain cookies.

RETENTION & PROTECTION

We will only keep your personal information for as long as you want to stay connected with us.  As this time will vary, there is no precise duration to provide.  As a general rule, however, we will continue to send you email messages and newsletters via our email subscription (which you either signed up for or were automatically enrolled via other activities on our Site) until you opt out of these emails.

For payment and sensitive credit/debit card information, we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate (technically a Transport Layer Security aka “TLS certificate”), which is an encryption security protocol to protect this information. The SSL/TLS certificate encrypts this data and ensures that anyone who intercepts the data can only see a scrambled set of characters and the information is safe and only visible to the website in which it was entered.  We do not store or process this information personally on our server, but instead use a third-party service provider.

We use safeguards that are commercially responsible and accepted in the industry to protect your personal information. You acknowledge that we cannot prevent all misuse and unauthorized access to your personal information and hold us harmless should your personal information be tampered and/or intercepted without your or our consent.  This includes a release of all claims associated with the unauthorized third-parties’ use of said information.

Should a data breach occur, we will promptly notify you within 10 business days of the known breach unless you reside in the United Kingdom and/or the European Union, which requires notices of a serious data breach within 72 hours after we become aware of said breach.

You may have additional rights depending on where you live, please refer to sections below regarding “Territories”. 

PASSWORD USE & PROTECTION

You may be required to create an account with a username and/or password to login and access certain features and/or content on our Site, or to use certain products or services.   You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account’s login credentials (i.e. username and password).  Additionally, you are solely responsible for any activities, by you or others, that may occur through your account and accessed via your login credentials.

We are not liable for any unauthorized use of your account or security information or breaches of your account due to the unauthorized use of your login credentials.  We highly recommend that you log out of your account after each session ends to prevent unauthorized use or access.

You are not authorized to share your account or login credentials with anyone other than yourself so that others may not gain unauthorized access to our Site or Content via your account and/or login credentials.

You may have additional rights depending on where you live, please refer to sections below regarding “Territories”.

UNITED KINGDOM’S GDPR (“UK GDPR”)

If you live in the UK, then your personal information may fall under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act of 2018 (“DPA 2018”).

The DPA 2018 sets out the personal information data protection framework for UK residents and replaces the Data Protection Act of 1998, coming into effect on May 25, 2018.  Note, it was amended on January 1, 2021 to reflect the UK’s status as outside of the EU. It supplements the UK GDPR, by providing exemptions, extending data protection to national security and defense and sets out the Information Commissioner’s powers/functions.

The UK GDPR is a UK law that became effective on January 1, 2021.  It is based on the EU/EEA GDPR, which used to apply to the UK before January 1, 2021, with some changes.

If your personal information was collected before January 1, 2021 (referred to as “legacy date”), then it will still be subject to the EU/EEA GDPR as of December 31, 2020 (aka “frozen GDPR”).  As of now, no significant changes exist between the frozen GDPR and UK GDPR and, thus, please refer to the above section entitled “GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (“GDPR”) for your additional rights prior to January 1, 2021.

We will only process and/or collect your personal information as follows:

  • Consent: you will NOT be automatically enrolled in our email list to receive messages and/or newsletters unless you affirmatively consent to the same.  You can also opt out of any data collection technology by activating the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser and/or declining the cookies feature and unsubscribing from our emails;

BRAZIL’S LGPD (“BRAZIL’S GDPR”)

If you live in Brazil, then your personal information may fall under Brazil’s LGPD (Lei Geral de Protecao de Dados Pessoais – often referred to as “Brazil’s GDPR”).  Brazil’s GDPR was signed into law and has been effective since September 18, 2020.  The laws are drafted and based on the EU/EEA’s and UK’s GDPR.

We will only process and/or collect your personal information as follows:

  • Consent: you will NOT be automatically enrolled in our email list to receive messages and/or newsletters unless you affirmatively consent to the same.  You can also opt out of any data collection technology by activating the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser and/or declining the cookies feature and unsubscribing from our emails;

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you reside in California, your personal information entitles you to additional rights and may be governed under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

CalOPPA: A “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) is a setting that can be activated on certain browsers to block behavioral tracking from third-party services, such as Google Adwords.  Your browser may allow you to automatically transmit a DNT signal to websites that you visit.  Please note, there is no consensus in the industry as to what constitutes a DNT.  Currently, we do not alter our practices if it receives a DNT signal from your and/or a visitor’s browser.  To learn more about DNT visit: http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
