PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information that we obtain in various contexts.

The following are the categories and types of personal information that we or our third-party partners may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Services:

  • Commercial information, such as credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information; records of products or services purchased;

  • Device and online identifiers and related information, including internet protocol (IP) address, mobile ad identifiers, data collected from cookies, beacons, and pixel tags, and similar unique identifiers;

  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with an internet website, application, mobile app, or advertisement; and

  • Any other personal information that you voluntarily provide us.


HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect personal information that you provide to us directly. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Information you provide when you contact us via email or text message, or through other Internet-enabled communications;

  • Information you provide to us in person, over the telephone, or via regular mail;

  • Your responses to surveys that you choose to complete for us;

Personal Information We Collect Automatically

When you use our Services, open or click on emails we send you, or interact with our advertisements, we or third parties we work with may automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies and other tracking technologies described below.

  • Cookies and Similar Technology: "Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a website for the purpose of collecting data to facilitate and enhance your communication and interaction with that website. Such data may include, for example, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited our Services, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Services you visited and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, and geographic information based on your IP data. We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Services. We may also use cookies to customize your visit to the Services and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the Services and Services. 

  • Tracking Pixels: We use tracking pixels to collect information from users of our Services. A tracking pixel is a transparent graphic image (the size of a 1x1 pixel on your device screen) that is placed on a webpage of our Services and, in combination with cookies, allows us to collect information regarding your use of that webpage. We may also place tracking pixels in our email messages to collect information regarding your interaction with our email and any URL links included in the contents of the email. These tracking pixels trigger ads on participating websites and tell us when an advertisement we run on another website has been clicked on. This information helps us evaluate which advertisements are more appealing to users.

  • Clickstream Data: As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Services. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Services, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Services and our Services. 

  • Analytics: We may work with third-party vendors who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Services and other Services. One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by these cookies about your use (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on activity for its staff, and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Website and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Please refer to the currently available opt-outs for Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. You may obtain additional information about Google Analytics by visiting the section titled "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services,” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

  • Social Media Platforms and Networks: If you interact with us on social media or use features, such as plugins, widgets, or other tools made available by social media platforms or networks in connection with our Services, we may collect information that you share with us on social media or that such platforms share with us. Please review the privacy policies and settings of the social media platforms and networks that you use for more information about their privacy practices.

  • From Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as data analytics providers, marketing or advertising vendors, fraud prevention vendors, vendors that provide other services on our behalf, or publicly available sources.

Because non-personal information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use, and disclose such information for any purpose permitted by law. In some instances, we may combine non-personal Information with personal information. If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information to the extent that it is capable of personally identifying you. We reserve the right to develop and derive aggregate data (meaning information that relates to a group or category of individuals, from which individual identities have been removed) from personal information in order to enhance and maintain the Services, and such aggregate data will be treated as non-personal information.

HOW WE DISCLOSE OR SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

In addition to using your personal information ourselves for the reasons stated above (and as otherwise mentioned in this Privacy Policy), we may disclose your personal information to other affiliates and entities in the following instances:

  • Service Providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who may use your information to provide us with services including, but not limited to: website hosting, certain data analytics services, infrastructure provision, information technology services, customer service, email delivery services, payment processing, auditing, and anti-fraud monitoring. These service providers may have access to personal information that is necessary to perform their functions, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.

  • Payment Processor: Chain Brands does not directly collect or store your payment information. If you make payments to us via credit card, the credit card payment information accessible by us only includes partial payment or credit card information, and limited transaction information via our payment processors’ portals. When you purchase an item on our Website your full credit card information is processed by our payment processor, Shop Pay, and Shop Pay may provide us with limited information to confirm the transaction. Information collected by Shop Pay is governed by Shopify’s privacy policy available here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy/.

Information collected by Tixr is governed by Tixr’s privacy policy available here: https://www.tixr.com/privacy

  • Business and Advertising Partners: We may share your personal information with third parties who partner with us to promote products and services, provide marketing and advertisements, conduct data analytics, or use the data for other commercial purposes. We do not control how these third parties use and share your personal information once they receive it. You will need to contact such third parties directly for information about their privacy practices or to exercise any rights you may have (including if you would like to opt-out of marketing messages).

  • Legal Compliance and to Defend Our Rights: We may disclose personal information and other information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our Terms and Conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Please note that if you specifically consent to additional uses of your personal information, we may use your personal information in a manner consistent with that consent.

We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you, such as providers of various products and services. We may also provide links that allow you to send or forward a post from our Services through or to third-party social media sites, or other means of electronic communication, such as an email or text messaging service. We do not endorse any other websites, providers, or services by providing such links, and this Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Services. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any websites and services we link to on our Services, and you should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that site may collect about you.

The Services may also integrate with social media services. We do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Services, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.

You should be aware that any personal information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, forum, social network, or otherwise may be viewed and used by others. By using such features, you assume the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING

  • Targeted Advertising / Behavioral Advertising: We may ourselves, or with third-party vendors, use your information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our Services or other websites. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described below may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know about your interests in connection with the delivery of a specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because it allows you to see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. If you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described in the section titled Your Choices below.

  • Cross-Device Matching: We may use your information to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if you have interacted with our Services across multiple devices and to match such devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated with each other, and may further provide services to our advertisers to better enable cross-device targeting and analysis. To opt-out of or restrict our use of certain cross-device data, please see the section titled Your Choices below.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personal information is maintained on our servers or those of our vendors, and is accessible by authorized employees, independent contractors, representatives, and agents as necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. We use reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal information. However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by using the information the section below titled Contacting Us.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your personal information for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Services, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data, or any other data that constitutes non-personal information. While deletion is pending, we may securely store your personal information in backup archives in accordance with our routine data backup procedures, and if we do so, your data will be securely stored and isolated from any further processing until deletion is possible.

YOUR CHOICES

Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the choices described in this section regarding your personal information and communications from us. You may also have certain additional rights available depending on laws in your state or country of residence, as described further below in the Privacy Policy.

  • Interest-Based Advertising: You may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data and advertising partners that participate in certain industry self-regulatory programs. The DAA provides a website at www.aboutads.info/consumers with information about how to opt out of targeted advertising from some or all of the DAA’s participating companies. Additionally, the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) offers a website at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ where you can opt out of interest-based advertising from some or all of the NAI’s members. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. In the event that we perform cross-device matching (as described above), once you have opted out on one device (“Opted-Out Device”), we will not use any new data from the Opted-Out Device to identify you on another device for interest-based advertising purposes, and we will not use data from another device for interest-based advertising purposes on the Opted-Out Device.
