Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains the personally identifiable information that we may collect, how we may collect and use it, and certain other privacy issues, including the precautions we take to protect your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to visitors to www.swaggos.com (“Website”) and to our online customers. By visiting or using our Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
Information We Collect
We collect aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, information volunteered by the consumer, such as survey information and/or site registrations.
What we collect if you visit our site:
We gather and store certain limited information about your visit. You should know that this information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
- Your IP address, which is an identifier assigned either to your internet service or directly to your computer. We use the IP address to direct internet traffic to you;
- Your browsing behavior, which includes your browser and device characteristics;
- The date and time you visited;
- The pages or services you accessed; and
- Any referring URLs, or sites that directed you to our site.
The information we automatically collect or store is used by us only for improving the content of our web pages and to help us understand how people are using our services so that we may continually improve the performance, suitability and usefulness of our sites to you, our customers and potential customers.
What we collect if you volunteer information:
If, during your visit, you provide us with personal information by filling out a form, participate in a survey, register for an account, send an e-mail, or perform some other transaction on-line, the following additional information will be collected:
- The e-mail address, and contents of e-mail, for those who communicate with us via e-mail;
- Information volunteered in response to a survey or by participating in a contest or other promotion sponsored by us;
- Information volunteered during product design and personalization;
- Information volunteered during your registration on our site; and
- Information volunteered through an on-line form for any other purpose, including requests to receive samples or marketing information, credit applications, subscriptions to our newsletter, and use of our on-line order forms to order products or services.
We use the information that you provide for the purpose of responding to your requests and communicating with you. As an added service to you, we may also use this information to pre-populate on-line order forms to save you time in the ordering and re-ordering process. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features.
External use of volunteered information:
Please note that there are instances where we share your volunteered information with third parties.
Swaggos, like many internet and catalog retailers, employs other companies and individuals to perform specific functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivery of packages, mail and e-mail, address hygiene, credit card processing services, research that improves the quality of services or offers provided to you, or performing a credit check if requested as part of your order.
These providers have access to the information that they require to perform their functions but are strictly forbidden from using it for any other purposes. You may, however, “opt-out” of this use of your volunteered information at any time, but doing so may impair our ability to provide you with proper service and to process your orders.
We may disclose your name and mailing address to carefully screened and selected third parties for marketing purposes. However, we never share your e-mail address, phone number, credit card or financial information for these purposes.
Cookies, Interest-Based Advertising and Opt-Outs
With respect to cookies: We use cookies to record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as personalized greetings, and storage of items in your Projects, Artwork, and Quotes folders between visits.
Most Web browsers accept cookies by default, but allow users to reject cookies by changing the browser preferences. Please note that certain features of our site may not work quite as well as we would like, or as well as you would expect, once cookies are disabled. However, the use of cookies is in your control.
Most importantly, cookies created on your computer by using our sites or apps do not contain personally identifying information.
Interest-based advertising (also called online behavioral advertising) uses information collected across multiple websites to predict your preferences or infer interests and to show you ads that are more likely to be of interest to you. Our third party advertisers may collect anonymous information about your choices on our site through the use of cookies and other technologies to deliver relevant banner advertisements that are tailored to your interests.
Communications from Swaggos: If you do not want to receive email communications from Swaggos about our own or third-party products and services that may be of interest to you, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at orders@swaggos.com. You can also click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of our emails. We may still contact you via mail or phone, unless you request to be added to our Do-Not-Call list, and/or our Do-Not-Mail list. Please be sure to provide your exact name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number(s) and the list or lists you would like to be included on (Do-Not-Call, and/or Do-Not-Mail).
Sharing Information with Others for Marketing Purposes: If you do not want Swaggos to share your Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes, please let us know by sending a written request to orders@swaggos.com. If you send a written request, please be sure to include your exact name, mailing address and telephone number(s) and a statement that you would like us not to share your Personal Information with other organizations that may have special offers, products or services that may be of interest to you. Even if you opt-out of this sharing, we may still share Personal Information about you as required by law, or if you purchase a product or service from a third party or request additional information about such a product or service.
Security and Social Media
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. This information is transmitted using industry standard encryption techniques. We also process credit card information by phone.
It is important to recognize that whatever you transmit or disclose online could be collected and used by others or even unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data transmission over the internet can ever be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us. You may also take steps of your own to protect your information.
You should also know that certain social media platforms or features (“Features”), such as the Facebook® virtual button, the Twitter® virtual button and other similar Features buttons may be used to collect your IP address, determine what pages your are visiting and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with social media Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
