Data Privacy at Baudville Brands
Baudville Brands cares about protecting our customers’ privacy. We value your trust very highly, and will work to protect the security and privacy of any Personal Information you provide to us, and will only use it as described in this Privacy Policy. Baudville Brands has established a comprehensive privacy program designed to help us respect and protect your data privacy rights.
Notice
Baudville Brands shall inform an individual of the purpose for which it collects and uses the Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Baudville Brands discloses or may disclose that Information. Baudville Brands shall provide the individual with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Information to Baudville Brands, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Baudville Brands uses or discloses the Information for a purpose other than for which it was originally collected.
Choice
Baudville Brands will offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt out) whether their Personal Information is (1) to be disclosed to a third party or (2) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. For Sensitive Personal Information, Baudville Brands will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly (opt out) consent to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.
Onward Transfers
Prior to disclosing Personal Information to a third party, Baudville Brands shall notify the individual of such disclosure and allow the individual the choice (opt out) of such disclosure. Baudville Brands shall ensure that any third party for which Personal Information may be disclosed subscribes to the Principles or is subject to laws providing the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Principles and agrees in writing to provide an adequate level of privacy protection.
Data Security
Baudville Brands shall take reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Baudville Brands has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Baudville Brands cannot guarantee the security of Information on or transmitted via the Internet.
Data Integrity
Baudville Brands shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant for the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Baudville Brands shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.
Access
Baudville Brands shall allow an individual access to their Personal Information and allow the individual to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.
Enforcement
Baudville Brands uses a self-assessment approach to assure compliance with this Privacy Policy and periodically verifies that the policy is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, completely implemented and accessible, and in conformity with the Principles. We encourage interested persons to raise any concerns using the contact information provided, and we will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with the Principles.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy, at any time and without prior notice, by posting the revised version of this Privacy Policy on this Site. These changes will only apply to Personal Information we collect after we have posted the revised Privacy Policy. Your use of this Site following any such change constitutes your agreement that all Personal Information collected from or about you through this Site after the revised Privacy Policy is posted will be subject to the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. However, we collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser, which allows us to track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individuals remain anonymous unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
However, if you have created a user identity on one of your visits to this Site (for example, by making a purchase or creating an account), we may link the information provided by your browser to information that identifies you personally and use it for the purposes described below. In addition, we may review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network. If we suspect criminal activity, we might share our server logs—which contain visitors’ IP addresses—with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Information You Volunteer
We collect the Personal Information that you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use this Site, for example, the information you provide when you request information about products or services, request a catalog, purchase a product or service, contact us regarding a purchase, or enter a contest or promotion. This information may include your name, shipping/billing address, email address, phone number, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, and personal interests and information used to verify your identity or for fraud prevention purposes. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. But if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products or access certain services, offers, and content on our website.
Information Provided by Third Parties
When you use a credit card on this Site, we may use a third party to process your credit card. The third party will inform us whether your credit card has been accepted so that we can complete your transaction. We do not keep your credit card information on file.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We use “cookies,” and similar technologies, such as Web Beacons (also referred to as “GIF files,” “pixels,” or “action tags”), to collect Personal Information and support the functionality of this Site. For more information about our use of cookies and Web Beacons, see below.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are; tailor our products and services to suit your personal interests; estimate our audience size; and process your order, track your status in our promotions, contests, and sweepstakes, and/or analyze your visiting patterns. Using cookies permits us to provide you with a more personalized shopping experience and, in some cases, may save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database.
You can generally set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. You may also delete our cookies as soon as you leave our Site. Although you are not required to accept our cookies, if you set your browser to reject cookies, you will not be able to use all of the features and functionality of this Site. For example, you may not be able to purchase products and services on this Site.
Web Beacons help us recognize a unique cookie on your browser. We use this tool to compile aggregate information about you, and it is not personally identifiable. This information includes IP addresses, search terms, domain names, and browser types. We use this information to track usage and other patterns on our website. We may share this aggregate information with our Marketing Partners or Service Providers.
Using Information About You
We use the Personal Information you provide for internal purposes such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription, or registration; analyzing trends and statistics; informing you of our new products, services, and offers; and providing you with information from and about Baudville Brands.
From time to time we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities which we believe to be trustworthy and which we have asked to confirm that their privacy policies are consistent with ours. These are known as our Marketing Partners. In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including personally identifiable information about you, to enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you. We only share the information we believe is appropriate to enable the Marketing Partners to carry out their responsibilities under our contracts, and we require that the information be used only for the specifically authorized purpose and that its confidentiality be maintained.
To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online or through our catalogs. We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from or cross-reference with our Marketing Partners. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes.
We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain services including credit card processing, shipping, data management, promotional services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services. We also ask our Service Providers to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours.
Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against persons or entities which may be causing injury to you, to Baudville Brands, or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it.
Email Privacy
We use your email address to provide you with better customer support and to update you on Baudville Brands events, promotions, and products. You are able to remove your email address from these email communications at any time, for any reason.
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. You have the choice to be excluded from our offers and promotions and to be excluded from sharing Personal Information with our Marketing Partners and/or our Service Partners. If you choose not to receive information from us or from our Marketing Partners, please let us know by calling us at 1-888-919-7600 or by sending us an email at service@BaudvilleBrands.com. Please be sure to include your email address, full name, and specifically what information you do not want to receive, such as “no phone offers,” “no mail offers,” “no email offers,” or “no sharing of information with partners.”
We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable time, but please note that sometimes these requests may take up to 6–8 weeks to be effective, particularly if we are removing your name from postal mailings. In addition, when you purchase from us online or through our catalogs, we may need to contact you via phone, email, or mail to address questions specific to your order, even if you have opted to not receive communications.

Our website is not aimed to attract children, and its objective is not to collect Personal Information from children. Anyone under the age of 18 should not use this Site unless supervised by an adult. Our goal is to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to collection and use of information from children, including the Children’s On-line Privacy Protection Act of the United States.

Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any Personal Information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the web.

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your Personal Information. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
