Protecting Your Privacy

Calplates.com LLC. (“Calplates” or “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Statement (the “Statement”) applies to all of the channels in the United States by which Calplates collects, uses and/or shares your information, including online channels (e.g., Calplates.com website, mobile applications, and social media pages, collectively referred to as the “Website”). This Statement describes the information we collect and how we use and disclose it. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your consent to the terms of this Statement and any updates. This Statement is incorporated into, and is subject to, the Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions or this Statement, please do not use the Calplates.com website.

Information We Collect and Store

Except as disclosed below, we don’t sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any third party outside of Calplates.com. One of the basic principles we endeavor to follow is to limit the information we collect from and share about you. This section describes how we may collect information through both online and offline channels.

Personal Information

We collect and store personal information that you provide to us, through the Website and in communications with our Customer Service Department. We combine the information we receive from or about you through any of these channels and use and disclose it in accordance with this Statement. In general, you can use and visit our Website without submitting any personal information; however, in order to utilize and access specific features, you will be asked to submit your personal information. Personal information means information that may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate an individual and may include, but is not limited to, your full name, email, billing address, shipping address, and telephone number. We may also infer your general location based on your device’s IP Address, which we use to personalize content provided to you on the Website and in emails we send to you. For example, when you open an account or place an order, we may collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: your full name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and telephone number. When you choose to log-in and connect your social media account, such as Facebook, to your Website account, we collect public information about you from that social media website and non-public information (such as your email address) with your permission. We collect your physical address, email address and telephone number if you become a member. When you make payments through the Website, you will need to provide financial account information, such as your credit card number, to our third-party service providers. We do not collect or store such information, though we will receive information about completed transactions that does not include credit card numbers.

Non-Personal Usage Information

We may also gather certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of our Website (“Usage Information”). Generally, this information is collected through “traffic data.” We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with our Website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit our Website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze and improve our Website, provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience, and personalize the Website, our communications with you, and your shopping experience. Use Cookies and Similar Technology, Advertising, and Online Tracking Like many websites, we and our third-party partners, such as advertising networks, social media widgets, and analytics providers, use “cookies” – files stored on a computer’s hard drive by a browser, and other similar technology to provide, monitor, and customize the Website and its usage and our email communications to you. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when you leave the Website without checking out and to send you email communications about your activity on the Website, shopping orders, and other shopping opportunities. For example, we may send you emails to remind you about unpurchased items in your shopping cart or to notify you that an item in your shopping cart has changed in price, and we can determine whether the messages were opened. Our partners also may collect and combine information about your online activities over time, on other devices, and on other websites or apps, if those websites and apps also use the same partners. Our partners may use the information to tailor advertisements shown to you for goods and services on the Website, on other websites and apps, and in email communications. We do not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to this Statement. For example, we use Google Analytics and Google AdWords, among other analytics and online advertising tools, on the Website to collect Usage Information, to analyze how users use the Website and to provide advertisements to you on the Website and on other websites. For more information about how to opt out of having your information used by Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. You may be able to opt out of receiving personalized advertisements on this browser or device from advertisers, or other advertising networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative or who subscribe to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt-out options of each of those organizations. Links to those sites are here: • Network Advertising Initiative: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ • Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ When you opt out of personalized advertising, you may continue to see online advertising on the Site and/or our ads on other websites and online services. We recommend that you leave cookies “turned on” so that we can offer you a better shopping and Website experience. Most browsers have options that allow you to choose which cookies may be placed on your device, alert you when cookies are being sent, and to delete or disable cookies. Please note though that setting a browser to reject cookies may limit your experience on the Website. The Website does not respond to browser do-not-track signals.
