Information collected by cookies
We use cookies on the Website, and web analytics services and social media plug-ins to enhance your User experience. A cookie is a small text file on your computer which a website sends to your computer to allow the website to store information which uniquely identifies their users. Our cookies do not collect or store personally identifiable information. Rather, the cookie stores a token which uniquely identifies a particular User at a particular time.
That token is then linked to the User information in secured databases. You can always reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to display a message when a cookie is being sent. If you reset your browser, some of the Website features and functionality may not be available to you.
For more detailed information, we invite you to thoroughly review our Cookie Policy.
Information collected by web beacons and log files
We also collect certain non-personally identifiable information through the use of web beacons and log files. Such information may include your IP address, browser type, Website usage, and whether you opened emails you received from us.
How we secure your information
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and use commercially reasonable and generally-accepted technological safeguards to secure any information we collect about you, to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misappropriated, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. The Secure Server Software (SSL) we use encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. In addition, your User account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You should always take steps to protect the confidentiality of the password you select.
We operate internationally, so our computer systems may be based overseas. As a result, your personal data may be processed in a location where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same high level of protection as in other parts of the world, however, we use our reasonable best efforts to grant the same protection standards as regulated in the European Union.
How do we share or disclose your information
Generally, we may only share your personal information with other subsidiaries or partner companies of the NETENDERS Group, and our trusted service providers and partners that carry out activities for us and give us support in the delivery of the information, and we do so with appropriate safeguards to ensure the security of your data.
Sometimes, in order to fulfill the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy, it is necessary for us to give access to your personal data to third parties that provide us with support in the services that we offer you, which may in certain cases act as joint controllers, namely:
- financial institutions;
- fraud detection and prevention entities;
- technology and analytics service providers;
- providers and partners of logistics, transport and delivery services or their associated establishments;
- providers of customer service-related services; and
- providers and partners of marketing and advertising related services, such as advertising agencies, advertising partners or social networks.
In such cases, we require that these third parties agree to use the information solely for the purpose for which we provided it to them and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
For example, if you sign up for a promotional offer or enroll in a service we offer in partnership with a third party, we may provide information (such as your name, email address, and account activity) to such third parties.
If you agree to this Privacy Policy, you expressly consent the international transfer of all the information you provide to us.
Due to service efficiencies, some of these service providers are located in territories that do not provide a high level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. In such cases, we inform you that we transfer your data with appropriate safeguards and always maintain the security of your data, as we use the most appropriate tools for international data transfer, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or any other relevant supplementary measures.
In this regard, special mention should be made of the new decision on the adequacy of the data privacy framework between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) adopted by the European Commission on 10 July 2023. This decision allows the free and secure transfer of personal data from the EU to US companies and entities, ensuring an adequate level of protection comparable to that in the EU. With this measure, personal data can flow from the European Economic Area to US entities participating in the Privacy Framework, without the need for additional measures and with security guarantees.
You have the right not to be subject to an individualized decision based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling.
In the event that we are acquired by, or merged with, or sell or transfer all or part of our business or assets to, another company belonging or not to the NETENDERS Group, or carry out any other business activity as a result of a corporate reorganization, we may disclose your personal data to the potential recipient of the business or assets. In the event of such a sale or transfer, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the recipient treats the personal information you have provided to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In this case, we believe we have a legitimate interest based on the reorganization of our corporate structure.
We may also release information when we, in our sole discretion, believe that such release is necessary or appropriate to:
- comply with law, government regulations, or Courts decisions;
- comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders, government investigations, or other legal process;
- enforce or apply the terms of any of our user or license agreements;
- investigate or respond to allegations of fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other unlawful activity;
- investigate fraud or similar claims; and
- protect our or our Users’ rights, property, or safety.
For example, if your transaction is processed through a payment gateway located in the United States, information belonging to you that was used to complete the transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States law, including the Patriot Act.
Likewise, we may disclose non-personally identifiable information to third parties in aggregate form to potential business partners and investors.
About children’s Privacy
Children under the age of fourteen (14) are only allowed to upload graphics and images and to order products with their parent's consent. To order products, the child must indicate his or her age, submit his or her name and his or her mailing address and shipping address if different from the mailing address together with a valid credit card number. This is the only information collected from a child.
This information is used to fulfill the requested order; confirm shipment; complete record keeping including royalty entitlements and pay royalty fees, if any, and to advise the child concerning our new products, services, or policies.
Parents of children under the age of fourteen (14) have the option to consent to the collection of this information from their children or not. Such consent will not be used as consent for the dissemination of any of this information and the information will not be released to third parties without the parents' consent except as may be required by law, governmental regulations, or upon Court order.
Personal information is kept confidential and is disclosed only with the consent of the User or as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We do not condition a child's participation in any on-line activity on the granting of any unnecessary information beyond that actually needed in connection with that activity.
Parents can review any information we have received from a child and the parent can have that information deleted and the parent can forbid the collection of additional information from their child. If you want to review any information obtained from your child or if you want to have any information obtained from your child deleted from our records or to forbid any use of such information, you may send a request by phone, email, or letter to the contact information detailed in our Legal Notice.
