Privacy Policy
General
​
This privacy policy describes the information ShopRemotion, Inc. collects about you and how it is shared or otherwise used, what rights and choices you have over your personal information and our use of it, and the measures that ShopRemotion takes to protect your information. This privacy policy applies to personal information collected by or on behalf of ShopRemotion, Inc. (“ShopRemotion”, “we”, “us”), including information collected through our websites and mobile versions of our websites (collectively, the “Site”); our mobile app; blogs; in our retail stores or by phone; and anywhere else where we display this privacy policy (collectively the “Platforms”). By using the Platforms, you accept and consent to the terms of our privacy policy in effect at the time of your visit.
​
Information We Collect and How We Collect It
​
Personal information is information that directly or indirectly identifies you or can be used to identify you as an individual. The following are the categories of personal information we collect about you and how we collect it:
​
Information You Provide
ShopRemotion collects personal information that you provide when you visit or use our Platforms such as registering an account with us on any Platform, making an online purchase, creating a registry or wish list, contacting customer service, or marking certain items as favorites. The personal information that we collect includes: contact information (such as your first and last name or initials, telephone number, postal and email addresses), demographic information (such as your gender and date of birth), and billing information (such as your billing address). We may also request information about local stores where you or your friends may shop, your shopping preferences, and similar information to help enhance and customize our services to you. You may also choose to provide information about your vehicle and its license plate number when using our curbside order fulfillment services as available through the Platforms.
You can choose not to provide personal information to us. However, some information about you is generally required to fulfill, track and bill your order or respond to your requests; participate in a survey, contest, or sweepstakes; ask us a question; set up a registry; or to take advantage of other services that ShopRemotion offers.
​
Information Collected Automatically. We may automatically collect personal information about you when you visit or use our Platforms. For example, we automatically collect your information when you open or respond to our emails, contact customer service or use support tools, visit any page that displays our ads or content, connect or link to any Platform via social networking sites, post comments to online communities or provide information to our service providers, including our advertising and business partners.
We may aggregate personal information that we automatically collect in connection with your use of our Platforms, such that the information no longer identifies you. We may use such aggregated information for our legitimate business purposes.
​
Information from Other Sources. If you connect with us or interact with us or our Platforms through third-party sites or applications such as social media platforms, the third party may send us your information such as your profile information from that platform. This includes when you log in using a third-party platform, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter. We may disclose information collected from third parties to customize ads and to manage and facilitate messaging to you on third-party platforms. We also may periodically obtain both personal and non-personal information about you from other sources, such as affiliated entities, advertising and business partners, data providers, and other third-party sources and add it to our information to better customize our offerings to you. Examples of information we may receive include: name, special event dates, purchase history, email address, demographic information, or device identifiers.
Browsing and Device Information. We automatically collect some information and data about your computer and mobile devices when you visit our Platforms. For example, we will collect your IP address, web browser software (e.g., Internet Explorer), and information about referring websites. We also may collect information about your online activity, such as merchandise viewed and purchases made, as well as general location data that helps ShopRemotion to tailor the version of the Platform that you see in order to enhance your shopping experience.
​​
Mobile Device Location Data
​
We and our service providers may collect the physical location of your mobile device (which may include specific longitude and latitude coordinates), only when you intentionally enable settings on your device that allow your device to share its location information and when your mobile device is in-use, to provide goods and services to you. For example, precise geolocation data from your intentionally activated device may allow us to determine when you are in or near a ShopRemotion store. Activating your device in this manner enables us to send you push notifications through our mobile app when you visit our stores, in order to provide information about your ShopRemotion Reward dollars as well as coupons, discounts, and other location-based offers to personalize your experience. You may also choose to allow us to know when you are en route or have arrived to pick up your ShopRemotion order from a ShopRemotion store, so we can have your order ready just as you arrive. Once you have picked up your order and/or the order has been completed or cancelled, your mobile device will stop sharing location information for this purpose. In summary, you can always directly manage how your device location is shared through the settings on your mobile device.
​

Your Choices
​
Opting Out of Cookies and Tracking Technologies. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new Cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new Cookie, or how to disable Cookies altogether. Please keep in mind that, without Cookies, you may not have access to certain features on our Platforms, including access to your profile or account and certain personalized content. Removing all Cookies from your computer could also affect your subsequent visits to certain Platforms, by requiring that, for example, you enter your login name when you return. Please note that not all tracking will stop even if you delete cookies.
Managing “Do Not Track” Signals. Some browsers have a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity via Cookies or other tracking technologies. Our Site does not currently respond to browser based DNT signals. For information regarding DNT and how to enable this setting, if available, on your devices please see https://allaboutdnt.com.
