California Privacy Rights. Under California law, California residents who have provided personally identifiable information to a company may have the right to request a list of all third parties to whom that company had disclosed such information for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, along with a list of the categories of Personal Information that had been so disclosed. However, S.W. Basics’ policy, as disclosed on this Website, does not currently permit S.W. Basics to share the Personal Information collected at this Website about you with non-affiliated third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Moreover, even if S.W. Basics’ policy permitted the disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes, because S.W. Basics provides you with an opportunity to opt out of such disclosure, S.W. Basics does not have to provide you with such lists. If you are a California resident who would like information on how to exercise your rights concerning third party disclosures, you may send an email to

“Personal Information” is information that uniquely identifies you, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number.

At times, S.W. Basics may collect your Personal Information. For example, we collect your Personal Information if you create an account or send us an email, and provide us with your name, address, telephone number and/or email address. If you are purchasing goods at our website, you may be asked to provide certain financial information, such as credit card information to our payment processers (which will be used solely for your purchase and not be retained). We may also collect your Personal Information if you post, display and/or publish content on the Website. Additionally, if you enter any password-protected area of this Website, then this Website will recognize who you are and will collect the information that you submit. Any information collected about you from this Website may be associated with other information that SW Basics has collected about you.

REMEMBER to exercise discretion and caution when posting Personal Information to this Website – it will not be held confidentially, and it may be publicly viewable. With respect to all communications you make to or through the Website, including but not limited to feedback, questions, comments, suggestions and the like: (i) you shall have no right to confidentiality in your communications and S.W. Basics shall have no obligation to protect your communications from disclosure; (ii) S.W. Basics shall be free to reproduce, use, publish, display, disclose and distribute your communications to others without limitation, in any way now known or hereafter devised; and (iii) S.W.

This financial data is not retained after your transaction has been completed.

 

IP Address

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your internet service provider when you log on. Your IP address is not linked to your Personal Information but S.W. Basics does reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify individuals who threaten the Website or other users of visitors. IP addresses may also be used to help diagnose problems with the Website and to gather broad demographic information.

Opting in and opting out of electronic communications

At certain points where Personal Information is collected on our site, there may be a box to indicate that you wish to receive certain information or communications from S.W. Basics. You may opt out of receiving electronic communications, such as emails from S.W. Basics at any time. In all of our electronic communications you will be given the opportunity to opt out of receiving future communications.   You may also opt-out or change your preferences by sending an email to our Privacy Officer at privacy@swbasicsofbk.com

providing the contact information we are using to communicate with you, such as your email address. Be sure to let us know the specific types of communications you no longer wish to receive.

Do Not Track Signals. Certain web browsers provide users with an option by which you may have your browser send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites that you are visiting, advising the recipient websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. However, the way browsers communicate such “Do Not Track” signals is not yet uniform and, accordingly, our Website does not take any action in response to such signals. In the event a final standard is developed and accepted, we may reassess how we should respond to such signals. 

Use of Your Personal Information by S.W. Basics-Affiliated Entities. In order to provide you with efficient and reliable services and to improve product and service options available to you, S.W. Basics may share your Personal Information with our affiliated entities, which are entities controlled or owned by us, or entities that own or control us, or are under common control with us, whereby your personal information will be collected, used, disclosed, managed and stored in accordance with this policy.

Our Service Providers. From time to time, we may engage third parties to assist us with certain functions and services, such as product sales and/or fulfillment services, data processing, computer software and website maintenance and development, transaction processing, promotional and marketing services, customer service, professional, legal or accounting services and/or business and sales analysis. S.W. Basics may share your Personal Information, without restriction (and regardless of whether you have chosen to limit our sharing of your Personal Information as collected on the Website), with such companies that we hire to perform services for us. In such situations, S.W. Basics requires that these companies agree to maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information and to comply with the safeguards described in this Privacy Policy. These companies have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes. Furthermore, in compliance with privacy laws, we also provide our opt-out lists to non-affiliated third party companies so that they can be suppressed from the communications those companies send on SW Basics’ behalf.

Third Parties. Upon receipt of your consent, we may also share your information with other third parties, to allow such entities to provide you with marketing offers and/or other information. If you consent to receive communications from such third parties, you will need to communicate directly with them in the future if you wish to no longer receive communications from them.

If S.W. Basics Changes Ownership or Transfers Assets. We may also share your Personal Information in connection with a change, merger, reorganization or restructuring of Sprout a Revolution, Inc. and/or any of S.W. Basics’ affiliated entities, and/or in connection with the sale of any of the assets or business(es) of S.W. Basics, and your Personal Information may be one of the assets that is being transferred in connection with any activity and/or transaction described above.

Lawful access, legal action and investigations. Your Personal Information may be disclosed to non-affiliated third parties as either permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations. Your Personal Information may be transmitted through and stored on servers outside your home country, and may be accessed by authorities in those jurisdictions. We may disclose Personal Information if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms and Conditions of Use, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. For example, S.W. Basics may disclose your Personal Information to comply with investigations by regulatory authorities or enforcement agencies in the United States of America or elsewhere, or to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud. Furthermore, S.W. Basics may disclose your Personal Information if it has a reasonable good faith basis to believe that it is required to do so by law, compelled by court order or legal process, or is reasonably necessary and/or appropriate to protect the rights, property and/or safety of S.W. Basics or any other person or entity.
