We may provide marketing or advertising to you in a variety of ways, including through our Site, via email, via SMS (text) message (provided you have expressly opted in to receive text communications from us) or on other third-party websites (e.g., using Google Customer Match or Facebook Ads).

    How we share your information

    WTF may share your information, including Personal Information and/or Content, with the following types of third parties:

    • Service providers. WTF may share your information with third-party service providers, vendors, agents, contractors or others who perform functions on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to process your orders, deliver packages or send mail. We enter into written agreements with these third-party service providers requiring them to provide the same level of protection for your Personal Information as provided under this Policy and limiting their use of your Personal Information to the specified services provided on our behalf.

    • Corporate affiliates. WTF may share your information with any current or future WTF parent company, affiliate or subsidiary.

    • Certain other unaffiliated third parties. Subject to applicable laws, WTF may share your information directly with certain third party organizations with which WTF has entered into contractual relationships and that make WTF products available to you, including so they may send you marketing offers directly. For example, we may share your information with (i) fundraising organizations that launch campaigns to raise funds by selling WTF products, and (ii) sponsors of online stores that sell WTF products to their users (e.g., employees of a company-sponsored online store). The information that we share with such third parties may include, without limitation, your email address, billing address, shipping address and order information (e.g., total price). Your information will be protected in accordance with the privacy policies of those organizations.

    WTF may also share your information, including Personal Information and/or Content, in the following cases:

    • Protecting rights and interests. WTF may share your information with law enforcement agencies and others as we deem appropriate to investigate, protect or defend the rights, safety or property of WTF, our customers or the public; to investigate or enforce perceived violations of our User Agreement or this Policy; as evidence in litigation in which we are involved; and for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes.

    • Sale or acquisition of assets. WTF may share your information if we become involved in a transaction involving the sale of our assets, such as a merger or acquisition, if we are transferred to another company, in the event of a bankruptcy, or as part of any other business transfer. If the surviving entity in such a transaction is not WTF, the surviving entity may use your information pursuant to its own privacy policies, which may be different from this Policy.

    • Legal compliance. WTF may share your information to comply with laws, regulations, legal process (e.g., a warrant or subpoena) or guidance; and to respond to governmental requests (e.g., requests from a regulator).

    • Aggregate or anonymous information. WTF may share anonymized or aggregated information about WTF users to third parties without restriction. For example, we may share anonymized or aggregated information to inform a third party’s decision on whether to place advertisements on our Site or on other websites. These companies may use such information about your visits to the Site and other websites to provide advertisements on the Site and other websites.

    If you opt in to receiving SMS (text) messages from us, we will not share your opt-in with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with our services relating to those text messages. We may share your Personal Information, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our text messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

    Cookies and other tracking mechanisms

    We may automatically collect information about you through the use of common online information-gathering tools, as well as new tracking technologies that develop as technology evolves. The tools that we or our service providers may use to collect information about you include the following:

    • Cookies. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser to help the website remember and customize your visit. For example, we use cookies to help us to tailor our Site to you, remember your orders, keep you logged into your account, and compile statistics about Site usage. With most Internet browsers or other software, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block or disable cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, functionality of the Site may be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of many of the Site’s features (e.g., you may not be able to stay logged into your account).

    • Web beacons/clear GIFs. Clear graphics interchange format images (“GIFs”) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails. We or our service providers may use clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) in connection with our Site to track the activities of visitors to our Site, help us manage content and compile statistics about usage of our Site. We or our service providers may also use clear GIFs in emails to our users, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed and track whether our emails are forwarded.

    Do not track disclosure

    Our Site does not respond to do not track signals (e.g., the Mozilla Firefox Do Not Track feature), though you may be able to disable certain tracking as discussed above (e.g., by disabling cookies). There is still no universally accepted standard regarding tracking. For more information about do not track signals, please click here.

    Online advertising

    We use third-party marketing or advertising companies (e.g., Google Customer Match) to serve advertisements on our Site and on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). These third parties use technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking), which allows targeting advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Advertisements may be targeted to you based on the pages you view on our Site or on third-party websites, as well as other information that they may have about you. These third parties may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including Personal Information, about you, as permitted under our agreements with such third parties.

    Your choices

    • Account information. If you ever wish to access your Personal Information, update your Personal Information or cancel your account, please submit a request. Please note that we may maintain copies of your information and Content even after you have updated the information or canceled your account.

    • Communications from WTF. We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you, about WTF and other third-party information and offers. In the event you do not wish to receive such emails from WTF, you may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained within the body of any email message you receive or by requesting that you no longer receive communications from us. It may take us up to ten (10) business days to process your opt out request. Even if you have opted out of receiving marketing and promotional emails from us, we may still send you transactional emails, such as emails about your account or the services you have requested from us. We may also send you marketing or promotional SMS (text) messages, but only if you have expressly opted in to receive such communications. You may opt out of receiving text messages from us at any time. To opt out, please follow the instructions provided in the text message (e.g., replying with “STOP”). Upon receipt of your opt-out request, we will promptly remove your mobile number from our marketing text message list.

    • Communications from Third Parties. You may also opt out of our sharing your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes on a going forward basis by filling out a request. Please note that once we have shared your information with a third party, such information is subject to that third party’s privacy policies and practices.

    • Online advertising. Please see our Online advertising section above for more information about your choices regarding online interest-based advertising.

    International transfers

    Our Site is maintained in the United States. The information we collect from you through our services may be transferred to, and stored and processed in the United States and other destinations outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or other country in which you are located. This includes processing by us, our affiliates, our third party service companies and other third parties as described in this Policy. You explicitly consent and agree to such transfer, storing and/or processing of your Personal Information outside the EEA or other country in which you are located. You understand that data stored in the United States may be subject to lawful requests by the courts or law enforcement authorities in the United States. The United States may not have data protection laws that are as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence; however, our collection, storage and use of your Personal Information will at all times be in accordance with this Policy.

    External links

    Our Site may contain links to other websites. Your use of an external website is subject to and governed by the terms and policies of that website. WTF is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every website they visit.

    Security

    We have implemented technical and organizational measures, appropriate to the risk, to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and unauthorized disclosure or access. For example, we limit internal access to our servers and have physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards in place that are designed to protect your information. However, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted through our Site. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any such information, and you provide such information at your own risk.

    You can also take steps to help protect your information. For example, if you have an account with us, you should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your account by, among other things, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping your log-in and password private.

    Data retention

    We retain your Personal Information, if provided by you through our Site, for as long as your inquiry is active (as determined by us) and for a reasonable time thereafter, or if applicable, for as long as you remain on our marketing list. We also may retain your Personal Information for a longer period of time on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing our Services to you or as necessary to comply with our tax and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your Personal Information, we may continue to retain and use aggregated or anonymous data previously collected so that it can no longer be used for personal identification and/or anonymize or aggregate your Personal Information. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.

    Changes to this Policy

    This Policy was last updated as of the “Last Modified” date above. WTF may modify this Policy at any time and will post any updates to our Site. We therefore encourage you to review this page frequently for any changes.
