Privacy Policy
This notice describes 23Monkeys.com's privacy policy. By visiting 23Monkeys.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. 1. What Information About Customers Does 23Monkeys.com Gather? The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at 23Monkeys.com. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you. Please see below for the types of information we gather. We receive and store any information you enter on the 23Monkeys.com website (the "Site") or give us in any other way. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the following: information that you provide when you search, buy, or communicate with customer service, such as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; and information about people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers; content of reviews and e-mails to us; personal descriptions and photographs; and financial information. We also collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; purchase history, which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from the Site, including date and time; cookie number; products you viewed or searched for; and the phone number you used to call our offices. We may also use browser data such as cookies or similar data on certain parts of our Site for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. We also collect information from other sources, such as updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or other services. We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses 23Monkeys.com. 2. What About Cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. 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. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of 23Monkeys.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any 23Monkeys.com products and services that require you to Sign in. 3. Does 23Monkeys.com Share the Information It Receives? Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries 23Monkeys.com, Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice. Please note, however, that we do not control affiliated businesses. We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at 23Monkeys.com or sell offerings to you at 23Monkeys.com. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party. We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that 23Monkeys.com or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets. We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Online Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of 23Monkeys.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice. Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information. 4. What About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites? Our site may include third-party advertising and links to other websites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party websites. These third-party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices. 23Monkeys.com may also display targeted advertising based on personal information about users. Although in such event, 23Monkeys.com would not provide any personal information to advertisers, advertisers (including ad-serving companies) might assume that users who interact with or click on a targeted advertisement meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad (for example, users in the northwestern United States who like classical music). 5. What Choices Do I Have? You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such 23Monkeys.com features. You can add or update certain information about yourself. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your communications preference. If you do not want to receive legal notices from us, those notices will still govern your use of 23Monkeys.com, and it is your responsibility to review them online for changes. 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. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of 23Monkeys.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any 23Monkeys.com products and services that require you to Sign in. 6. Are Children Allowed to Use 23Monkeys.com? 23Monkeys.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use 23Monkeys.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. 7. Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions. If you choose to visit 23Monkeys.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Online Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, resolution of disputes, and application of the law of the state of California. If you have any concern about privacy at 23Monkeys.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Online Terms of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers. |
