We also use this information to trace false orders.
Our Site utilizes two common technologies called cookies and clear GIFs to collect information about how our Site is used.
A cookie is a small data text file that is stored on your computer’s hard drive to help websites identify you as a customer. A cookie cannot retrieve data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture personal information from your computer. We use cookies to let us know that you are a prior customer, and most importantly, to store information on your product selections as you shop on our site. We do not store Personally Identifiable Information in cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most also allow you to prevent the use of cookies. Should you disable this feature, certain aspects of our Site, such as the shopping basket, will not function properly.
Clear GIFs (also known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons or action tags) are used to help us measure the effectiveness of our website, advertisements, and HTML-based emails. Clear GIFs allow us to better manage content on our Site by informing us of what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our users. Clear GIFs are not tied to your Personally Identifiable Information.
Except as otherwise stated in this Statement, we do not sell, trade or rent your Personally Identifiable Information collected on our Site to others without your permission. The information collected by our Site is used to process orders, to keep you informed about your order status, to notify you of products or special offers that may be of interest to you, and for statistical purposes for improving our Site. We may share data with our parent company and its subsidiaries, however, the use of this information would still be governed by the terms of this Statement. We may provide aggregated statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related Site information to third parties, but this information will not include Personally Identifiable Information. We may release Personally Identifiable Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms of Use, to protect the rights, property and safety of our customers and ourselves, or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that may be illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
We will disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties to fill your order, for tracking purposes, to deliver your order, to charge your credit card, and to deliver promotional emails to you from us. These third parties may not use your Personally Identifiable Information other than to provide the services requested by COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM. For example, we must release your credit card number to confirm payment, and release your mailing address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered.
From time to time we may disclose a limited amount of Personally Identifiable Information to direct marketing companies for trade or rental purposes. You may opt-in or opt-out to the distribution of such information to third parties by updating your preferences within the [My Account > Edit My Profile] area of our Site. A Successor to our business is not to be considered to be a third party for these purposes. It should be noted that these preferences default to “no” when you initially become a member.
We may allow a potential acquirer or merger partner to review our databases, although we would restrict their use and disclosure of this data during the diligence phase. In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM (a “Successor”), one of the assets which would be transferred is the information we collect from our customers and members. However, the use of this information by any Successor would still be governed by the terms of this Statement, as amended from time to time, including any amendment after such transaction, and you will continue to have the right to opt-out of sharing your information with third parties.
RECIPIENT REQUESTS: From time to time we are contacted by gift recipients who ask us who the sender was. If we receive a request from a recipient asking who sent the gift we will give the name on the gift message accompanying the delivery. If there is no gift message filled out or if there is no name on the gift message we may ask permission from the sender via email. If we receive approval to disclose the sender’s name from the sender via email or in writing, we will then inform the recipient. If the sender does not reply via email or in writing or if the sender denies permission, then we will not reveal the sender’s identity to the recipient.
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW: From time to time, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
