respects your privacy. We will never rent or sell your personal information to
any third party for marketing purposes.
But we do need to use some of your information for other purposes,
and we created this Privacy Policy to make sure you?re aware of what
information we use and to help you understand how and why we use this
information. We also want to be clear that by using this website you are
consenting to our collection, storage and use of your information as set out in
this Privacy Policy.
We may need to update our Privacy Policy from time to time to
reflect our changing business practices. We will publish any modified or
updated versions on our website.
To provide you with the gerrbm service we need certain
personal information. We need you to provide a username and email address for
us to give you access to some parts of our website. You may also choose to
provide additional personal information, including as part of your public
profile or journal, such as your full name, age and date of birth, location or
biography. Depending on the services you use, we may also need you to provide other
personal information, such as your contact details, billing and payment
information, tax status, and physical shipping address. We also collect the
content and details of messages you send or receive via our BubbleMail service.
As a practice, we do not ask you to provide us with certain
sensitive personal information ? that is, information about your race,
ethnicity, politics, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences,
health, or similar information. If you share or post this information, for
example by mentioning it on your public profile or journal, or including it in
the artistic works you upload, we will collect it in the sense that this
information will be saved on our servers and may become stored in our
databases. We will treat this sensitive information carefully, in the same way
we treat all personal information we collect.
We primarily collect information through our website, including
through sign-up forms, surveys and transaction databases. We occasionally
collect information in person during research sessions. We also collect
information when you contact us, including through email or our Facebook page,
and through search advertisements.
When you choose to connect your social media account to your
profile, we collect personal information from that social media website. For
example, when you connect your Facebook account, we may collect the personal
information you have made publicly available in Facebook, such as your name,
profile picture, cover photo, username, gender, friend networks, age range,
locale, friend list, and any other information you have made public. We may
also obtain other non-public information from the social network website with
your permission.
We generally collect and use your personal information for the
purposes for which it was collected, like your username and email address to
provide access to certain functions on our website, your banking and payment
information to process orders and payments, and information about your use of gerrbm
to improve our website and for internal business purposes.
We may use some of your personal information for market research
and marketing activities. We may send you promotional messages and useful
information about gerrbm, and these messages may be personalized based on
your use of gerrbm and other personal information you have provided to
us. For example, we may let you know about interesting new designs based on
your purchase history.
You can always opt out from receiving these types of messages in
your account settings or via the unsubscribe link in marketing emails. You may
still receive administrative messages from us.
We may share your personal information with third party service
providers, including manufacturers and printers, shipping and logistics
companies, banks and payment processing companies, email and web service
providers, data storage providers and market research firms.
We disclose personal information to service providers located in
the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. As we ship into over 100
countries, we may disclose personal information to our shipping partners and
service providers in other countries as well.
We may share information with governmental agencies or other
companies assisting us to prevent or investigate illegal activity. If we
believe in good faith that it is necessary to do so, we may also share
information to respond to legal process (e.g., a court order or subpoena) to
protect our property and legal rights and those of our users or if otherwise
required by law. We may also disclose or otherwise transfer personal
information to an acquirer, successor, or assignee of all or part of our
business, including as a part of any merger, acquisition, sale, or bankruptcy.
While we take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, no
security system is impenetrable and, due to the inherent nature of the
Internet, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the
Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise, will be absolutely safe
from unauthorized access by others. Your payments are handled over an encrypted
connection or via a secure third party processor. Access to personal
information on our databases is restricted to authorized staff. As appropriate,
we require our service providers with access to personal information to sign
agreements that require them to take steps to protect the information.
If you require help with using the gerrbm service, our
support team may ask you to confirm some of your private information, such as
your name, delivery address, or other relevant identifying information. gerrbm
will never email you directly and ask for these details unless you have
requested help or support.
