I. OUR COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect personal information in a variety of ways. For example, you may provide us with your personal information when you make a purchase, list an item for sale, send us messages, subscribe to our mailing lists, newsletters or other forms of marketing communications, or use some other feature of our Services.

We may link or combine information collected from you on our Sites and Apps with information we have collected from you offline (e.g., in-person), information we receive from third parties, as well as information we collect automatically through tracking technologies (defined below). This allows us to, for example, provide you with a personalized experience regardless of how you interact with us.

The personal information we collect, the way we collect it, and how we use it will depend on how you are interacting with us and the type of services you use.

Personal Information Collected from You

Personal Information from Third Parties

We may also combine the information we receive from you with personal information we obtain from third parties. We may receive the same categories of personal information as described above from the following third parties:

Personal Information Collected at Our In-Person Locations

When you visit one of our in-person locations, we may collect the following information from or about you:

Personal Information Automatically Collected

As is true of many digital properties, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect certain information from or in connection with your device when visiting or interacting with our Services, as described in the list below:

For more information about these practices and your choices regarding cookies, please see the Cookie Policy located at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Additional Uses of Personal Information

In addition to the uses described above, we may use the personal information collected as described above for the following purposes:

Where you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to inquiries. We may provide you with additional privacy-related information where the scope of the inquiry or request and/or personal information we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. In that case, the additional privacy-related information will govern how we may process the information provided at that time.

Through the provision of our Services, we may process deidentified information that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular consumer or household. We will maintain and use such information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except in instances where necessary for determining whether the deidentification process used satisfies the requirements under applicable law.

We may also aggregate data for reporting, analytics, and other business reasons, including to promote or describe the use of our Services.

 

II. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

As part of our Services, we may also share, transmit, disclose, grant access to, make available, and provide personal information with and to third parties, as follows:

 

III. CONTROL OVER YOUR INFORMATION

You may control your information in the following ways:

 

IV. DATA RETENTION

We will usually store the personal information we collect about you for no longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and applicable law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.

To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other applicable obligations.

For example, if you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or the State of California, your personal information may be subject to certain laws and regulations that define the criteria used to determine the period for which personal information about you will be retained, which varies depending on the legal basis under which we process the personal information:

When an individual discontinues the use of our Services, we will retain their personal information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as, for any additional purpose based on the choices they have made, such as to receive marketing communications. We will retain personal information supplied when joining our Services, including complaints, claims and any other personal information supplied during the duration of an individual’s contract with us for the Services until the statutory limitation periods have expired, when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Once retention of the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal information or, if this is not possible (e.g., because personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

 

V. CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our Services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 16. If an individual is under the age of 16, they should not use our Services or otherwise provide us with any personal information either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 16 has provided personal information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal information from our systems. If we learn that any personal information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 16, we will promptly delete that personal information.

 

VI. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES OR SERVICES

Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Except where we post, link to or expressly adopt or refer to this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, any personal information practices of third-party websites and online services or the practices of other third parties. To learn about the personal information practices of third parties, please visit their respective privacy policies.

 

VII. UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will change the date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify individuals by email to their registered email address, by prominent posting on our Services, or through other appropriate communication channels. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided.

We may choose or be required by law to provide different or additional information relating to the processing of personal information about residents of certain countries, regions or states. Please refer below for additional information that may be applicable to you:

 

ADDITIONAL U.S. STATE PRIVACY DISCLOSURES

Last updated: November 6, 2023

For residents of the States of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Utah and Virginia: These Additional U.S. State Privacy Disclosures (“U.S. Disclosures”) supplement the information contained in our Privacy Policy by providing additional information about our personal information processing practices relating to individual residents of these states. For a detailed description of how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information in connection with our Services, please see our Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms defined in our Privacy Policy retain the same meaning in these U.S. Disclosures.

For the purposes of these U.S. Disclosures, personal information does not include publicly available information or deidentified, aggregated or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your state of residency, you may be able to exercise the following rights in relation to the personal information about you that we have collected (subject to certain limitations at law):

Depending on your state of residency, you may also have the right to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights. However, the exercise of the rights described above may result in a different price, rate or quality level of product or service where that difference is reasonably related to the impact the right has on our relationship or is otherwise permitted by law.

How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights

To submit a request to exercise one of the privacy rights identified above, please submit a request:

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require us to request additional personal information from you or require you to log in to your account, if you have one. Note that we may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity or process your request, although you will not be required to create an account with us to submit a request or have it fulfilled. At a minimum, we may ask you for your name, email address, and telephone number. We will use the personal information you provide us in connection with your exercise of the above rights only to review and comply with your request.

In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems. If we are unable to comply with all or a portion of your request, we will explain the reasons for declining to comply with the request.

Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales or Sharing for Targeted Advertising

We do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term (i.e., we do not share your information in exchange for money), but certain uses may be deemed the “sale” of personal information under applicable privacy laws. Unless you have exercised your Right to Opt-Out, we may disclose or “sell” your personal information to third parties for non-monetary consideration, or “share” your personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The third parties to whom we sell or share personal information may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their own privacy policies.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Right to Opt-Out. However, we may ask you to provide additional personal information so that we can properly identify you to track compliance with your opt-out request. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. If you choose not to provide this information, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our data systems.

To exercise the Right to Opt-Out, you may submit a request by:

Authorized Agents

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent (as that term is defined by the applicable privacy law) to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth in these U.S. Disclosures where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.

For requests to know, delete, or correct personal information, we require the following for verification purposes: (a) a power of attorney valid under the laws of the state where you reside from you or your authorized agent; or (b) sufficient evidence to show that you have: (i) provided the authorized agent signed permission to act on your behalf; and (ii) verified your own identity directly with us pursuant to the instructions set forth in these U.S. Disclosures; or directly confirmed with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf.

For requests to opt-out of personal information “sales” or “sharing”, we require a signed permission demonstrating your authorized agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Appealing Privacy Rights Decisions

Depending on your state of residency, you may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. All appeal requests should be submitted by emailing [email protected] or mailing a letter to us at the following address: GOAT Group, Attn: GOAT Group CCPA, P.O. Box 91258, Los Angeles, CA 90009-1258.

California-Specific Disclosures

The following disclosures only apply to residents of the State of California.

In the last 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of sensitive personal information: account log-in in combination with a password allowing access to an account, as well as social security number, government ID, and biometric information (i.e., facial geometry). We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose other than for performing services you have requested, for detecting security incidents, fraud and other illegal actions, complying with applicable laws, regulations or other legal obligations, or for short term transient use. We collect and process sensitive information without the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer, and we do not sell sensitive information or process or otherwise share sensitive personal information for the purpose of targeted advertising.

For more information about our collection of personal information, the sources of personal information, and how we use this information, please see the Our Collection and Use of Personal Information section of our Privacy Policy.

In addition, please see our Cookie Policy located at the end of this Privacy Policy to learn more about how third-party advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party businesses collect and disclose your personal information directly from your browser or device through cookies or tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our Sites, use our Apps or otherwise engage with us.

Minors. We do not sell the personal information and do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of minors under the age of 16. Please contact us at [email protected] to inform us if you, or your minor child, are under the age of 16.

If you are under the age of 18 and you want to delete your account, please contact us directly at [email protected]. We may not be able to modify or delete your information in all circumstances.

If you wish to submit a privacy request on behalf of your minor child in accordance with applicable jurisdictional laws, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify your child is the person about whom we collected personal information and you are authorized to submit the request on your child’s behalf (i.e., you are the child’s legal guardian or authorized representative).

“Shine the Light”. The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the way we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To opt out of this type of sharing, please email us at [email protected].

Financial Incentives. We may provide financial incentives to consumers who allow us to collect and retain personal information, such as identifiers (e.g., name and email address) and commercial information (e.g., purchase history). These incentives may result in differences in our prices or services offered to consumers and may include a lower price for goods and services (e.g., discounts and other promotions). For example, the financial incentives we may provide include discounts or promo codes for certain existing customers. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms or in the details of the incentive offer.

Please note that participating in any financial incentive program is entirely optional and participants may withdraw from the program at any time. To opt out of the program and forgo any ongoing incentives, please follow the instructions in the program’s terms and conditions or contact us using the contact information referenced in the Contact Us section of the Privacy Policy.

Each financial incentive or price or service difference related to the collection and use of personal information is based upon our reasonable, good faith determination of the estimated value of such information to our business, taking into consideration the value of the offer itself and the anticipated revenue generation that may be realized by rewarding brand loyalty and/or repeat purchases.

We have certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. We have certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, we commit to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal data. EU, UK and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF should first contact us using the details referenced in the Contact Us section of the Privacy Policy.

See DPF Annex 1 here.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, we commit to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS), an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit here for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

Onward transfers to third parties

In the event that we disclose your personal data to third parties to perform certain business-related services on our behalf as “agents” (as such term is utilized under the DPF), we will do so only for limited and specified purposes consistent with any notice provided to you or your choices regarding processing and disclosure. These companies perform services at our instruction and pursuant to contracts which require they provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required under the DPF and notify us if they are no longer able to provide such protections, at which point we will take reasonable remedial steps. We may also disclose personal data to our affiliates in order to support marketing, sale, and delivery of any services, or other business operations as disclosed in the Disclosure of Personal Information section of the Privacy Policy and Annex 1 to the Additional Privacy Disclosures for EEA, UK and Swiss Users.

Our accountability for personal data that we receive under the DPF and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the DPF Principles. In particular, we remain responsible and liable under the DPF Principles if third-party agents that we engage to process the personal data on our behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Option to limit certain onward transfers to third parties

You have the opportunity to opt out of sharing of your personal data with third parties other than our agents or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. To limit the use and disclosure of your personal data under the DPF, please submit a written request using the details referenced in the Contact Us section of the Privacy Policy, indicating as such.

We will not disclose your sensitive personal data to any third party without first obtaining your opt-in consent.

In each instance, please allow us a reasonable amount of time to process your response.

Your DPF rights

Upon request to us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data pursuant to the DPF and provide you with the data in a reasonable amount of time. You also have the right to correct, amend, or delete the personal data processed pursuant to the DPF where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of our privacy disclosures to you, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. We may require payment of a non-excessive fee to defray our expenses in this regard. Please allow us a reasonable amount of time to respond to your inquiries and requests.

Personal data retention

We will retain the personal data processed pursuant to the DPF in a form that identifies you pursuant to the retention policy described above. We may continue processing such personal data for longer periods, but only for the time and to the extent such processing reasonably serves the purposes of archiving in the public interest, journalism, literature and art, scientific or historical research and statistical analysis, and subject to the protection of our privacy disclosures. After such time periods have expired, we may either delete your personal data or retain it in a form such that it does not identify you personally.

How we protect your data

We will implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data.

If you wish to enquire further about these safeguards used, please contact us using the details referenced in the Contact Us section of the Privacy Policy.
