SECURITY

Information transmitted over the Internet is not completely secure, but we do our best to protect your Personal Information. You can help protect your Personal Information and other information by keeping your password to our Websites confidential.

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization. All payment transactions are performed by our third-party payment processor, who must comply with appropriate industry standards to protect your payment information.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we take security measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in any manner set forth below in the “CONTACT INFORMATION” Section below.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. We have created the following mechanisms to provide you with control over your Personal Information.

We do not control the collection and use of your information collected by third parties described above in the “DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION” Section of this Privacy Policy. When possible, these organizations are under contractual obligations to use this data only for providing the services to us and to maintain this information strictly confidential. These third parties may, however, aggregate the information they collect with information from their other customers for their own purposes.

Correct or update your information. If you would like to request changes to Personal Information that you have previously provided to us to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible, please contact us by mail, email, or telephone using the “CONTACT INFORMATION” below. You can also review and change your Personal Information by signing into your account and visiting your "My Account" page. Please note that we may also not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect

Opt-out of email communications. If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out by using the opt-out mechanism contained in each such email. Please allow 10 days for the change to take effect. Please note that if you opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, from which you cannot opt-out.

Opt-out of text communications. You can opt-out of receiving further marketing text messages via the Messaging Service by responding to any of our text messages with any of the following replies: STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT. By signing up via text, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing text messages from GATHR Mobile Alerts at the cell number used when signing up. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Msg & data rates may apply. GATHR Mobile Alerts program is valid in the U.S. only.

Opt-out of physical mail communications. If you no longer want to receive physical mail or catalogs from us on a going-forward basis, please contact us by mail, email, or telephone using the "CONTACT INFORMATION" below.

Withdraw your consent and close your online account. To the extent that our processing of your Personal Information is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by closing your GATHR.com account and removing your name from our marketing lists. Withdrawing your consent will not, however, affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal, and will not affect the lawfulness of our continued processing that is based on any other lawful basis for processing your Personal Information. To exercise this option, please contact us by mail, email, or telephone using the "CONTACT INFORMATION" below.

Tracking Technologies and Advertising. Some content or applications, including advertisements, on our websites, are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, application providers, and social media sites. We may use "cookies", "web beacons" and other similar technologies to collect information in connection with our services and our advertisements. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by selecting "Cookie Settings" in the Privacy & Compliance section of the website footer. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly

You can learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on its website (www.networkadvertising.org) and from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance on its website (www.aboutads.info). We do not control third parties collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can also opt-out of receiving targeted ads from members of the NAI on its website.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

The law in certain US states may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information. To learn more about any additional state specific rights that may be applicable to you, please see the privacy addendum that is attached to this Privacy Policy.

If you are a resident of any country within the EEA or the UK, please visit the GATHR Privacy Policies for your respective jurisdictions, for more information on your privacy rights and how to exercise them.

RETENTION PERIOD

We retain your Personal Information for as long as you keep your account open. In some instances, we may keep it after you close your account, for example we may keep it:

on our backup and disaster recovery systems;
for as long as necessary to protect our legal interests; and
and to comply with other legal requirements.
We retain Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Services);
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or
Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

THIRD PARTY SERVICES

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by third party websites that may be accessible through the Services.

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the Services link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, use, disclosure, or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, or any other social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including with respect to any Personal Information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with our Social Media Pages.

AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

We generally do not use your Personal Information with any automated decision-making processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Our service providers may use techniques like machine learning (European law refers to this as “automated decision-making”) to help us improve our services. When our service provider uses such machine learning, it either: (1) still has a human being involved in the process (and so is not fully automated); or (2) uses machine learning in ways that do not have significant privacy implications, for example, reordering how apps might appear when you visit the online store (and so does not produce legal effects or similarly significant effects).

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

We may use automated data collection technologies to track you across websites. We currently do not honor do-not-track signals that may be sent by some browsers.

We also may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. Because there is no standard for these signals at this time, we currently do not honor such signals and we do not modify what information we collect or how we use that information based upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.

USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 16 and children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use our Services. We will remove any information about a child under the age of 16 if we become aware of it.

The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under 16. If you are under 16, do not register for Services, make any purchases through the Services or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received Personal Information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from a child under 16, please contact us through our website at http://GATHRoutdoors.com/contact-us-form or through email at privacy@GATHRoutdoors.com.

JURISDICTION AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER

We may process your Personal Information outside of your home country, including to or from the United States. When we transfer Personal Information outside of your home country, we provide appropriate safeguards to protect your Personal Information.

Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the Services you understand that your information will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may not or do not provide an equivalent level of protection for your Personal Information. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE EEA: Some non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available here). Your Personal Information is transferred by GATHR to another country as permitted under applicable data protection law and provided that there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Information. For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures to protect your Personal Information. You may obtain a copy of these measures by contacting us in accordance with the “CONTACT INFORMATION” Section of this Privacy Policy.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

We generally do not request you provide and do not process any special categories of Personal Information.

GATHR does not ask you to provide, and we do not knowingly collect, any special categories of Personal Information from you. Unless we request it, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.

THIRD PARTY PAYMENT SERVICE

We may disclose Personal Information to third-party payment processors. If you make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information is subject to the third party’s privacy policy.

We may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Services. If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information will be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information. Your Personal Information is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the payment processors’ privacy policies, which may be found at https://www.fisglobal.com/en/merchant-solutions-worldpay/worldpay-privacy-policy, https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy, and https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/en_de/privacy.

UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We will post any changes to our Privacy Policy on our Website. If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we may notify you of such changes through your contact information and invite you to review (and accept, if necessary) the changes.

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. The “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page with a notice that the Privacy Policy has been updated on the Website’s home page. If we materially reduce the protections we provide in this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes (e.g. by email to the email address specified in your account). Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Services. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and reviewing this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
