This Privacy Policy applies solely to the Site and the Services. It does not apply to any other site, product or service of DankShirtsStore or customers.

By accessing or using the Site, you are deemed to accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you may not access or otherwise use the Site or Services. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy from time to time and such changes shall be posted on the Site. We encourage you to periodically review the Site for the latest information on our privacy practices.

We may also aggregate information collected from our users (such as the number of users in a particular region or having particular characteristics).

The information we collect about you or you provide to us will be used to provide you with the Services and any other services associated with them.

In addition, we may use your personal information:

We will only share your personal information as described below, unless you have specifically consented to another type of use, either at the time the personal information is collected from you or through some other form of consent from you.

We may disclose your personal information:

• To service providers and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING

We may directly or through a third party vendor use non-personally identifiable information in connection with our own or our vendors’ information to display or deliver targeted advertising to you on our Site and to manage our advertising on other sites. Cookies, clickstream data, web beacons and other similar technologies may be used to collect information in order to provide personalized advertising. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendors may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “interest based advertising,” is based on anonymous information and not on any personal information. As a result, we and our vendors know your interests, but do not personally identify you in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. However, if you would like to opt-out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described below under “Interest Based Advertising Opt-Out.”

COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy describes how DankShirtsStore uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, customize, evaluate, improve, promote and protect our Services.

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services. We use cookies on the website and associated domains of www.dankshirtsstore.co.uk for the following purposes:

Authentication, Customization, Security and Other Functional Cookies. Cookies help us verify your Account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access the Services and provide the appropriate experiences and features. We also use cookies to help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and to remember choices you’ve made on the Services, such as your language preference.

Performance And Analytics. Cookies help us analyze how the Services are being accessed and used, and enable us to track performance of the Services. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or opened an email. This helps us provide you with information that you find interesting.

Third Parties. Third Party Services may use cookies to help us improve and evaluate our Services. Any such third party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie.

We operate on an Opt-in basis meaning that if you ignore the 'Cookie Banner' then you can still freely use the website without accepting any non-essential cookies.

Our website is hosted with SQUARESPACE, as such any Cookies we collect from you are also subject to their Cookie Policy.

CLICKSTREAM DATA

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of device and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Site. We may collect and use clickstream data to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on websites, how visitors navigate throughout websites and how we may tailor our Site to better meet consumer needs. This information will be used to improve our Site and our Services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous, and will not intentionally contain any personal data.

SECURITY

We have implemented technical and organizational measures, appropriate to the risk, to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and unauthorized disclosure or access. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information provided online.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal information, if provided by you through the Site, for as long as your inquiry is active (as determined by us) and for a reasonable time thereafter, or if applicable, for as long as you remain on our marketing list. We also may retain your personal information for a longer period of time on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing our Services to you or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your personal information, we may continue to retain and use aggregated or anonymous data previously collected so that it can no longer be used for personal identification and/or anonymize or aggregate your personal information. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.

OTHER SITES

As a convenience to you, we may provide links to third party websites from within the Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third party sites, and by providing a link we are not endorsing or promoting such third party sites. When you link away from our Site, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to read the policies and terms of every website you visit.

SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICES

The Site may integrate with social networking services. You understand that we do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Site, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third party services to operate properly and fairly.

You should be aware that personal information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, social network or otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to control such uses of your personal information, and by using such services you assume the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

Our Site is designed for those 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13. If we are made aware that we have received such information, or any information in violation of this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to locate and remove that information from our records. In the case of residents of the European Union, we do not collect information from anyone under the age of 16 except with parental consent, subject to an EU member state providing by law for a lower age (not below 13 years).

COMMUNICATIONS WITH REPRESENT

By providing your email address to us, you expressly consent to receive emails from us. We may use email to communicate with you, to send information that you have requested or to send information about other services provided by us, provided that, we will not give your email address to another party to promote their products or services directly to you except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

OPT-OUT PROCESS

If you do not want your personal information shared with any third party who may use such information for direct marketing purposes, then send an email to www.dankshirtsstore.co.uk stating that you want to opt-out of such disclosures. However, we are not responsible for removing your personal information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided with your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you receive a promotional email from us, you may unsubscribe from promotional emails through a link, typically at the bottom of the email.

As noted above, you may opt-out of or restrict the placement of cookies on your device or remove them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on many mobile devices. However, on many mobile devices, application users may opt out of certain mobile ads via their device settings.

INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING OPT-OUT

We may, and may work with third parties, to use non-personal information to deliver targeted advertisements to you based upon your online activities and other information. The online advertising industry provides a service through which you may opt-out of receiving targeted ads from certain data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. We comply with the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising set forth by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). You can opt-out of targeted advertising from certain providers at www.aboutads.info/consumers.

Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. To be clear, whether you are using our opt-out or an online industry opt-out, these cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. You must separately opt out on each device.
