Privacy policy

Thank you for visiting Tact Gearz (the "Site") The privacy of users of Tact Gearz (the "Site") is of great importance to us at Tact Gearz. This notice describes our information collection and use practices for the Site, and highlights the choices you can make about the way we use and share that information. Please read and understand this policy so that you can understand how we use your personal information. Please note that if you use the Site, register in any way in connection with the Site, or participate in any survey, contest, sweepstakes, or other promotion available on the Site, you agree to both the terms of our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use set forth elsewhere on the Site, each of which is in effect from time to time. Please also note that we reserve the right, at our discretion, to make changes to this policy at any time, and all such changes will be effective immediately. Please check this page periodically for changes. Our privacy policies and information collection and use practices in connection with the Site may differ from related policies and practices in connection with our offline activities such as our stores and offline marketing activities.

INFORMATION COLLECTION
On the Site, you may be able to purchase merchandise, participate in our community features such as discussion forums or bulletin boards, become a registered user, maintain a "wish list" or store other information on the Site, enter sweepstakes and contests, participate in polls and surveys, e-mail or instant message, subscribe to a service, or register to receive certain entertainment or information. We may need or request certain types of personally identifiable information (i.e., information that can directly identify you or indicate where you might be contacted, such as name, address, age, date of birth, gender, grade level, fax number, and credit card information) and collect it in connection with these various activities and offerings. We do not consider indications of your interests, likes and dislikes, or general characteristics such as clothing size or hair color, to be personally identifiable information unless they are aggregated in some way with other information to specifically identify you; but from time to time we do collect such information in order to provide you with better service or to learn about our user base and its general characteristics.
The personal information you provide is considered an asset of the company and may be included in our transferred assets and the assets of any or all of our subsidiaries or affiliates if any of their assets are acquired by a third party.

USE OF INFORMATION
We use personally identifiable information for various purposes. For example, we may use the information you provide to process your purchases of goods or to arrange for delivery of goods to your home. As a registered user, you provide us with information that we maintain and reference as part of our efforts to provide you with a better and more personalized service. We may also use online registries or other databases to enable you to use and participate in certain parts or features of our site. We also use information provided by users to conduct sweepstakes and contests, notify you if you win, and award prizes or awards. In addition, unless you tell us not to, we like to provide you with certain information about our products, sales or other offers, and other marketing materials designed to help you use our site and visit our stores with more information. We also use this information to make our online marketing and other communications with you more effective. Similarly, we may use personally identifiable information in connection with some of our activities with our partners, such as marketing efforts, co-sponsorships and other initiatives. We also collect such information as reasonably necessary to track/verify compliance with federal, state and local laws or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.

We may from time to time augment the information you provide with information from other sources, such as information validating your address. Thus, information we obtain through the site may be mixed and used in conjunction with information obtained from sources other than the site, including offline and online sources. We sometimes share personal information provided to us with third parties. For example, there may be third party service providers to our operations or business with whom we have an agreement for services that transmit, store, analyze or otherwise use such information in the course of their services to us. We also occasionally share information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties in the aggregate, not as individuals. For example, we will say that Tact Gearz's visitors are x percent female and x percent male.
We may offer email services, contests, sweepstakes or promotions that are sponsored by or co-sponsored with non-affiliated companies. Based on our agreement with them, these third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that site visitors voluntarily submit to enter the contest, sweepstakes or promotion. We have no control over how these companies use this information.
UNSUBSCRIBE
We strive to ensure that your preferences are respected. Therefore, you can tell us if you do not want us to share your personal information with third parties (other than in connection with the administration of the Site or use over which we have no control, as described above) and we will do our best to respect that. In any case, when you receive emails or other communications from us, our partners, you should have the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving such communications, and we encourage you to exercise these rights if you feel it is appropriate. Note that if you have registered or provided information at different times for different purposes, you may need to unsubscribe multiple times. If you do not wish to respond to an email you receive or would like an easier way to opt-out of receiving emails from us, you can simply tell us what you want by contacting:

SECURITY
We are committed to treating your personal information with high standards of information security.
