We encourage you to read this policy carefully. Below is a quick overview of our privacy practices.
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT DO WE COLLECT?
There are two types of information that we obtain from you online and then store and use:
- Non-personal information that's collected automatically from each visitor, such as your device operating system
- Personal information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is collected automatically
WHY DO WE USE IT?
We use non-personal information to administer our online and mobile resources, make them better, and to make business decisions about what programs our customers might like.
We use voluntarily provided personal information to respond to your inquiries and provide you with the services you have requested. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third party data vendors or marketing companies. As you might expect, we disclose your information when required by law.
WHEN DO WE SHARE IT?
We share personal information when needed to fulfill our legal obligations and when our vendors and business partners need it to perform under the contracts we have with them. We do not sell or rent any personal information to third party data brokers or marketing companies.
YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS
You do not have to provide personal information to enjoy most of the features of our online and mobile resources. Moreover, you can opt out of certain activities like newsletters and announcements. You may have certain additional rights depending upon the jurisdiction in which you reside, or in which your personal data was collected from, pursuant to the applicable data protection laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Buy Box Group LLC ("Buy Box Group," "us," "we," or "our") thanks you for visiting our online and mobile resources. We use the words "you" and "your" to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 13. This privacy policy informs you about the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and why, and what we do to protect it.
"Online and mobile resources" means the websites and other internet features we own that allow you to interact with our websites, as well as apps we've created and distributed to let our customers and followers view our online and mobile resources or otherwise interact with the content we provide.
WHO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM
We may collect personal information from the following groups:
- Visitors to, and users of, our online and mobile resources
- Our customers
- Current members of our workforce and those who apply for posted jobs
- Third party vendors and business partners
Personal information generally means information that can be used to identify you or that can be easily linked to you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, social security number and date of birth).
WHAT WE COLLECT
There are two types of information that we obtain from you online and then store and use:
- Non-personal information that's collected automatically from each visitor, such as your device operating system
- Personal information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is collected automatically
By using our online and mobile resources or purchasing our products or services, you are signifying to us that you agree with this section of our privacy policy and that we may use and disclose your information as described.
Voluntarily Submitted Information
If you participate in certain activities via our online and mobile resources, you may be asked to provide us with information about yourself. The types of personal information we collect in those situations includes identifiers (such as your name, email address, physical address, and phone number), professional information (such as the business you are in), and financial account information (such as your credit card information). We do not sell, rent, or trade voluntarily submitted personal information with third parties.
If you don't want us to collect this type of personal information, please don't provide it. This means you shouldn't participate in the activities on our online and mobile resources that request or require it and you may want to communicate with us by phone or regular mail instead. Participation is strictly your choice. Not participating may limit your ability to take full advantage of the online and mobile resources, but it will not affect your ability to access certain information available to the general public on the online and mobile resources.
Some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information and how we use it:
- Emails and Online Forms – When you send us an email or fill out an online form, such as to contact us, your email address and any other personal information that may be in the content of your message or attached to it, are retained by us and used to respond back directly to you and to process your request. Depending on the personal information provided, communications from us may be in the form of emails, telephone calls, and/or text messages. We may also send you information about any of our products or services we think may be of interest to you.
- Registering for an Account – When you register for an account, you submit personal information to us such as your name and email address which we then retain. We use that information to create and manage your account and in some cases establish a password and profile to communicate with you via email.
- Registering for Events – When you register for events, conferences or programs we ourselves may host (rather than outsource to a third party event manager with its own privacy policies), you will be submitting identifiers like your name and contact information. If the event requires a fee, we may also ask you to submit credit card or other financial information. We use this information to register you for the event and send you communications regarding the event.
- Becoming a Customer – We use any information provided from our customers to perform our contractual obligations and provide the products and services purchased to them, to manage their accounts and communicate with them.
- Social Media and Community Features – Some of our online and mobile resources may offer social media-like community features letting users post messages and comments, and/or upload an image or other files and materials. If you choose to make use of these features, the information you post, including your screen name and any other personal information, will be in the public domain and not covered/protected by this policy.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our online and mobile resources, basic information is passively collected through your web browser via use of tracking technologies, such as a "cookie" which is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you access the online and mobile resources. It allows us to recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
We allow third party vendors to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time following your use of the site. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use the online and mobile resources and enhance your experience when you visit the online and mobile resources.
The internet activity information collected through cookies and other similar means includes such things as:
- The domain name and IP address from which you accessed our online and mobile resources
- The type of browser and operating system you use
- The date and time and length of your visit
- The specific page visited, graphics viewed and any documents downloaded
- The specific links to other sites you accessed from our online and mobile resources
- The specific links from other sites you used to access our online and mobile resources
Additionally, if you access our online and mobile resources from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us uniquely identifiable mobile device information which allows us to then collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information. Some mobile phone vendors also operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices and we may receive this information as well if location services are enabled on your device. If you do not want us to collect and use geolocation data, disable location services through your device settings.
We use both automatically collected information and mobile device information to compile generic reports about popular pages on our online and mobile resources, and to see how our customers and followers are accessing our online and mobile resources. We then use that data to administer the online and mobile resources and make them better, make your activities more convenient and efficient and to enhance the functionality of our online and mobile resources.
Data Retention
We use and retain your personal information in accordance with applicable law and as long as necessary to carry out the purposes described above in accordance with our internal data retention procedures.
External Sites, Apps, Links and Social Media
We maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms. We may further allow features of our online and mobile resources to connect with, or be viewable from, that external social media presence. Similarly, our online and mobile resources may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties.
We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use.
YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS
You can choose not to provide personal information, but some features of our online and mobile resources may not be available to you. You can opt out of certain activities like newsletters and announcements. Data subjects in certain locations, or whose personal data was obtained while they were in certain locations, may have additional rights pursuant to the applicable data protection laws.
If we are using personal information you provided to us in order to enable us to send you materials, such as newsletters or product alerts via text or email, and you decide you don't want to receive such materials, you may opt out by following the opt-out instructions in the email or other communication, or by contacting us using the contact information below. When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists. In addition to opting out, you have the ability to access, amend, and delete your personal information by contacting us using the contact information below.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
We take children's privacy seriously and do not intend for our online and mobile resources to be used by children under the age of 13 without first obtaining the verifiable consent of such child's parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 13. If we become aware that anyone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information without proper parental or legal guardian approval, we will delete that information. If you believe that someone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information to our online and mobile resources, please contact us at [email protected].
HOW DO WE PROTECT COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take reasonable security precautions to protect your personal information provided to our online and mobile resources. We have adopted a security program that includes technical, organizational, administrative, and other security measures. We cannot, however, guarantee that your information, whether during transmission or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be free from unauthorized access or that loss, misuse, destruction, or alteration will not occur.
U.S. STATE DATA PRIVACY LAWS
Residents of certain U.S. states have rights under state data privacy laws. When we collect personal information from residents of these states, we become subject to, and those residents have rights under, these laws.
For information about the categories of personal information we collect, the sources from which we collect it, the business purposes for collecting and sharing it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it, please contact us at [email protected].
THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION
For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Japan, we comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are located in these jurisdictions, you have rights including transparency, access, correction and deletion, portability, and restriction/objection.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact [email protected].
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
The English language version of this privacy policy is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.
We reserve the right to change or update this policy from time to time. Please check our online and mobile resources periodically for such changes since all information collected is subject to the policy in place at that time.
