Welcome to www.mcphee.com. Accoutrements LLC d/b/a Archie McPhee (“Archie McPhee”, “we”, or “us”) recognizes that privacy is important and is committed to maintaining the privacy of personal information collected at this website. Unless you have opted out of receiving direct marketing contacts (as described below), when you provide any of the information described in this Privacy Notice, including information that may be automatically generated, you consent to the use and disclosure of that information as described by this statement. You can navigate portions of the website without giving us any personally identifiable data. At times, we need additional information about you in order to provide you with information or products that you want to receive from us. Together with our Privacy Commitment, this Privacy Notice describes the personal information that we collect and the uses that we will make of that personal information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information in multiple ways, including when you provide information directly to us and when we automatically collect information from or about you, such as from your browser or device. We may combine information collected from or about you from these various sources and use it for all the purposes described below.

Information You Provide Directly to Us. We may collect information that you provide when you use our services or otherwise communicate with us, such as during the following interactions:

• When you create an account on the website.

• When you register for communications (including to receive emails) or other subscriptions through this website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or any other digital media, or social media application.
• When you make a request or inquiry, contact customer support, or provide feedback. 
• When you participate in a contest, promotion, sweepstakes, survey, or other promotional or marketing event.

We may combine personal information that we collect about you with personal information you provide to us through other sources, such as product registrations, inquiries, or marketing events. We will use the combined personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice for as long as it is combined.

Information We Collect Automatically. As you navigate through and interact with our website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

• Details of your visits to our website, including the date and time, the individual webpages or products that you view, the websites or search terms that referred you to our website, how you interact with our website, log files, and other communication data.
• Information about your device and Internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, browser type, and Internet service provider.
• General information about the location of the device from which you are accessing the website (for example, approximate geographic location inferred from an IP address).

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.
• Log Files. A log file tracks actions occurring on the website and collects data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring and exit pages, and date and time stamps.
• Web Beacons. Pages of our website and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that are designed to provide usage information like ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of a website and associated advertising, access user cookies, and retargeting. We and our service providers may also include web beacons in email messages, newsletters, and other electronic communications to determine whether the message has been opened and for other analytics, personalization, and advertising. As we and our service providers adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

Information We Collect from Third-Party Sources. Some content or applications on the website are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information, and these third parties may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. 

In the course of serving advertisements to this website, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. For more information about this practice, and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please visit the National Advertising Initiative’s consumer opt-out page [optout.networkadvertising.org]. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. 

We may receive information about you from other sources, including data vendors, data co-ops, marketing partners, and anti-fraud services. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you to use for all the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

We may analyze aggregated demographic information and personal information for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes, or we may store the personal information for your convenience should you return to this website in the future.

• In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
• For any other purpose with your consent.

How We Share and Disclose Your Information. In the course of any of these activities, we may transmit any of the information we have collected with affiliates or third parties. We may disclose your information to companies and individuals we employ to perform business functions on our behalf. An example of a third party that could receive your personal information is a data processing contractor that operates computer systems on our behalf or a company with whom we transact business with for the purposes of aggregating and analyzing demographic information or offering certain products, services, contests, sweepstakes, or promotional events.

By using this website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice. By agreeing to these terms, you are consenting to our continued use of previously collected information under the terms of this Privacy Notice.

We may disclose aggregated information about our customers, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction. We may disclose personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this Privacy Notice:

• To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
• To contractors, 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.
• To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Archie McPhee’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Archie McPhee about our website users is among the assets transferred.
• To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you give us an email address to use the “email a friend” feature of our website, we will transmit the contents of that email and your email address to the recipients.
• For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
• With your consent.

We may also disclose your personal information:

• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
• To enforce or apply our Terms of Service [mcphee.com/policies/terms-of-service], Refund Policy [mcphee.com/policies/refund-policy], and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.
• If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Archie McPhee, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Aggregated or De-Identified Information. We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the website in such a way that we cannot reasonably link information to you or your device. For example, we may use the information to calculate the percentage of Archie McPhee customers who have a particular telephone area code or who use an Android device or an iOS device. Because this type of information cannot be reasonably linked to you, we may use and disclose this information for any purpose.

Online Advertising and Direct Marketing. We may use all information collected at this website for direct marketing and e-marketing purposes, including the sharing of the information with our affiliates or third parties, unless you specifically request that it not be used for those purposes.

Links to Other Sites. For your convenience, our website may contain certain hyperlinks to other websites as well as to third-party websites. This Privacy Notice applies only to information collected on this website and not to information collected on linked sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave this website and to read the privacy statements of any linked site that collects your personal information.

Children’s Information. We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities. We do not target our website to children less than 13 years of age or knowingly collect information from children for the purpose of selling products or services.

Do Not Track. We may use data collection technologies to obtain information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites (behavioral tracking). Our systems do not recognize do-not-track signals, but several of the third-party companies who use cookies or beacons on our website enable you to opt out of certain behavioral advertising. You can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal, available at optout.aboutads.info. Additionally, you can opt out of targeted advertising on Facebook via facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings. For more information about behavioral tracking, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative. We also provide you with additional tools to opt out of marketing from us or certain transfers of your information. You can learn about this in the “Opt Out” section of this Privacy Notice.

Retention Period. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide requested services to you.
• 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).
• Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).

Information Security. We use commercially reasonable methods consistent with industry practice to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we consider these policies and procedures to be adequate, there is still a risk that your personal information could be misappropriated. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. If you have any questions about security on our site, you can send an email to us at mcphee@mcphee.com.

Changes to this Privacy Notice. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Notice at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this notice, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

Opt Out. If you do not want us to use your personal information as described in this statement, please contact us at mcphee@mcphee.com. Please note that we will not be able to process questions or contact you without your personal information. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may opt out by following the “unsubscribe” or by sending us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to Archie McPhee as a result of a product purchase or other order-related transactions.
