An IP address is a number that automatically identifies the computer or device you use to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the web pages that you want to visit, and it may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. We track and aggregate certain information about the visits to our website to analyze trends and statistics such as general traffic flow and feature usage related to Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear's Services.

A cookie is data sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored directly on your computer hard drive. An advertising identifier is an anonymous, resettable ID associated with your mobile device that can be managed in your device settings. Cookies and similar technologies within a web browser allow us to collect and store data as you navigate our website. We use this information for various purposes, including to facilitate web page navigation, display information more effectively, personalize your online experience, to understand how our website is used by users, market our products and services, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and for security purposes.

For example, to use our shopping cart feature, you must have cookies enabled. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please see our Cookie Policy.

Where we use Google Analytics, we have set up the service to anonymize your IP address as soon as data is received by the Analytics Collection Network, before any storage or processing takes place.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet or e-mail is not completely secure.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
 
We share your Personal Information with, or obtain data from, third parties in the following ways:

By You: You may disclose Personal Information when you post, link or tag digital content to our website, third party websites, or other public forums, such as Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear's social media pages, blogs, and online product reviews. Any information that you disclose through these services will become public.

Third Party Service Providers: We share your information with third party service providers who we work with or who manage our customer information and perform services on our behalf, such as hosting our e-commerce platform, processing online payments, providing, and maintaining website features, and sending communications and products to our customers. Our third-party service providers are only authorized to collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow the third-party service providers to perform the services they provide to us. Certain third-party service providers, such as HostPapa and Paypal, have their own terms of use and privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to share with them in order to provide us with their services. For these third-party service providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Social Sharing: Your Personal Information may be disclosed in connection with your social sharing activity, such as if you log into your customer account from your social media account. By connecting your customer account and your social media account, you authorize us to share information with your social media account provider, and you understand that the use of the information we share will be governed by the social media site's privacy policy.

Legal Requirements: We may share information about you if necessary or appropriate to comply with laws or regulations or in response to a valid subpoena, court order, legal processes, or government request, or to protect the operations, privacy, safety, property or rights of Color Image Apparel, Inc or others, or when we believe it is necessary to share such information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law or to protect the public.

Other Disclosures: We may share your Personal Information with our legal, regulatory, audit, and other professional advisors. Those companies may use your Personal Information to assist us in our operations consistent with our legitimate business interests. We also may share information about you as described at the point of collection or otherwise pursuant to your consent or where Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear has a legitimate interest in doing so.
 
These third parties do not have any independent right to share your Personal Information. We will exercise reasonable measures to have the third parties to whom we disclose your Personal Information respect your Personal Information and comply with applicable data protection laws.
 
HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
 
We will store your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, whether that is to provide services to you, for our own legitimate interests (described above), or so that we can comply with the law. We reserve the right to retain it to the full extent not prohibited by law. We may delete Personal Information in our discretion, so you should retain your own records, and not rely upon our storage of any Personal Information, content, or other data.
 
We will review the information we hold and when there no longer is a user, legal, or business need for us to hold it, we will either delete it securely or in some cases irreversibly anonymize it. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from our active databases but may remain in our archives.
 
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
 
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and facilitate the correct use of Personal Information obtained through our website, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical, and operational measures to safeguard and secure the Personal Information we collect online against unauthorized access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption, or destruction.
 
We also use operational measures to protect your Personal Information, for example by limiting the number of people who have access to your membership information. Access to Personal Information is restricted to Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear staff members and third-party service providers who require the access for specific purposes, such as helping us provide the Services to you.
 
We use technical measures such as password protection to protect your data and the systems where they are stored. However, messages you send to us through the Internet or otherwise electronically may not be secure. We recommend that you do not send any confidential information to us by email. If you choose to send confidential information to us, you accept the risk that a third party may intercept this information. We make reasonable efforts to keep your information safe and secure while shopping. We protect your online order and Personal Information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Generally, the data that travels between your computer and our servers is SSL encrypted, and then stored on a computer that is not connected to the Web. To make sure you are accessing a secure server, look at the lower left or right hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. An un-broken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) indicates that SSL is active in your window. Some versions of browsers and firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you'll be unable to connect to the server, so you won't have to worry about mistakenly placing an order through an unsecured connection.
 
LOCATION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION / YOUR PARTICULAR CONSENT
 
You are giving us the following particular express, voluntary, and informed consent to a few activities relating to your Personal Information that is disclosed in providing goods and services to you, or for a purpose directly related to such purpose:
 
Consent to International Transfer and Disclosure of Personal Information: Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear is located in the United States ("U.S.") and is subject to the applicable laws of the United States (where data privacy laws are less stringent than in the European Union and certain other jurisdictions). We will store and process information we receive about you, as described in this Privacy Policy, in the U.S.
 
We are involved in business activities in a variety of countries. For example, our e-commerce store is hosted on HostPapa, a Canadian company. HostPapa provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you. Your data is stored through HostPapa's data storage, databases and the general HostPapa application. Accordingly, HostPapa may transmit your personal information outside of the country, state, or province in which you are located.
 
You agree that Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear and those with whom we share your Personal Information ("Recipients") may disclose, transfer, process, and store your Personal Information outside of your country of origin to our affiliates, sponsors and partners, and any other third-party service providers for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
 
Some of the recipients of Personal Information as specified above may be located in countries that do not provide a level of data protection equivalent to that set forth by the European Union and some other jurisdictions. If you submit any Personal Information or choose to access or use the Services offered by Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear such as our website, you consent to such disclosure, transfer, process, and storage of information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and subject to such applicable laws which may include access by law enforcement and other government entities including courts and tribunals. If we do transfer Personal Information outside the U.S., we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it were being used in the U.S. We will use one of the following legally recognized safeguards to protect your information:
  • Transfer the data to a non-EEA country that has privacy laws at least as protective as those within the EEA, or
  • Put in place a contract with the recipient of the data, which means the recipient must protect the data to the same standards as required within the EEA, or
  • Transfer it to organizations that are part of the Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is a framework that sets out the standards for data to be sent between the United States and European countries. The Privacy Shield ensures that data are protected to the same standards as used within the EEA.
Consent to Electronic Notice If There is a Security Breach: We will take reasonable measures to safeguard your Personal Information and prevent such information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. However, there can never be a guarantee of data security. If we or a Recipient is required to provide notice of unauthorized access to or other invasion of certain security systems, you agree that we (or they) may do so when required (or voluntarily) by posting notice on our website or sending notice to any email address we have for you, in our (or their) good faith discretion. You agree that notice to you will count as notice to others for whom you are acting and agree to pass the notice on to them.
 
YOUR OPT-OUT CHOICES
 
If you do not want Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear to send you email or postal mail regarding Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear or its Services, you can choose not to provide your Personal Information to Sacred Heart School Spirit Wear, even though it might be necessary to make a purchase or to take advantage of certain features on our Services. You may also manage, update and correct the information you provide as part of your online account by logging into your user account and clicking on the "Settings" hyperlink. If you choose not to give us certain Personal Information, you can still use many aspects of our website. However, you will not be able to access website areas that require account registration.
