Michael Worldwide LLC Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.boxbugz.com (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you stop by our website, our systems automatically gather some details about your device. This includes things like the type of web browser you're using, your IP address, the time zone you're in, and any cookies set up on your device. As you navigate around our website, we also collect data on which web pages or products catch your eye, which other websites or search terms led you here, and your general interactions with our site. We call all of this the "Device Information."
Here's how we collect this Device Information:
-
"Cookies" are small bits of data stored on your device or computer, often carrying a unique anonymous ID. To learn more about cookies and how to disable them, you can visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
-
"Log files" help us monitor activity on our site, tracking data such as your IP address, browser type, your internet service provider, the page that led you to us/where you exit to, and when you visited.
-
"Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are digital files we use to log details about your browsing habits on our site.
If you place an order or attempt to do so through our site, we collect some additional details. This includes your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment details (like your credit card number), email address, and phone number. We call this the "Order Information."
In this Privacy Policy, when we mention "Personal Information," we're referring to both your Device Information and Order Information.
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use the Order Information gathered to manage and fulfill any orders you place through our website. This involves processing your payment details, arranging the delivery, and sending you invoices or order confirmations. We also use this information to communicate with you, check our orders for any signs of potential risk or fraud, and to send you information or advertisements about our products or services, provided it aligns with your preferences.
As for the Device Information we collect, it helps us identify possible risk and fraud (particularly looking at your IP address) and generally to enhance our website. For instance, we might use it to gather analytics on how our customers use and engage with our site or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising efforts.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do share your Personal Information with certain third parties so they can help us use this information in the ways we've outlined above. For example, our online store is powered by Bigcommerce, and you can learn more about how they use your Personal Information at their privacy policy page: https://www.bigcommerce.com/privacy/.
We also rely on Google Analytics to better understand how our customers use our site. If you're interested in how Google uses your Personal Information, you can find out more at their privacy policy page: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. If you'd prefer to opt out of Google Analytics, you can do so here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Finally, we may share your Personal Information when it's necessary to comply with the law or legal processes like subpoenas or search warrants, or when it's required to protect our rights.
Behavioral advertising
As mentioned earlier, we use your Personal Information to send you targeted ads or marketing messages that we think you might be interested in. If you want to know more about how targeted advertising works, you can check out the Network Advertising Initiative's (NAI) informative page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
