This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use this website or other online services we provide (collectively, the “Platform”), our practices regarding collection of your personal information, and how we will treat it.  

Information We May Collect About You and How We Collect It

We may collect several types of personally identifiable information from and about you including the following:

• Full name

Collectively, the information described above and any other personally identifying information we may collect from you shall be referred to as “personal information.” We may collect personal information:

• Directly from you if and when you provide it to us, including through the contact page on the Platform and when you sign up for updates about products and events; and
• Automatically as you navigate through our Platform through cookies and other automatic forms of data collection. Personal information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses and other information collected through automatic processes.

We ask that you do not send us or disclose any sensitive personal information on or through the Platform or otherwise. Such sensitive information includes racial or ethnic origin, religion or other beliefs, political opinions, health, criminal background or trade union membership. 

Information We Collect through Automatic Data Collection Technologies

As you navigate through and interact with the Platform, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:

California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings or signals. We do not currently take actions to respond to “Do Not Track” signals. It is our view that a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We may adopt a standard once one is created. 

Information We Collect from Third Party Sources

We may also collect information about you from publicly and commercially available sources, as permitted by law, which we may combine with other information we receive from or about you.

Marketing

We may use your personal information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, etc. ourselves or by using our third party subcontractors for the purpose of providing you with promotional materials concerning our goods or services, which we believe may interest you.

California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) provides certain consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. Currently, we do not constitute a “business” as defined and covered by the CCPA. Should that determination change at any time, we will update this Privacy Policy, accordingly.

Age Requirement

You must not provide us with your personal information if you are under the age of 21. We do not intend to collect personal information from, or market alcoholic beverages to, any individuals under the age of 21. If we receive notice or believe that someone under the age of 21 has provided us with personal information, we will make every reasonable effort to remove such personal information from our records, or to flag such personal information and (to the extent permitted by law) retain it for the sole purpose of ensuring that it is no longer used.

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy, especially in an online environment. The Platform is not designed for or directed at children. Under no circumstances shall we allow use of our Platform or services by minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information, he or she should contact us at admin@thebadstuff.com.

Data Security

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we implement reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Platform, or thereafter. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your computer or mobile device. Be sure to sign-off when finished using a shared computer or mobile device and use other reasonable measures to secure your sensitive information.

We may provide (and permit other parties to provide) links to other websites or resources. Because you acknowledge and agree that we have no control of such websites and resources, we are not responsible for the availability of such websites or resources, and we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such websites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such website or resource.

Third Party Collection of Information

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent you disclose your information to other parties or websites throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Accordingly, we encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party that you choose to disclose information to. 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including any of the third parties which we may disclose information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. 

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to ensure that we give users the best experience on our Platform. We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Platform or access our services.

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assign to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are very helpful and can be used for various different purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and our Platform quicker and easier. Cookies are also used to help ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to you and your interests and to compile statistical data on your use of our Platform. 

The Platform uses the following types of cookies:

• “Session cookies” which are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed; 
• “Persistent cookies” which are read only by the Platform, saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits, for example to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in; and
• “Third party cookies” which are set by other online services who run content on the page you are viewing, for example by third party analytics companies who monitor and analyze our web access.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Platform, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Platform and services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Platform is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
