IF YOU SUBMIT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION RELATING TO ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED ANY NECESSARY CONSENT FROM THAT INDIVIDUAL FOR USE AND DISCLOSURE OF THAT INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE.
 
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE INDIRECTLY COLLECT
We indirectly collect Personal Information about you from several different sources. While we collect Personal Information from you directly, we can also use third-party sources of information in order to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. These indirect sources can include:

While we may collect Personal Information from all these sources, we will only use and disclose Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
 
Depending on the purpose, we may use various categories of information in order to achieve the results you and we expect. As such, we are unable to specifically call out which category of data will be used for which purpose as the context and circumstances may mandate we use Personal Information for multiple purposes. As such, we find it more useful to describe the purposes for which we and our service providers may use any Personal Information we have collected about you. To that end, we may use Personal Information about you:

OTHER INFORMATION

OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT

• Browser information
• Server log files
• Information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies
• Physical location of your device
• Demographic information and other non-personally identifiable information provided by you
• Aggregated information Sometimes Other Information is capable of being connected to you as a specific individual. If that is the case, then the information is not Other Information but is instead Personal Information and will have the same kinds of protections as type of Personal Information

 
HOW WE COLLECT OTHER INFORMATION

• Through your browser: Certain information is collected through most devices, such as your Media Access Control ('MAC') address, device manufacturer and model, device identifier, screen resolution and the type and version of your operating system and browser.
• Through server log files: An Internet Protocol ('IP') address is a number that is automatically assigned to a device by an Internet Service Provider ('ISP') and is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits the SDG Online Properties, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. We and our service providers use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems and administering the SDG Online Properties.
• Using cookies: Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a device for recordkeeping and other purposes. We and our service providers use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, enhance and personalize your online browsing and shopping experience and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the SDG Online Properties, as well as for online tracking purposes. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to decline the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. If you choose to decline cookies, some or all of the features, functionality and promotions available through the SDG Online Properties – such as the shopping cart, ability to view certain pages and even placing orders or reviewing your order history – may not be available to you.
• Analytics: We may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics or IBM Coremetrics, in connection with the SDG Online Properties. Such services use cookies and similar technologies to analyze how visitors use the SDG Online Properties, compile statistical reports on activity related to the SDG Online Properties, and provide other services related to the SDG Online Properties. Such services may also collect information about visitors’ use of other websites or other online resources. For more information about Google Analytics, including how to opt out, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information about IBM Coremetrics, you can review its privacy statement located at http://www.ibm.com/privacy/us/en/.
• Flash Local Stored Objects: We and our service providers may use a third-party technology, called Flash, in connection with the SDG Online Properties, including our online content. Flash provides a facility, referred to as Local Stored Objects ('LSO'), that allows a website operator or online content provider (or their service providers) to store certain information locally on an individual’s device; for example, Flash LSOs can be used to store information regarding an individual’s device. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your device, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash LSOs [referred to as 'information' on the Macromedia site], how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your device without you being asked, and [for Flash Player 8 and later] how to block Flash LSOs that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with the SDG Online Properties. We expect our service providers and technology suppliers to honor any decision by you to restrict or limit Flash LSOs, but we cannot guarantee that they will do so.
• Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) are small images that may be used by us and our service providers in connection with some pages of the SDG Online Properties and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, render such pages to you on various hardware devices and operating system versions, track the actions of users and email recipients, serve relevant marketing communications to you, measure the success of marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage and response rates. Pixel tags may collect information such as the pages, features and links accessed by a user, and the IP address, browser type and operating system of such user’s device.
• Physical location: We and our service providers may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized, location- based services and content, including for marketing purposes, based on the choices that have been made with respect to such uses. We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our third-party marketing partners, such as our Promotional Partners, to enable them to provide you with more personalized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, based on the choices that have been made with respect to such disclosures. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such uses and/or sharing, we, our service providers, and/or our third-party marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.
• From you: We and our service providers may collect demographic information such as your city, state or zip code of residence, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of communication, your gender and your date of birth, when you voluntarily provide this information to us or our service providers. You may also have the opportunity to provide us with information regarding major events such as weddings, child births and the purchase of a new home. We also maintain a record of your orders, purchases, exchanges, returns, wish lists and gift registries in connection with the SDG Online Properties or our businesses. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other customer or potential customer of our businesses.
• By aggregating information: We and our service providers may aggregate Personal Information collected from our customers and potential customers, for example by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of such individuals who have a particular telephone area code. Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other customer or potential customer of our businesses.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING OUR USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

• Our sharing of your Personal Information with Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties for their marketing or other commercial purposes: If you no longer want us to share your Personal Information on a going-forward basis with our Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties for their purposes, you may submit a request to opt-out of such sharing by using our online Opt-Out Privacy Request form, or by calling 844.910.1289 (toll-free). When calling us, please include your full name and the contact information that you no longer wish to be shared. Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information related to your opt-out request actually relates to you and not some other person.
• Deletion of Personal Information where there is no longer a legitimate reason for us to keep it. If you no longer want us to retain your Personal Information on a going-forward basis, you may submit a request to delete your Personal Information by using our Deletion Privacy Request form, or by calling 844.910.1289 (toll-free). In contacting us, please include your full name and the contact information that you wish to be deleted. Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information relating to your deletion request actually relates to you and not some other person. Please Note: There are a number of reasons why SDG will retain your Personal Information even if you make a deletion request. Generally, we retain information to comply with legal obligations or to protect or defend our legal rights. However, applicable law also permits retention of your Personal Information for our own internal business uses that are compatible with the context in which the information was collected. If we decline to delete some of your Personal Information after you have requested deletion, we will respond to you with our reasoning and explain how your Personal Information will still be protected so long as we retain it.
• Access your Personal Information. You may ask for a copy of the Personal Information we have collected about you and about how that information was disclosed for the last 12 months by using our Access Privacy Request form, or by calling 844.910.1289 (toll-free). Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information you are accessing actually relates to you and not some other person. We are not responsible for changing information in the databases of Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties with whom we have already shared your Personal Information prior to receiving your request. Note that you may not request copies of your Personal Information more than twice a year.
• Receiving promotional emails from us: If you no longer want to receive promotional emails (such as information about new products, special offers and sales events) from us on a going- forward basis, you may “unsubscribe” from receiving such communications by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any promotional email, or by using our Unsubscribe From Email Promotions form.
• Receiving catalogues/source books from us: If you no longer want to receive catalogues/source books from us on a going- forward basis, you may “unsubscribe” from receiving such communications by using our Cancel Source Book Delivery form. When making your request, please ensure you enter your contact information exactly as it appears on your Source Book mailing label.
• Appointment of an Agent. You have the right to appoint an agent to exercise all your rights under this Privacy Notice. However, appointment of an agent is a serious matter and, in the interest of protecting your privacy, we may require that you not only properly identify yourself and the information that relates to you, but also require that you provide us with sufficient Personal Information about your agent so that we may identify them as well.

We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt-out as described above, we will not be able to remove your Personal Information from the databases of our Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties with which we have already shared your Personal Information (i.e., to which we have already provided your Personal Information as of the date that we implement your opt-out request). Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related messages from us, we may still send important administrative messages to you, and you cannot opt-out from receiving such administrative messages. For example, when you place an order, we will continue to confirm your order and shipment status by email. We may also need to contact you via telephone, email or postal mail with information or questions regarding your order.
