To create anonymous data

We may create aggregate and other anonymous data from our users’ personal information. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties to operate, understand and improve our Service, to develop new services, and for other lawful business purposes.

We may use your personal information as we believe appropriate to investigate or prevent violation of the law or our Terms of Service; to secure the Service; to protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property; and to protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

With your consent

In some cases we may ask for your consent to collect, use or share your personal information with your consent.

How We Share Your Personal Information

Affiliates

We may share some or all of your personal information with our subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control, in which case we will require those entities to honor this Privacy Policy.

Your Choices

Access, correct or delete

If you have an account, you can access and update the personal information in your profile. Registered users may also contact us to request deletion of your account and personal information. We may request information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request, such as where we need to retain your information for security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety, to comply with law or for legal claims. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions. Once we process your request you will not be able to access your account or use the Service. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from our active database, but where permitted by law, may remain for a period of time in our backup files or other instances where deletion is not practicable.

Notifications and marketing communications

In your notifications settings, you can choose how you would like to receive notifications from the Service. You may also opt out of marketing-related emails by following the opt-out prompt in the email, or by contacting us. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails.

Social Media Widgets

Our Service may include social media features, such as the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram widgets. These features may collect your personal information and track your use of the Service. These social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly in the Service. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing such functionality.

Payment Information

Any payment card information you use to make a purchase on the Service is collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe, and we never receive or store your full payment card information. Stripe commits to complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and using industry standard security. Stripe may use your Payment Information in accordance with its own Privacy Policy here.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of, personal information covered by this Privacy Policy. However, no method of protection and no transmission over the internet is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. You hereby acknowledge that we are not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

International Data Use

ShotDeck is headquartered in the United States and has service providers and users in other countries. Your personal information may be collected, used and stored in the United States or in other locations outside of your home country. Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your personal information may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country.

Third Party Sites and Services

The Service may link to or integrate with other websites and services operated by third parties, including social media platforms, advertising services and other websites and applications. These links and integrations are not endorsements of, or representations that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control third party websites, applications or services and we are not responsible for their actions. Third party websites and services follow different rules regarding their collection, use and sharing of your personal information and we encourage you to read their privacy policies to learn more.

Children

We do not knowingly collect information from children. We may, however, ask the user to provide us with the user's age information. If the person indicates that the person is under 13 years old, as permitted by law, we will (i) collect no or limited personal information (e.g. persistent identifier and/or email address only) from that individual, (ii) inform the child that a parent's verifiable consent is required, and/or (iii) collect the email address of the user's parent in addition to the user's email address. We may use the parent's email address to seek the parent's verifiable consent or notify the parent of his/her child's online activities and enable the parent to unsubscribe his/her child from a newsletter or other similar activity. Once a parent provides consent, we may use any information collected from a child consistent with the rest of this Privacy Policy and/or the terms of the consent provided by the parent. If a user is under 13, we will not condition his/her participation in an online activity on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. If you would like to review any personal information that we have collected online from your child, have this personal information deleted from our active servers, and/or request that there be no further collection or use of your child's personal information, or if you have questions about these information practices, you may contact us.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by email (if we have your email address) or another reasonable manner through the Service. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective when posted (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting).

Your Rights Under CCPA

Additionally, you have the following rights under the CCPA. Instructions on how to exercise each right are listed below. You may only exercise each right up to two times in any twelve (12) month period. To exercise more than one right or to submit more than one email address, please submit each request individually. If you submit multiple requests, we cannot guarantee the order in which your requests will be processed:

  1. Right to Know: You have the right to know what categories of personal information we collected in the preceding twelve (12) months, including the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected, the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, and the business or commercial purposes for which such personal information was collected and shared. You also have the right to know the categories of personal information which were disclosed for business purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information in the preceding twelve (12) months.
    1. To exercise your right to know, you may or email us at support@shotdeck.com. and follow these instructions:
      1. Include “Right to Know Under CCPA” in the subject of the email and
      2. Please include sufficient personal information for us to locate your records and to verify the identity affiliated with your account. At a minimum, you must provide the full name and email address affiliated with your account. We may request additional information to complete the verification process if we are unable to verify your identity initially. Our ability to locate your personal information is limited by the accuracy and the completeness of the information that you provide.
  2. Right to Access: You have the right to receive the personal information that you gave us. The information that we will provide to you will be masked, meaning that portions of it will be omitted so that it can’t be used fraudulently. For example, your telephone number may display as (123)-XXX-XX567. In order to exercise your right to access, you may email us at support@shotdeck.com and follow these instructions:
    1. Write to us from the email address that is affiliated with your account and include “Right to Access Personal Information Under CCPA” in the subject of the email or written request; and
    2. Please include sufficient personal information for us to locate your records and to verify the identity affiliated with your account. At a minimum, you must provide the full name and email address affiliated with your account. We may request additional information to complete the verification process if we are unable to verify your identity initially. Our ability to locate your personal information is limited by the accuracy and the completeness of the information that you provide. For example, if you use multiple email addresses and you include only one in your request, we may only locate the information associated with the email address that you included in the request.
  3. Deletion: You can request to have your personal information deleted from our systems and we will ask our service providers to do the same.
    1. Consequences of Deletion: Please note that if we delete your personal information, many of our Services will not work the same. For example, you will not have an account (because any prior login information and saved transaction data will be deleted) and so your addresses and other information will no longer be available. If you make multiple requests under this section, we recommend sending your deletion request last, as we will not be able to fulfill your other requests once we have deleted your information.
    2. Exceptions: We may not be able to fulfill your request if we (or our service providers) are required to retain your personal information for one or more of the following reasons:
      1. Transactional: to complete a transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a service or good requested by you, or perform a contract we have with you;
      2. Security: to detect data security incidents;
      3. Error Correction: to debug or repair any errors;
      4. Legal: to protect against fraud or illegal activity or to comply with applicable law or a legal obligation, or exercise rights under the law, such as the right to free speech; or
      5. Internal Use: to use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information (i.e. to improve our services).
    3. In order to exercise your right to deletion, email us at support@shotdeck.com using the email address affiliated with your account and follow these instructions:
      1. In the subject of you request, please write “Right to Deletion Under CCPA”;
      2. Please include sufficient personal information for us to locate your records and to verify the identity affiliated with your account. At a minimum, you must provide the full name and email address affiliated with your account. We may request additional information to complete the verification process if we are unable to verify your identity initially. Our ability to locate your personal information is limited by the accuracy and the completeness of the information that you provide. For example, if you use multiple email addresses and you include only one in your request, we may only delete the email address that you included in the request.
  4. Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under CCPA and we will not deny you services or goods, charge you a different price, or provide you with a lesser quality of goods or services if you exercise any of your rights.
