ShoptheVoice.com and each of its affiliated companies is committed to respecting the privacy rights of all users of the ShoptheVoice.com website. ShoptheVoice.com has established and implemented this Privacy Policy to inform visitors of the Site and users of our services, how we use and protect the information we collect through the Site and the Services. By visiting the Site or using any of the Services, you consent to our collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and storage of information relating to you as set forth in this Privacy Policy

 

WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

There are cases where ShoptheVoice.com may ask you for personal information, such as your name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, etc. We do this for instance when you register for contests/promotions, respond to communication such as e-mail, and for services that require registration or subscription. 

  • We may use 'cookies' to gather information about your visits to our website to enhance your experience. You can find more information on how we use cookies in the section 'Use of Cookies'.
  • When you visit our website, we may collect so-called 'click stream' data (server address, domain name etc.). This information can be combined with information you have provided to us (for instance by registering), which will enable us to analyze and better customize your visits.

 

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO THE VOICE ELECTRONICS

While ShoptheVoice.com does not generally require that you provide us with personally identifiable information in order to visit and use the Sites, please note that in order to participate in some activities, such as sweepstakes, contests and other promotions, we may ask you to provide information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally (such as first and last name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number) ("Personal Information"). We may also ask you to provide other information about yourself, such as demographic information (such as gender, geographic region, age, etc.) or certain information about your preferences and interests. If you choose not to provide such Personal Information or other information to us, you may not be able to participate in certain activities we offer.

 

INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED

In addition to any Personal Information or other information that you choose to provide via the Sites, whenever you visit or interact with the Sites, ShoptheVoice.com automatically collects certain information such as your IP address and/or another unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device ("Device") you use to access the Sites and any referring website. (A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a website or its servers. Our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier.) Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the Websites.

In addition, ShoptheVoice.com, as well as certain third-party analytics and other service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how you use the Sites ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time at which a page was accessed and/or the time spent on a page, and the preceding pages views. Usage Information is generally nonidentifying, but if ShoptheVoice.com associates the collected data with you as a specific and identifiable person, we will treat it as Personal Information.

 

INFORMATION SHARED ON A WEBSITE OR NETWORK OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY A THIRD PARTY

Functionality on the Sites may permit interactions between such Sites and a third-party website, such as enabling you to “like” a product or “share” content to third-party websites. If you choose to “like” or “share” content or to otherwise post information from or via the Sites to a third-party website, feature or application, that information may become public, and the third-party web site may have access to information about you and your use of the Sites.

You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party website) through which you allow us to collect and share (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third-party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections,” or if information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third-party website or interactive service.

 

USE OF VISITORS' INFORMATION

All personal information that we obtain about you will be recorded, used and protected by us in accordance with current Data Protection Legislation and this privacy policy. We will primarily use your personal information to provide products and services to you and, for example:

  • To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature and to provide you with the relevant products or services (for instance to deliver a prize you may have won in a contest). You may be contacted by phone or email.

This information may relate to products, offers and news of ShoptheVoice.com and/or its licensees or carefully selected commercial partners. We only send you this if you have opted-in to receive ShoptheVoice.com e-mails and/or SMS messages. In case you do not want to receive any e-mails and/or SMS messages from us anymore, or if you want to modify your personal data or want your personal data to be deleted from our database, we refer you to the 'Opt-out, delete or modify personal information' section below.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTIES

For your convenience and to improve the usage of the website we insert links to third parties, for which this privacy policy does not apply. These links take you outside our service and off the ShoptheVoice.com site and are beyond our control. This includes links from partners that may use ShoptheVoice.com' logos as part of a co-branding agreement or sell ShoptheVoice.com products. The sites you can link to have their own separate privacy policy and although we seek to protect the integrity of our site, ShoptheVoice.com is not responsible and cannot be held liable for the content and activities of these sites. Your visit/access to these sites is therefore entirely at your own risk. Please note that these other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, you may ask businesses to disclose what personal information they have collected about you and what they do with that information. You are also allowed to request that they delete or not sell your personal information. You also have the right to be notified, before their collection of or the types of personal information they are collecting and what they do with that information. Generally, businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the (California Consumer Protect Act) CCPA. Businesses cannot make you waive these rights, and any contract provision that says you waive these rights is unenforceable.

As a California resident, you have the following rights in connection with your personal information (collectively, “Privacy Rights”):

  • Access/Portability: You have the right to request and receive a copy of your personal information ShoptheVoice.com has collected, used, disclosed and sold within the previous 12 months. 
  • Deletion: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information ShoptheVoice.com collects and maintains. By submitting a deletion request, you will be deleting your entire account including your order history.
  • Opt-Out: You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. ShoptheVoice.com DOES NOT SELL ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES FOR PROFIT. LIKE MOST ONLINE BUSINESSES, ShoptheVoice.com SHARES SOME INFORMATION WITH CONTRACTED THIRD PARTIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE BETTER SERVICES AND ADVERTISING TO YOU. California law may classify our limited sharing with these contracted third parties as a “sale” of personal information, and ShoptheVoice.com does afford you the option to opt-out of sharing this information. You also have the ability to restrict the use of cookies and advertising IDs:
    • You can use your browser’s settings to clear, delete or prevent cookies. ShoptheVoice.com cannot control cookies that you have stored on your browser and recommends deleting all current cookies. Instructions for how to do this on different types of browsers can be found here: https://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.
    • ShoptheVoice.com uses Google Ads and Google Analytics to serve and measure advertising. Please follow these links links here and here to opt-out of any personalized ads and cookies.
    • ShoptheVoice.com also uses Facebook and Instagram to help serve advertising. Please go here to control Facebook’s use of cookies and here to control Instagram’s use of cookies.
    • You may also find more information on our use of cookies and how to manage them in the Sections titled “USE OF COOKIES” and “OPT-OUT, DELETE OR MODIFY PERSONAL INFORMATION” above.

 

EXCEPTIONS TO DELETION REQUEST

There are some exceptions to a deletion request. Common reasons why businesses may refuse to delete your personal information include:

  • The business cannot verify your request.
  • The request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or the business has already provided personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period.
  • Disclosure would restrict the business’s ability to comply with legal obligations, exercise legal claims or rights, or defend legal claims.

Also, please be aware that after submitting an Opt-Out request, you may still continue to see advertisements regarding our company online or through third parties. If you continue to visit or use the Site, you may also come across our ads. You will no longer receive personalized advertisements, but you may still see generic, non-personalized advertisements.

Non-Discrimination: You have the right to exercise any of your Privacy Rights free from discriminatory practices prohibited by California law.

ShoptheVoice.com reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, without prior notice to you, and any changes will become effective immediately upon posting.
