Gloebit Privacy Policy

Gloebit Privacy Policy

Gloebit Privacy Policy

Welcome. Because Your privacy is very important to Us, We want You to understand Our practices with regard to collecting and using Your information both online and offline and the steps We take to safeguard it. This statement applies to Personally Identifiable Information collected from You. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “Personally Identifiable Information” it refers to information that lets Us know the specifics of who You are and can be used to identify, contact or locate You. Personally Identifiable Information might include Your name, mailing address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, and other identification and contact information. We may also collect certain financial information; whenever We do so, We will attempt to provide a link to this Policy so that You can confirm how this information will be used. With this information, We can fill Your orders for Gloebits and better provide You with personalized services.

You accept this Privacy Policy when You sign up for, access, or use Our products, services, content, features, technologies or functions offered on Our Website. If You do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please leave this Website and do not use it. We may amend this Policy at any time by posting a revised version on Our Website. The revised version will be effective at the time We post it. Therefore, please be sure to review the Gloebit User Agreement before proceeding to use Our Website.

“Non Personally Identifiable Information” refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We may gather certain information about You such as age, date of birth and gender. This information may be compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that You just came from, which URL You next go to, what browser You are using, and Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the Internet. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer whenever You are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify Your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to make Our Website more interesting and useful to You. We also track the pages or documents accessed within Our Website. This information is collected for systems administration and for analyzing and improving the value of the material available on Our Website. This Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help Our partners or Our site design teams create content You might like.

  3. Cookies

    Like many other commercial sites, Our Website utilizes standard technologies called “cookies” to collect information about how Our Website is used. These data files may be cookies, pixel tags, “Flash cookies,” or other local storage provided by Your browser or associated applications. We use both session and persistent Cookies. Session Cookies expire and no longer have any effect when You log out of Your account or close your browser. Persistent Cookies remain on Your device until You erase them or they expire. A cookie is a small data text file that a Website stores on Your computer’s hard drive (if Your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify You to Us. Cookies are designed to help a Website recognize Your browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while You were browsing Our Website. A cookie cannot be read by a Website other than the one that set the cookie. Cookies can securely store Your password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of Our site You have visited or keep track of Your selections, such as those selected in a purchase flow. For instance, cookies allow Us to prepopulate (or fill in) an email field with Your email address if You revisit Our Website and place an order or request for information. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from Your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture Your email address.

    We send a cookie to Your hard drive when You place an order to record the number of Gloebits that You ordered, the amount paid, the order number and any referral codes. We also send a cookie with every HTTP response to identify the Gloebit web session. No Personally Identifiable Information is recorded. When You click through to Our Website from a promotional email, Our third-party advertising service partner may send a cookie to Your hard drive recording Your IP address and other related information.

    1. Our Contractors

      We contract with other companies (such as Our Partners, and Website developers) to provide certain services to Gloebit, to utilize Gloebits, and to create Our Website.

      These companies are prohibited by contract from using this information for their own marketing purposes or from sharing this information with anyone other than Gloebit.

  5. Disclosure Exceptions

    Notwithstanding the above policies, We may disclose Your personal information to appropriate third parties if We are required to do so by law or We believe that such action is necessary:

    • To comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order from law enforcement, governmental agencies, or authorized third-parties, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity or any other activity that may expose Us or You to legal liability. In such events, We will only disclose information relevant and necessary to the investigation or inquiry, such as name, city, state, ZIP code, telephone number, email address, IP address and anything else We may deem relevant to the investigation;

If a combination occurs, We will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to Your personal information. If Your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, You will receive prior notice; or

    • During emergencies, such as when We believe someone’s physical safety is at risk.

  6. Your Choices

    We offer choices about the types of information You receive from Us. If You prefer not to receive product information or other communications from Gloebit or if You prefer to receive them less frequently, please contact Us at privacy@gloebit.com.

  9. Security

    We store and process Your Personally Identifiable Information on our computers in the US and elsewhere in the world where our data hosting service’s facilities are located. We protect Your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards We use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to Our data centers, and information access authorization controls. It is Our intent to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that We have collected from You. We employ reasonable security measures to protect the security of the information You submit to Us. We limit the information We provide to outside companies with whom We contract to only what they need to carry out their responsibilities. When You make a purchase, request product information or create an account on Our Website, Your transactional information is transmitted in a safe, encrypted format. We maintain the data You provide, along with a record of Your purchases, in a secure database. We also encourage Our partners and service providers to adopt and follow stringent consumer privacy policies. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage or protection is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. If You have any questions about the security on our Website, You can contact Us at privacy@gloebit.com.

  10. Privacy of Children on our Website

    It is Our policy to collect no Personally Identifiable Information from any person under 13 because children are not permitted to use this Website, and We request that children under the age of 13 not submit any Personally Identifiable Information to Us through the Website. If We learn that We have inadvertently gathered Personally Identifiable Information from children under 13, We will promptly remove such information from Our records.
