This Privacy Policy applies solely to properties owned and operated by ARISTORK LIMITED (“aristork®”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) and does not cover any information collected via any other website, application, or service. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or privacy practices of third parties. By using our sites and services (collectively, the „Sites“), you explicitly agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Understanding How Information Is Collected:

Information You May Choose to Provide to Us

We may collect information, including personal information, if you choose to provide it to us. For example, you may provide us with your name, contact information (such as an email address), date of birth, or other details when you sign up for our newsletters, participate in contests, sweepstakes, or other promotions on the Sites, or apply for a job with ARISTORK LIMITED.

You may also choose to provide personal information about yourself when you participate in surveys, forums, discussions, or other interactive services on the Sites. Please be aware that information you post may be viewed or captured by anyone who visits the Sites, so you should avoid posting sensitive or personal information that you do not want to be available to the public.

Information That Is Automatically Collected

When you access the Sites, we and our third-party partners and service providers may automatically collect certain information from your device or web browser about your visit using tools such as cookies, web beacons, and other data collection and tracking technologies. This helps us understand how users interact with the Sites and enables us to target advertising messages to you. We and our third-party partners may also collect and track information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, and devices using data matching techniques. Information automatically collected when you visit the Sites may include your IP address, characteristics of your operating system, browser and system settings, data about the device you use to access the Sites, unique device identifiers, clickstream data (which shows the page-by-page path you take as you browse the Sites), and other information that generally is not considered personally identifiable.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files that many websites and online services use to store information on users’ devices or computers. The Sites use cookies (such as HTTP and HTML5 cookies), as well as other types of local storage, to provide useful features to our users. For more information about cookies, you may visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org. To learn more about how you may limit or disable cookies on your computer, see the section below regarding your choices. If you choose to disable cookies, this may affect your ability to use certain features of the Sites that rely on cookies for functionality.

To manage our automatic data collection, we and our third-party partners and service providers use cookies or similar technologies on our Sites to collect information that helps us improve the quality of the Sites and the online experience of our visitors and users.

Information We Obtain From Other Sources

We may supplement the information we collect with information from third-party partners and service providers, including data brokers, customer acquisition vendors, and other companies that collect contact and consumer information such as demographic and interest data. This helps us learn more about our users, tailor content and offers more effectively, and fulfill other lawful business purposes. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Sites.

Social Network and Platform Integration

The Sites may be integrated with social media networks and other platforms, allowing for the sharing of information between us and those platforms. For instance, if you interact with our Sites through a social media feature such as a plug-in, you may be granting us ongoing access to certain information from that social media account. If you do not want a social media platform to collect or share information about you, please review the privacy policy and privacy settings of the applicable social media platform before using such features on our Sites.

Our Disclosures of Information to Others

Since our goal is to help you discover great products, content, and services, the principal reason we disclose your information is to enhance your experience of the Services and present relevant content to you.

This section describes how and why we exchange personal information with service providers and third parties. It also describes exchanges made for certain purposes, such as advertising, legal reasons, and consensual direct marketing. We also disclose de-identified and/or anonymized data for these purposes.

With Affiliates

Our corporate affiliates may access your information for the purposes listed here, always in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

With Service Providers

We contract with service providers to fulfill certain functionalities and features of the Services, including payment processing, email and hosting services, software development, shipping and fulfillment, data management, and administration of contests and other promotions. We may disclose information about you, such as personal identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, and device information, to service providers as necessary for them to perform their services. These service providers are not permitted to use information about you for any other purpose. In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed these types of information to the following types of service providers:

• Analytics Providers: Namely, Google Analytics, to tell us how the Services are performing, such as which parts interest visitors and how long they visit before leaving. Among other data, they may receive your IP address. You can find out how Google Analytics uses data and how to opt out of Google Analytics.
• Various Hosting Services and Data Processors: To provide the infrastructure of the Services, such as Cloudflare, which ensures that traffic is from real people, not computers. Among other data, they may receive your IP address.
• Payment Processors: Namely, Stripe, to process payments between you and us, such as for our offerings. To learn how Stripe processes payment information, see Stripe Privacy Policy. Payment providers receive information about your order to tie your payment process to your order. We don’t receive all of the information you may provide to them (for instance, we don’t receive full payment account numbers).

We sometimes allow service providers to use aggregated or de-identified information for other purposes, in accordance with applicable laws.

For Personalized Ads

We share information with advertising partners to make the advertising presented to you on the Services more relevant to you. We also market the Services to you through ads facilitated by marketing vendors.

• For example, we use Google to serve ads on the Services, and we may market the Services to you on third-party services through Google. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on your visit to the Sites and other sites. You can opt out of the use of the Google cookie by visiting the related Google privacy policy.

• We try to limit how our third-party advertising technology vendors use information they collect from you. Most providers require us to enter contracts that allow them to optimize their ad services and products. Essentially, they combine any information they may gather about you through our Services with information they receive from their other clients. This helps them target ads to you on behalf of their other clients, not just us.

In the past twelve months, we have shared these categories of personal information with third parties to personalize advertising:

• Device Information
• Commercial Information
• Internet Activity
• Geolocation

For Legal Reasons

Finally, we may disclose personal information:

• In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. We reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
• When we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others; and in connection with the enforcement of our Terms and other agreements.
• In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

With Your Consent or at Your Request

We may periodically ask for your consent to disclose your information to third parties.

• Whenever we ask your consent for this reason, we will summarize the purpose and scope of the disclosure. For example, we may offer discounts to you if you consent to join our mailing list or participate in a promotion involving direct marketing communications.
• In those cases, the Services will display a checkbox near an email-entry field explaining that by submitting your information, you agree to share your email with the content provider.
• To be clear, we only exchange information about you with third parties for direct marketing purposes if you opt in and will only do so until you opt out.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

How We Protect Personal Information

We maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. However, it is not possible to guarantee the security of information transmitted online. You use the Sites and provide us with information at your own discretion and risk. If you have questions about the security of your personal information, or if you have reason to believe that the personal information that we hold about you is no longer secure, please contact us immediately as described in this Privacy Notice.

Links From the Sites to Other Websites

The Sites may contain links to other websites that are controlled by third parties, as well as videos, advertisements, and other content served by third parties. Linked websites may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. We are not responsible for the content, terms of use, privacy policies, or any other aspects of any websites, applications, or services that we do not own or control.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this online privacy policy periodically to reflect changes to our privacy practices, such as how we collect or use personal information. We will indicate at the top of this privacy policy the date when it was most recently updated. If we propose to make any material changes, we will notify you by means of a notice on this page. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
