Privacy policy

Effective Date: April 20, 2022

Welcome to www.bandier.com ("the Site"). Bandier Corp. (“Bandier”) is committed to respecting the privacy and security of your information.  This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. 

By using the Site or by providing your information to us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions (https://www.bandier.com/terms), and any written agreement(s) executed and in effect in connection with any of our products or services.

  1. What Information is Collected by Bandier or its Service Providers and When

The information we receive and how we use it depends on what you do when visiting the Site.  The Site and related services may require registration for access. As part of registration and related services, we ask you to provide us certain information about you.  You may provide us and our service providers personal information using the Site in a number of ways, for example by entering that information into data fields on the Site (e.g., by creating an account or subscribing to our updates) or in communications with us using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy or in the Terms and Conditions (https://www.bandier.com/terms).  Personal information includes data that specifically identifies you, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and payment information. Public information is that information that you make publicly available through your account or by posting or otherwise communicating via the Site.

We may receive personal information from other sources.  For example, if you connect your social media account(s) to your account, the social media site may share information with us about your use of their services, including information about your profile, contacts, and viewed or liked content.  We encourage you to read the applicable privacy policies for your social media accounts.  We shall have no responsibility for the data collection and use practices of those social media sites.

When you purchase from the Site, Bandier and its service providers (including, but not limited to, PayPal, Amazon, and International Checkout Inc.) may collect your name, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, e-mail address, and credit card information. You provide this information so we can process and ship your order.

If you submit personal information about another person through the Site (e.g., in connection with placing an order), you represent that the information is correct and accurate, and that you have permission to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We value your privacy and the information you consent to share in relation to our SMS marketing service. We use this information to send you text notifications (for your order, including abandoned checkout reminders), text marketing offers, and transactional texts, including requests for reviews from us. Opt-in data and consent for text messaging will not be shared with any third parties except for messaging partners, for the purpose of enabling and operating our text messaging program.

Our website uses cookies to keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your checkout. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

 

Bandier and its service providers also collect certain non-personal information, data that does not identify you as an individual person.  This information tells us about how people use the Site so that we can analyze its effectiveness and provide you with a better web experience.  We collect and use this information through a variety of technologies, including “cookies” and analysis applications, as discussed below. 

(a)    Server Information

Like every website, the Bandier servers automatically and temporarily store the following information in the server log files. This information is provided by your browser, unless you have deactivated the function.

  • IP address of the enquiring computer
  • File query by the client
  • The http response code
  • The Internet page from which you visited us (referrer URL)
  • The time of the server query
  • The browser type and version
  • The operating system used on the enquiring computer

 

The server log files are not analyzed with respect to individuals. At no time can this data be attributed to specific individuals. 

(b)   Site Visit Tracking Technologies

As is standard practice on many websites, the Site may use “cookies” and other technologies to help Bandier understand which parts of the Site are the most popular and the preferences of the Bandier users. Bandier may also use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on the Site, to improve its functionality and usability as well as to improve the effectiveness of our communications with users. Bandier may also use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience to you during your interactions with the Site.

A cookie is a unique alphanumeric identifier that websites use to help identify the number of unique visitors to a website, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and the source of the visits.  Cookies cannot be executed as code or used to deliver a virus and thus pose no threat to you.  Servers and sites other than the one placing the cookie on your hard drive cannot read the cookie, and no personal information can be gathered by other servers from the cookie.  If you prefer not to enable cookies or to disable them, you may do so through your web browser’s security settings.  Please note that certain features of the Site may not be available once cookies have been disabled.

Like most websites, the Site gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files.  This information includes internet protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser type, operating system, internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, date/time stamp of access, and clickstream data, and information about the content you view on the Site.  When you visit the Site, the servers automatically log your IP address, the time and duration of your visit, and the time and duration spent on the pages of the Site which you view.  If you arrive at the Site by clicking a paid advertisement or a link in a communication, then the server will capture information that tracks your visit from that link.  If you arrive at the Site by clicking on a non-paid source, such as a search engine result or link on another website, the server may capture information that tracks your visit from that source, to the extent available.

Some of our communications to you may contain a “click-through URL” which links to content on the Site.  When you click one of these URLs, it passes information through the Bandier web server before you arrive at the destination web page.  Bandier tracks this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications.  If you prefer not to be tracked, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in emails you receive from Bandier.

Certain features of the Site may use local stored objects (“Flash cookies”) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our website.  Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Bandier additionally may use web beacons or pixel tags, which are tiny invisible graphic images, in the Site.  Web beacons and pixel tags may be used by Bandier to count users who have visited its webpages and for related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

(c)    Different Devices

If you use different devices (e.g., your smart phone, laptop, and/or home computer) to access the Site, we may be provided with and collect device-specific information, including your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, phone number, location, and mobile network information.  We may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your account information.

(d)   Third-Party Analytics

We may use third-party service providers (e.g., search engines) to collect and analyze information about use of the Site.  These service providers may utilize cookies and related technologies to collect personal information.

  1. Use of Information

Bandier and its service providers may use your personal information to provide our services and to contact you in response to inquiries you submit.  Bandier and its service providers may use your information to manage our contractual relationship with you, because we have a legitimate interest to do so, and/or to comply with a legal obligation:

  • to present our Site and related content to you;
  • to provide you with information, products or services that you request from us;
  • to provide you with notices about your account;
  • to process your orders, including purchases of gift certificates;
  • in combination with other information for Site improvement and marketing and promotional purposes;

  • to notify you about changes to the Site or any products or services we offer or provide though it;
  • to allow you to participate in interactive features on the Site.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. 

  1. When Bandier Discloses Your Information

We may disclose aggregated information about our users without restriction.  This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual.  Bandier may disclose aggregated user data in order to describe our services to current and prospective affiliates, and to other third parties for lawful purposes.

 

Bandier and its service providers may transfer information between them for business purposes.  For example, our service providers may handle technical support, payment processing, marketing, advertising delivery and tracking, or information analysis.  We furnish our service providers the information they need to perform these and other services, and we work with our service providers to respect and protect your information.  We may also provide your information to our affiliates.  The entities with which we share information may be located in the United States or other countries. 

 

In the event that Bandier or some of our assets are sold or transferred or used as security, or to the extent we engage in business negotiations with our business partners, the information collected on the Site may be transferred or shared with third parties as part of that transaction or negotiation.  We may also provide information or provide access to information to any of our affiliated businesses or to our business partners.

On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information without your consent and without notice to you as required to comply with laws and regulations, or to comply with court orders, subpoenas, or lawful discovery requests.  Information collected from you may also be used to investigate security breaches or otherwise cooperate with authorities.  We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation. 

We may disclose information about you without your consent and without notice to you as required to enforce or apply the Terms and Conditions (https://www.bandier.com/terms), or other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.

4.   Our Commitment to Data Security

To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Although we strive to keep your personal information secure, no safeguards can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so you should exercise caution when transferring personal information over the Internet.  Please advise us immediately at the address listed below of any incident involving the loss of or unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information that is in our custody or control.
