Introduction
We at SylvanSport, LLC (“SylvanSport,” “we,” “us,” “our”) recognize the importance of protecting your privacy, and we want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard personal information.
This Privacy Policy applies to information SylvanSport obtains from and about individuals interacting with SylvanSport via the website(s) it operates (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy also applies to information we collect from other sources, including in connection with our social media sites, mobile sites, and any applications (“apps”), and electronic newsletters that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, with the Website, the “Services”). Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in making informed decisions when using our Website and Services.
- Personal Information We May Collect Or Track
Personal information is information, which can be used to specifically identify you; we collect personal information when you submit it to us. We collect personal information when you communicate with us, when you submit content to the Website or via the Services, when you indicate an interest in our products, and when you purchase or register our products. We may also lawfully obtain information from other companies and from third party sources, such as independent dealers, SylvanSport licensees, SylvanSport vendors, and other companies that provide lists of potential customers.
We may collect personal information such as:
- Your name, address, e-mail address, social media addresses, telephone number and other contact information;
- Your billing information, including your credit card number, cardholder name, expiration date, and billing address;
- Information concerning SylvanSport products you have purchased, including sales records, Vehicle Identification Numbers, make, model, selling dealer, service history and information obtained during product registration);
- Information concerning SylvanSport products in which you may be interested in purchasing or have purchased in the past;
- Content you submit to SylvanSport via any SylvanSport-related Website, solicitation, promotion, or contest, including messages, essays, statements, product reviews and testimonials, company reviews, photographs and videos;
- Information accessed from social media providers, if you make use of any Website social media features, in accordance with the social media providers’ policies.
- Non-Personal Information We May Collect; Cookies.
We may also gather non-personal information that does not personally identify you, such as general demographic information, automatically collected session information, and compiled data.
Cookies are small text files (which often include an anonymous unique identifier) placed on your computer or mobile device, which are widely used in order to make websites work, or work in a more efficient manner. Like many other commercial websites, our Website uses “cookies” and web server log files to collect information about how our Website is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the websites visited just before and just after our Website. When you visit our Website, our site’s computer asks your computer/mobile device for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.
Any website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Website will not function as effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive.
We utilize statistical services, such as Google Analytics and Facebook, to review how visitors use the Website and other Services by tracking non-personally identifiable information. This information helps us improve our website navigation and the content we offer. Google and other service providers use cookies as part of this process to collect anonymous information, including the number of visitors to our Website, how visitors are entering our site, the pages they visit and the length of time they spend on our site. We also use similar technology to serve online advertising promoting products that our visitors and customers may be interested, and these services are cookie-based and do not collect personal information. Each third party is subject to such party’s own privacy policy.
We may also collect non-personal information about the device you use to access the Website or Services, your IP addresses, geo-location information, and unique device identifiers through our Website or other Services. Although we may log your IP address for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes, we do not use your IP address to track your session, nor do we associate your IP address to anything personally identifiable.
- How We Use Your Information
We use your information generally to communicate with you; to provide you information concerning products or services you may request; to provide independent dealers with information concerning your potential interest in SylvanSport products; to manage your account; to register products your have purchased; to administer warranty and service claims; to measure interest in and improve our products; to solicit information from you; and to enable use of the Website and Services.
SylvanSport may share your information with third parties who provide services or functions on our behalf (such as billing, e-commerce, credit card processing, business analytics, marketing and promotional services, customer research, surveys, and fraud detection and prevention). Note that sensitive billing information is used only for the purposes of fulfilling transactions within the Website and/or through vendors providing online commerce services to SylvanSport.
We may share your personal information with independent dealers, and we may also forward referrals to dealers to advise them of your potential interest in a SylvanSport product. We may also forward information about products you have purchased, including registration information and information relating to warranty and/or service issues.
SylvanSport may provide information to marketing partners to help identify products and offers that may be of interest to you. This may include the sharing of non-personally identifiable information (such as aggregated data or data gathered by “cookies”) or it may include personally identifiable information (such as name, address, email address and telephone number) for use in direct marketing efforts.
We may also share your information with third-party business partners with whom we jointly offer products, with whom we are engaging in cross-promotional efforts, whose products are offered on our Website, or who offer products which we believe would be of interest to our users. When you access certain social media features through our Website, you will be sharing information with that social media provider. The information you provide to that social media provider will be governed by their privacy policy, not ours.
Reviews or testimonials that you provide about our products or our company through our website or review partners may be used in paid advertising and on social media operated by SylvanSport. If you do post content or submit material, and unless SylvanSport indicates otherwise, you grant SylvanSport and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt and publish, translate, create, derivative works from, distribute and display such content through the world in any media. You also grant SylvanSport and its affiliates and its and their sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and indemnify SylvanSport and its affiliates for all claims resulting from content you supply.
We may disclose information when legally required to do so (for example, in response to a court order or subpoena). We may also disclose information when in good faith we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, or to protect the safety of our users or the public. We may also disclose information during a corporate transaction, such as a merger or a sale of the business or an asset of the business.
- Protection of Your Information
The security of the information you provide to us is important to us. We (and our service providers) follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to or through us, both during transmission and after receipt. While no website or computer system is guaranteed to be secure, SylvanSport has adopted appropriate administrative, technical and physical procedures to protect the personal information you provide to us against unauthorized access. For example, when you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, such information is encrypted by our credit card processor using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (Again, however, because no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.) In the unlikely event of a data breach, SylvanSport will comply with applicable notice requirements.
Personal information we collect is stored in our database for a reasonable time period with which information remains current, and is updated periodically. We will retain your information for as long as needed to provide you the Services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Please note that we do not store personally sensitive credit card information; such information (if any) is stored with our PCI-compliant credit card processor.
