Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Like many ecommerce businesses, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies from advertising and analytics partners to operate our website, understand how visitors interact with our store, and show ads on other websites and apps that may be relevant to you. Sharing personal information for these purposes — including cross-context behavioral advertising — may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" under certain U.S. state privacy laws, even where no money changes hands. The categories of personal information that may be involved include identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity, commercial information, and inferences.

We do not knowingly engage in the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information of consumers under 16 years of age, or in targeted advertising directed at them.

How to opt out. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of this activity. You can opt out by:

Using our opt-out page: [LINK TO SHOPIFY-GENERATED "DO NOT SELL OR SHARE" PAGE]
Adjusting your preferences in our cookie banner
Emailing us at crew@vectorapparel.co with the subject line "Opt out of sale/sharing"
Enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser (see below)

Opt-out preferences are generally specific to the browser and device used to make the request. If you clear cookies, switch browsers or devices, or use multiple devices, you may need to opt out again.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our Store, along with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may make use of personal information collected about your interactions with our store, along with other merchants, and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over use of your personal information for these purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, you can visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights with respect to your personal information through the Shopify Privacy Portal.

You can exercise this right at [LINK TO SHOPIFY-GENERATED OPT-OUT PAGE]. If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, depending on where you are, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt out for the device and browser that you use to visit the website. If we are able to associate the device sending the signal to a Shopify account, we will apply the opt-out request to the account as well.

Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to your request within the time periods required by applicable law (generally 45 days, which may be extended where allowed).

Third Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.

Children's Data

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). We also do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age, or use such information for targeted advertising, without affirmative consent as required by applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we may have collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us at crew@vectorapparel.co so we can investigate and, if appropriate, delete the information.

Security and Retention of Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, payment card information is handled through secure payment processors using industry-standard encryption.

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

How long we retain your personal information depends on factors such as:

whether we need the information to provide the Services and maintain your account;
whether we need the information for legitimate business purposes such as order recordkeeping, returns, exchanges, customer support, fraud prevention, and analytics;
our legal, accounting, tax, and reporting obligations (which typically require retaining transaction records for several years); and
whether we need the information to resolve disputes, defend legal claims, or enforce our agreements and policies.

When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will delete, deidentify, or aggregate it, or take other appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us using the contact details set out below, or lodge your complaint with your local data protection authority or state attorney general.
