This Privacy Policy describes how we use the data we collect from you through our digital properties (“Site”), when you visit our stores, when you buy merchandise from us online, and when you otherwise interact with our marketing, contests, sweepstakes, and surveys (collectively our “Services”).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will treat your information.

If you have any other request you wish to submit to the Stance Team, you may submit a general information request using the webform or email above.

Stance.com is managed by Stance, Inc. and its related subsidiaries and affiliates. (“Stance”). We may share your information with other Stance entities.

Like any company, we use a variety of third party businesses and partners to market and provide our Services to you. Some of those companies are part of Stance and some are third parties that we partner with or support our operations so we can provide the best experience to you.

Stance solely offers the Site and Services to customers who reside in the United States of America. As a result, Stance only receives and processes data in the U.S. and does not invite anyone who resides outside of the U.S. to use its Site and Services.

You may provide us with personal information in a number of ways, such as when you:

• Provide information to us via our websites, applications, and other digital channels by signing up, creating accounts (including using social media login), filling out forms, commenting, or otherwise engaging with our online services;
• Communicate with us by e-mail or phone;
• Subscribe to e-mails and/or newsletters;
• Report a problem or request support for any of our Services;
• Buy a ticket or merchandise from us online at Stance.com or in one of our stores;
• Interact with our Social Media accounts; and
• Participate in our contests, promotions, sweepstakes or surveys.

We may also use the information we have about you:

• as necessary if we believe there has been a breach of the Terms & Conditions or the rights of any third party, or
• to comply with legal and/or regulatory requirements.

We combine information we receive from other sources with information you give to us and information we collect about you. We use this combined information for the purposes set out above.

We do share data with third parties, including event sponsors and Stance, and the other categories of partners as listed above, some of these disclosures of data may be constitute a sale of data under some data privacy laws. Accordingly, we offer the option for you to opt out of the sale of your personal information, as further set forth below.

We may share your personal information with Stance and with selected third parties including:

• business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you in order to provide you with a product or service; 
• business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors to provide you with information about promotions and offers; 
• advertisers, advertising networks and social networks that require the data to select and serve relevant advertisements to you and, in some cases, to others. For more information on how we use personal information for targeted advertising, see below; and 
• analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimization of the Service.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

• If we enter into negotiations to buy, sell, or merge with any business or assets, or if we enter into bankruptcy, reorganization, or receivership, in which case we may disclose your personal information to the prospective or eventual seller or buyer of such business or assets;  
• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in the event of an emergency, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms & Conditions and other agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Stance.com, Stance, our customers, clients or others; and  
• to any other third party not covered in this policy with your prior consent.

In our physical store locations, we may use in-store cameras for security purposes and for operational purposes such as measuring traffic patterns and tracking in-stock levels.

We use your personal information to tailor our marketing and advertising efforts. To do this, we provide your personal information to third party marketing partners for commercial use (such as Oracle or Google Doubleclick) and social media companies (such as Facebook). When we provide data to agencies, ad networks, and other parties for targeted advertising, we do not provide them with your name, financial information, or any sensitive information (such as Government ID or date of birth, if we have collected that). We use online identifiers such as email, cookie addresses, and device identifiers to help us provide targeted advertising to you and others like you. We may also use aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to target audiences. These third partners may also combine your email information with other information they have access to such as mailing address so that we may serve relevant marketing offers to you via direct mail.

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. To opt out of targeted advertising, you may use the following links provided by third parties that manage opt outs for some ad networks:

Opting out of our first-party advertising-related cookies or out of third-party advertising-related cookies and web beacons does not necessarily mean that you will not see our advertising—only that this advertising will not be targeted to you through the use of first-party or third-party cookies, web beacons or related technologies.

We also add you to our mailing lists for email communications from us and our partners', including Stance, when you sign up for our mailing lists, purchase our merchandise, or subscribe to our content online. If you provide us with your email address in order to receive communications, you can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe links ad the bottom of our emails or contacting us using the methods below.

We may ask you to consent to receive text message communications from us. You may opt-out entirely of receiving any text messages from us-- promotional, transactional, or otherwise -- by replying STOP to any text message you receive from us. Message and data rates may apply.

You may be able to use social sharing features and other integrated tools on the Site such as the Facebook "Like" button. These features and tools may permit you to share actions you take on our Service with other media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the service that provides the social sharing feature. Please remember, though, that use of the information you share on social media sites will be governed by the privacy policies of the social media provider, and we are not responsible for how they treat the information.

If you participate in our online services or access certain public or other interactive areas on the Sites, such as commenting on our social media, or by creating a public profile, the information you voluntarily disclose may be accessible to other Site users and, in some cases, the general public. We cannot prevent such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.

You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Site and visiting your account dashboard page.

You may also send us an e-mail using the contact details found below to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

If you delete your user contributions from the Site, copies of your user contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or might have been copied or stored by other Site users.

We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Sites. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf).

By default, all cookies are in use on our website. You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish—for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work. Adjusting your cookie preference does not mean you will not receive advertising from us; it does, however, allow you to stop targeted or behavioral advertising that tracks you over different sites. We use cookies for a commercially reasonable amount of time.

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether you intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether you even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.

We collect, store, and use your data as long as you remain a customer of Stance and in compliance with our legal obligations to retain certain types of data. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfill our statutory obligations, such as for tax records, or to confirm your warranty.

We operate the Services in and from a number of different jurisdictions, but the Site is primarily operated from the United States, which is where your information will likely be stored and processed. Your information may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from government authorities or to respond to legal process in the countries in which we operate and/or store your information.

We do not knowingly collect information from children who are under 13 years old. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who is 13-16 years old and using our Services, please contact us using the options below to opt in or request deletion of any personal information we may have collected about the child. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who is under 13 years old and using our Services, please contact us to arrange for deletion of any personal information we may have collected about the child.

Stance.com partners with a variety of companies to improve the Services and to share personal information used to market additional opportunities to you by these third parties. These transfers can be deemed a sale under some data privacy laws.

You may opt out of the sale of your personal information by clicking on the Do Not Share/Sell My Information in the footer, or by filling out the Privacy Rights Request Form link on our site. You may also contact us using the methods below. You will be asked to provide certain information to us in order to exercise this option so we can verify your identity and locate your records with us.

Please note that your decision to opt out of the sale of your personal information may impact the availability and quality of some of the Services provided to you.

Some states grant you certain rights and control over your information. Those rights may include:

• Information about You: You may ask for us to state what categories of personal information about you we have, and the categories of sources from which we collect your personal information.
• Receive a Copy of Your Data: You may request the categories and specific pieces of information (if any) we have about you, the categories of personal information that we have disclosed about you for a business purpose,  and the categories of third parties with which we have shared personal information in the previous 12 months.
• Delete Your Data: You may request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you.
• Do-Not-Sell:  You may opt out of our sale(s) of your personal information, as “sale” is defined by data privacy laws. Please see above for more information.
• Non-Discrimination:  California law prohibits discrimination against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Note: Where certain technologies rely on your data to provide the Services, the absence of that data may impact the operation of the Services.

Verification Process and Required Information. All requests must be verified. Some requests, including receiving a copy of your data or requests made by an agent claiming to be acting on your behalf, are subject to heightened requirements. If we cannot verify your identity based on the information provided, a request for a copy of your data shall be treated as a request for information and if we cannot verify your identity, a request to delete personal information may be treated as a request to opt-out of the sale of personal information.

Authorized Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. An Authorized Agent must have written documentation of their authority to act on your behalf, such as a Power of Attorney. 

If you are 18 and a California resident, and you discover an image posted on our Website taken when you were a minor, the California Eraser law allows you to have us remove the image from view, pursuant to your request. Should you request removal, please be advised that it will be removed only from those sites under our control, and for privacy purposes, we may ask you to verify your request.

We use a variety of administrative, physical, and technology solutions, including engaging with qualified cybersecurity and physical security companies, to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Because there is always some risk in transmitting information over the internet and otherwise processing information, we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information that you transmit on or through the Services or that we otherwise maintain.

Our Services, newsletters, email updates and other communications may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of others, including our partner networks, retail partners, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

Any updates we may make to our Privacy Policy will be posted on this page, and we may also provide a website notice of any material changes for a reasonable period of time.
