We may combine any of the information that we collect from you with other information, including information that we obtain from third parties, or with information derived from any other products or services we provide. We will use this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We process Personal Information for the legal bases listed below. The applicable legal basis depends on the Services you use and how you use them.

- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.
- If we have obtained your prior consent. Please note that for this specific legal basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.
4. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We transmit, disclose, grant access, make available and provide (collectively, "disclose") Personal Information to or with the following types of third parties:
-
Service Providers: We disclose Personal Information with our third-party vendors, consultants, agents, contractors, and service providers that help us provide our Services or with any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Such service providers may include hosting providers, customer relationship management and customer support service providers, recall and warranty processors, other third-party service providers that help us provide features and functions for the Services, and professional advisors, agents, auditors, lawyers, consultants, and accountants.

- Business Transfers: We may disclose Personal Information to third parties we choose to acquire or with buyers, successors, or others in connection with a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, financing due diligence, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets or transition of service to another provider, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding, as permitted by law and/or contract.
-
Compliance and Regulatory Purposes: We may disclose Personal Information if we believe that it is necessary to:
- comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or legitimate governmental request;
- protect the safety or security of the Services, users of the Services, or any person;
- investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities;
- prevent spam, abuse, fraud, or other malicious activity of actors using or accessing the Services; or
- protect our rights or property or the rights or property of those who use the Services.
Non-public information about our users will not be released to law enforcement except in response to an appropriate legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process that has been reviewed by FAO. However, if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency, we may provide information to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
- With Your Consent: There may be situations where you are asked to consent to disclose Personal Information with third parties for additional reasons not included in this Privacy Policy.
5. MARKETING PREFERENCES
From time to time, we may use Personal Information to send you details of new products or services, updates, invites to events, and other information that may be of interest to you.

6. PAYMENT PROCESSORS
FAO does not directly collect or store your payment information. We use third-party, PCI-compliant payment processors to collect and process the payment on our behalf. Our payment processors may provide us with limited information to confirm the transaction. Information collected from you by these third-party payment processors is governed by the applicable third-party payment processor’s privacy policy. You should review the applicable privacy policy prior to submitting any information to the applicable third-party payment processor.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to help ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us.
8. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
As described above in this Privacy Policy, we collect and may permit third parties to collect information using cookies and other technologies.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device that are set by us or by third parties when you visit a website or other online service. FAO uses Cookies for purposes such as to provide content or features on our Services, help us remember you and your preferences, and improve your user experience by making our Services more efficient and relevant to you. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.
In addition to Cookies, we use other technologies that are similar in function, such as pixels, also called web beacons or single-pixel tags/gifs, as well as local or web storage, and other similar technologies.
- Pixels: Also called web beacons, or “clear gifs,” and single-pixel tags/gifs, or web tags, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier placed on a website or in an email that gather information about your interaction with that website or email. Because of their small size, they are not visible. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
- Local or Web Storage: Local or web storage refers to a file that is stored locally on your device and is specifically used with video. It includes both your own device storage and browser cache.
We use the term “Cookie” throughout this Privacy Policy to cover all these technologies.
a. Types of Cookies
Cookies are often described by who created and placed them and how long they last. Types of Cookies generally include the following:
- Persistent Cookies and Session Cookies
- Persistent Cookies: A persistent Cookie stays in your browser and will be read by us when you return. A persistent Cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it is easier for you to return and interact with our Services.
- Session Cookies: A session Cookie enables you to move from page to page on our Services and allows information that you enter to be remembered. A session Cookie is temporary and is deleted when you close your browser or after a short time.
- First-Party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies
- First-party Cookies: These are Cookies set by the publisher of the website or online service you are visiting. First-party Cookies may be set either by us or by a service provider at our request.
- Third-party Cookies: These are Cookies that are set by a party other than the publisher of the website you are visiting.
b. What Types of Information Do Cookies Collect?
Cookies collect different types of information depending on the type of Cookie and its purpose. Some examples of information that may be collected by Cookies when you use our Services include:
- The pages you visit within our Services;
- The buttons you click on our Services;
- The date and time you visit our Services;
- The amount of time you spend on our Services;
- The Internet Protocol (“IP”) address used to connect your computer/mobile phone to the internet; and
- Your device (such as computer, mobile phone) and connection information such as your browser type and version and operating system.
c. How Do We Use Cookies?
We, our service providers, and/or agents acting on our behalf, use the following types of persistent and session Cookies (which may be first-party or third-party Cookies) on our Services, subject to your cookie preferences settings:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These Cookies are essential because they enable our Services to work properly, and they cannot be disabled. Without these Cookies, some of our Services cannot be provided. These Cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes. For example, these Cookies are used to:
- Remember the information that you fill in when performing certain activities on our Services;
- Pass information from one page to the next, for example when filling out forms;
- Read your browser and device settings to optimize the display of our Services;
- Locate and identify misuse of our Services;
- Load our Services uniformly to maintain accessibility; and
- Authenticate users and prevent fraud.
- Functional Cookies: We use functional Cookies to remember your choices so we can tailor our Services to provide you with enhanced features and personalized content. For example, these Cookies can be used to remember your name or preferences on our Services. Functional cookies include social media cookies.

- Provide you a personalized experience, such as remembering how you have customized our Services;
- Remember the information that you fill in when performing certain activities on our Services; and
- Store your preferences such as language and location.
- Performance or Analytics Cookies: These Cookies help us understand how our Services are being accessed, used, or are performing. These performance or analytics Cookies may collect information about the content you view, what websites you visit immediately before and after visiting our Services, and your system and geographic information. The information generated by these Cookies will be transmitted to and stored by the applicable analytics services. For example, we may use performance or analytics Cookies to:
- Maintain and continually improve our Services;

- Keep track of the length of time that each visitor spends on the pages within our Services;
- Determine the order in which a visitor visits the various pages or features within our Services;
- Identify performance issues with our Services; and
- Assess which parts of our Services need improvement.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These third-party Cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising Cookies are usually placed by advertising platforms that work with other organizations to deliver personalized experiences to you. These Cookies are used to:
- Keep track of how you interact with the advertisements that we serve;
- Keep track of which advertisements you have already been shown so that you are not always shown the same ones;
- Keep track of how many visitors click on the advertisement; and
- Improve reporting on campaign performance.
d. Targeted Advertising
Depending on your cookie preferences, our third-party advertising partners may collect information about your activity on our Services using tracking technologies, which include pixels and other Cookies, such as the Meta pixel. Tracking data collected by these third-party advertising partners is used to decide which ads you see and helps us provide more customized advertising and marketing. Depending on your location (derived from your IP address), you may be opted out of tracking technologies that are used for targeted advertising by default. In this case, these tracking technologies will not be enabled unless you choose to opt in. You can opt out of tracking technologies at any time using our cookie preferences manager.
e. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You can exercise your preferences concerning Cookies served on our Services by taking the steps outlined below.
To learn more about Cookies, including how to manage Cookies and opt-out of Cookies being placed on your devices, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Browser Settings
You may alter the Cookie settings in your browser settings at any time. You may accept all or only certain Cookies. If you disable Cookies in your browser settings, however, you may find that certain sections of our Services will not work.
- First-Party Cookies: If you do not want Cookies placed on your device, you can adjust the setting of your Internet browser to reject some or all Cookies and to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your device. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help,” “Tools,” or “Edit” settings). While adjusting your browser setting can prevent the future placement of Cookies, it does not remove existing persistent Cookies.
- Third-Party Cookies: Modern browsers also allow you to block third-party Cookies using the steps described above for first-party Cookies.
- The Company’s Cookie Manager
You can set your preferences by Cookie type directly through the cookie manager available on our Website. If you set your cookie preferences and wish to reset them, you can clear your cache and reload the Website to access the cookie manager again.
- Third-Party Preferences Tools and Other Options
There are several services available that can assist you with managing your Cookie preferences, including industry groups, standards associations, and tools provided by the Cookie providers and social media sites. Please note that FAO has no affiliation with, and is not responsible for, the third party websites.

9. DO NOT TRACK PREFERENCES
Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Website and Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. For information about how the Website and Services respond to Global Privacy Controls, please see the Global Privacy Control and Opt Out Preference Signals section in the California Privacy Notice.
10. THIRD PARTY SOCIAL PLUGINS
The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button and the Twitter “Follow” button), which let you share actions you take with other media. The use of such features may set a cookie or collect certain information about your device or your interactions with the Services when you interact with them. If you are logged in to your account with the third-party social media provider, the third party may be able to link information about your interactions with the Services to your account with them. You use these social sharing features at your own risk. No security measures, including the privacy settings referenced above, are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot and do not guarantee that the information you share using such features will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these features.
11. VIDEO CONTENT
The Services may offer certain video content.

13. HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
At FAO, we take our responsibility to protect the security and privacy of Personal Information seriously. We have implemented what we believe to be reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to prevent Personal Information from being lost, used, accessed, altered, or disclosed in an unauthorized or unlawful way.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee that Personal Information is completely secure and safe from such risks. By using the Services, you understand and assume the risks associated with your activities on the Internet.
If you have reason to believe that your information is no longer secure, please let us know by contacting us at privacy@fao.com.
14. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION
We retain Personal Information for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. To determine how long we keep Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of Personal Information, the reasons for which we collect and process the information and applicable legal requirements.
15. THIRD PARTY LINKS
We may provide links to other websites or resources with which we do not have a contractual relationship and over which we do not have control (“External Websites”). Such links are not paid advertisements, nor do they constitute an endorsement by FAO of those External Websites and are provided to you only as a convenience. By clicking on links to the External Websites, the operators of the External Websites may collect Personal Information. We are not responsible for the content or data collection practices of those External Websites, and your use of External Websites is subject to their respective terms of use and privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

- Retention of Personal Information
For information about how long we retain personal information that we collect, see the “How Long Do We Keep Personal Information ” section in the Privacy Policy above.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Based on the CCPA’s broad definitions of the terms “sale” and “sharing,” certain data collected on or through our Services by third parties for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising and social media tools may be a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age.
In the previous twelve (12) months, we “sold” or “shared” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from these categories. We “sold” or “shared” each of these categories of personal information to or with our analytics service providers and third-party advertising partner service providers. The business or commercial purpose of “selling” or “sharing” personal information is for these third parties to perform specific services on our behalf,such as targeted advertising and analytics.
Under the CCPA, you or an authorized agent acting on your behalf have the right to opt out of the "sale" and "sharing" of your personal information. To exercise your right to opt out, you may turn off targeting cookies using our cookie manager. Alternatively, you may implement an Opt-Out Signal through your browser, as described in the “ Opt-Out Preference Signals ” section below.
You may also opt out of interest-based advertising using the following third-party tools:
- You may use the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) consumer choice tools to apply opt-outs to interest-based advertising and other applicable uses of web-viewing data by DAA participating companies by visiting http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN#completed.
- You may also manage opt outs through the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) opt-out tool at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
- Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals
You may opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by implementing the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) or other opt-out preference signal through your browser (collectively, “Opt-Out Signals”). For more information about Opt-Out Signals and instructions on how to download and use them, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org. We treat Opt-Out Signals as a request to opt out of sale and sharing. If you have implemented an Opt-Out Signal, we will honor your request with respect to the browser or device that sends us the Opt-Out Signal. Please note that choosing to opt in to cookies will override the Opt-Out Signal.
- Exercising Your California Privacy Rights
To exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you may turn off targeting cookies using our cookie manager. You may also use one of the other methods described in the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section above.
To exercise any of the other rights described above, you or your authorized agent acting on your behalf may submit a request by:
- Submitting a request through our webform here; or
- Email at privacy@fao.com.
To verify your identity, we may ask you to confirm personal information we already have on file for you. If we cannot verify your identity from the information we have on file, we may request additional information, which we will only use to verify your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes.
If you use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we may require proof from you that they have been authorized directly by you to act on your behalf.
We will respond to your rights request as required under the CCPA.
We reserve the right to deny your request subject to applicable law, such as if we cannot verify your identity or the authority to receive the personal information related to you.
- California “Shine the Light” disclosure
The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to opt out of the sharing of certain categories of personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not currently share or disclose personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
