We collect information, including Personal Information, directly from you and indirectly, as described below.

    • Accessing or Using the Services: When you access or use the Services, such as browsing or making purchases through our Website, we collect information about your browsing and purchasing activity, such as products you select to view, add to your cart, or purchase. We also collect certain information automatically when you access or use the Services, as described in the “Information We Collect Automatically” section below. 
    • Making Purchases: When you make a purchase through the Services, including making a purchase through our Website or by calling us, we collect your contact information, such as your name and email address, the shipping address for your order, your billing and payment information, and information about the products you purchase.

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.

      • To provide you the Services you’ve signed up for or requested and to perform our obligations under the applicable terms of use and service.
      • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, when we carry out fraud screening, improve or enhance the Services, or to market and promote the Services.
      • 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 SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION 

      We transmit, share, grant access, make available and provide Personal Information to or with the following types of third parties: 

      • Service Providers: We share 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. 
      • Business Transfers: We may share Personal Information with 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 share Personal Information if we believe that it is necessary to:
        • comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or legitimate governmental request;

        • 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

      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 share 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. If you no longer want to receive marketing emails from us, you may opt-out by using the unsubscribe link that we include in our marketing emails. You can also manage your marketing preferences by emailing us at privacy@fao.com with “unsubscribe” in the subject line together with the name of the publication you wish to unsubscribe from. We will complete your opt-out request as required under applicable law. 

      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. 

      7. YOUR CHOICES 

      Depending upon the requirements of your local data protection and privacy laws, you may have the right to make the following requests to FAO:

      • Access your Personal Information;
      • Correct your Personal Information;

      • Restrict processing of your Personal Information;
      • Object to the processing of your Personal Information; and
      • Withdraw your consent for processing of Personal Information. 

      FAO will respond in accordance with and as required under applicable data protection and privacy laws. To submit a request, please contact us using the information described below, and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws. 

      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 pixel tags, also called web beacons or single-pixel tags/gifs, local or web storage, and other similar technologies. 

      • Web Beacons: 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.
      • 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:

      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: 

      • 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;

      • 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. While these Cookies can be disabled, this may result in less functionality during your use of our Services. For example, we use these Cookies to:
        • 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 number of visitors to the pages within 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. 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. 

      • 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. 

        • Google Analytics: You may download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
        • 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
        • Do Not Track: You may turn on the Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting in your browser. To turn on your DNT signal, please visit AII About DNT. Our Services do not respond to DNT signals.
        • Web Beacons and Pixels: You may avoid web beacons and pixels by disabling the functionality that allows remote images to load in your email account and refraining from clicking on any links in email messages. 

      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. 

      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. INTERNATIONAL DATA AND TRANSFERS 

      The Services are intended for use only by individuals located in the United States. If you are not located in the United States, please be aware that the Personal Information that we collect or receive may be transferred to and processed in countries located outside of your country of residence to the countries where we or our third-party service providers operate. 

      12. 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. 

      13. 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. 

      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. 

      15. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

      FAO does not knowingly solicit Personal Information from children or send them requests for Personal Information. If you are under sixteen (16), do not use or provide any information on this Website or on or through any of its features. If we learn we have collected or received Personal Information from a child under sixteen (16) without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as required by applicable law. 

      16. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE 

      This section supplements the information provided in this Privacy Policy and applies only to California residents who are within the scope of this Privacy Policy. 

      If you have any questions about your California privacy rights or the information provided in this section, please contact us at privacy@fao.com.

      For information on how to exercise your rights, please see the “Exercising Your California Rights” section below. 

      • Personal Information Categories We Collect: 

      For purposes of this section, “personal information” is used as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer or household. Personal information does not include:

      • information that is lawfully made available from federal, state or local government records;
      • anonymous, de-identified or aggregated information; and
      • information excluded from the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), such as health or medical information covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and financial information covered under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) or Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (“GLBA”).

      When we talk about a “sale” of personal information or information being “sold,” we are also using that term as it is defined in the CCPA. 

      Below is a summary of the personal information categories, as defined by the CCPA, that we have collected in the last twelve (12) months, the business or commercial purposes for which we’ve used them, and the third parties to which we’ve disclosed them.

      For more information about the purposes for which we use personal information and the third parties with whom we share personal information, please see “How We Use Personal Information” and “How We Share Personal Information” in our Privacy Policy above. 

      • Do Not Sell My Personal Information 

      Based on the CCPA’s broad definition of the term “sale,” certain data collected on our Services by third parties for purposes of interest-based advertising and social media tools may be a “sale” under the CCPA. We do not sell personal information of minors we actually know are under sixteen (16) years of age. 

      In the past twelve (12) months, we “sold” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from these categories. We “sold” these categories of personal information to our analytics service providers and advertising partner service providers. The business or commercial purpose of “selling” personal information is for these third parties to perform services on our behalf, such as advertising and analytics. 

      Under the CCPA, you or an authorized agent acting on your behalf have the right to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. To exercise your right to opt out, you may use either of the methods described in the “Exercising Your California Privacy Rights” section below and indicate that you are exercising your right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information. 

      You may also opt out of interest-based advertising using the following third-party tools:

      • Exercising Your California Privacy Rights 

      To exercise any of the 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 

      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 personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. 

      17. NEVADA PRIVACY NOTICE 

      Residents of Nevada have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Information to third parties in certain circumstances. Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Information, as “sell” is defined under the Nevada law. 

      18. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY 

      We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy and post a link to the updated Privacy Policy on our Website. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. If we make any material changes, we will provide you with notice as required under applicable law.
