We collect information regarding any messages you send (such as feedback and interactions with customer support) or publicly post. You may also choose to voluntarily provide other information to us that we do not request and if you do you are solely responsible for that information.

Information Collected Automatically:

Certain data is automatically collected when you use the Services. These include the following:

Service Use Data: This includes data about features you use, pages you visit, emails and advertisements you view, Products and Services you view and purchase, the time of day you browse, and your opening and exiting pages.
Device Data. We collect data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and device identifiers such as IP address and Ad Id.
Geo-locational Information. Certain features and functionalities of the Services may be based on your location. In order to provide these features and functionalities while you are using a mobile device, we may automatically collect geo-locational information from your mobile device or wireless carrier and/or certain service providers. Collection of this information occurs only when the Services are running on your mobile device. You may decline to allow us to collect such information by adjusting your browser settings, in which case we will not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

We use various tracking technologies to automatically collect information when you use access the Sites, purchase the Products or use the Services, including the following:

Like most websites, we use automatic data collection technology when you visit our Sites to collect information that identifies your computer. This comprises information about your operating system, your IP addresses, browser type and language, referring pages and URLs, keywords, date and time, and what sections of the Sites you visit (the “usage information”). We collect this usage information by using cookies. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive. Some cookies are used so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit and your preferences. They help personalize your experience, support security features, and bring you advertising both on and off our Sites. Other cookies we use help you navigate our Sites and expire when you close your browser. We also use cookies (and the usage information collected) to help us identify you and analyze how you use the Sites and Services. You can reject cookies by following the directions provided by your browser vendor or by your Internet provider’s “help” file. If you reject cookies, you may still use the Services, but may not be able to use some areas of the Sites and Services. SLAMgoods uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.
Pixels are also known as web beacons, code embedded in a website, video, email or advertisement that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from separate entities that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Services, and provide you additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Services with you social media account.

For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Analytics and Advertising” and “How Can You Control Your Personal Information” sections below.

Analytics and Advertising

We use one or more analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your use of the Services, compile reports on activity (based on our partners’ collection of IP addresses, internet service provider, browser type, operating system and language, referring and exist pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Sites you visit, number of links clicked while on the Sites, search terms and other similar usage information), and analyze performance metrics. These partners use cookies to collect this usage information. By accessing and using the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by these other entities in the manner and for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. For more information about how to opt out of having your information used by Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

We share your usage information with technology services for ad distribution and ad optimization (defined as the tailoring, targeting (i.e., behavioral, contextual, and retargeting), analyzing, managing, reporting, and optimizing of ads). These technology services may use cookies, pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs), and/or other technologies to collect such usage information for such purposes. Pixel tags enable us, and these technology services, to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the site on which the pixel tag is located in order to learn which advertisement brings a user to a given site. You may opt-out of the tailoring of advertising based on information we collect. We also use technology services (for example, Google Adwords) to advertise to users of our Services on websites owned or operated by other entities. This means that we advertise to previous visitors to the Sites who have not completed a task on the Sites, such as leaving un-purchased items in your shopping cart. These technology services may include cookies to track your activities across time and services. We may use data we receive these technology services to match multiple devices associated with the same identifier as devices belonging to the same user or household. Where we are able to make such a match, we may use this information to deliver targeted advertisements across multiple devices on behalf of ourselves or other entities (“Interest-based Advertising”). Any data collected by technology services will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of such technology services. For more information on such technology services, including how to opt out from certain data collection, please see below.

We also use audience matching services to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Services or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us uploading a customer list to a technology service or incorporating a pixel from technology service into our own Service, and the technology service matching common factors between our data and their data. For instance, we incorporate the Facebook pixel on our Service and may share your email address with Facebook as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences. Some technology services may provide us with their own data, which is then uploaded into another technology service for matching common factors between those datasets.

As indicated above, vendors may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.

Google provides tools to allow you to opt-out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

To opt out of our using your data for Matched Ads or other third-party sharing for advertising and/or marketing purposes, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below and specify that you wish to opt-out of matched ads. We will request that the applicable technology service not serve you matched ads based on information we provide to it.

You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).

For further information on the types of tracking technologies we use on the Services and your rights and choices regarding analytics, Interest-based Advertising, and Matched Ads, please see the “Information Collected Automatically” and “How Can You Control Your Personal Information” sections.

Social Media Integrations.

We offer parts of our Products and Services through websites, apps, platforms, and services operated or controlled by separate entities. In addition, we integrate technologies operated or controlled by separate entities into parts of our Services. Some examples include:

Links to External Sites. Our Sites may contain links to websites, platforms, and other services not operated or controlled by us. (“External Sites”). We have no control over the privacy practices of these External Sites. As such, we are not responsible for the privacy policies of those External Sites.

Please note that when you interact with other entities, including when you leave our Services, those entities may independently collect information about you and solicit information from you. The information collected and store by those entities remains subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere.

Google provides tools to allow you to opt-out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptoutand by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. The companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are required by us to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving targeted ads from them, please visit (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices; (ii) for app targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices; and (iii) for targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).
You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).
Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt out options or programs.
Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Sites or Services may not function correctly.
You also may write to us directly if you wish to: (a) update or delete your contact information; (b) ask that we not share your personal information with third parties; or (c) request that we cease sending you promotional or other information via mail or e-mail.

VII. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

All the information you provide may be processed and stored, transferred, or accessed by entities around the world as described in this policy. We will take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We have put in place technical and organizational procedures designed to safeguard the information we collected on this Site. For example, we or our partners such as Shopify use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt important information, such as your credit card data, in an effort to prevent unauthorized access during transmission of your orders over the Internet. We incorporate standard industry practices suitable to the degree of sensitivity of the information involved to maintain the security of your personal information and to avoid its disclosure except as described in this policy. Your personal information may also be protected by the password you created when you registered at one of our Sites where this feature is offered. The confidentiality of any password is yours to protect. You may change it anytime by following the instructions at the Site where you registered. Although we use reasonable and appropriate efforts to assure that your data remains secure when maintained by us, security during Internet transmissions or within any system cannot be assured. SLAM employees are made aware of its privacy practices through periodic communications and training. Remember, however, that we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information, and we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any third party.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk.

Some Sites and publications, however, are intended for teens 13 and older but may include features or material that may be appealing to children under the age of 13. We encourage all parents to talk to their kids about online safety and to monitor their children’s use of the Internet. If you are a parent or guardian and you have reason to believe that we have collected personal information from your child in a manner not permitted by law, please contact us at [email protected] and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases to the extent required by applicable laws.

Additional Disclosures for Nevada Residents.

Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us as at [email protected]

XII. Additional Disclosures for California Residents.

California residents may have certain rights regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of their personal data. As defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, we engage in industry-standard advertising business practices that may be considered a sale. We do not knowingly sell personal data related to children under 16 years of age. SLAM has sold personal data in the last 12 months in the following ways:

By allowing advertising networks we partner with to place cookies or other tracking technologies through our sites;
By sharing hashed or pseudonymized identifiers with advertising networks to create audiences for use in online advertising.

California residents may have the right to request:

Disclosure of personal data we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you;
Deletion of your personal data that we maintain;
To opt out of the sale of your personal data.

How to Opt-Out and Other Privacy Choices

There are two categories of personal information SLAM may have about you which are not connected:

To opt out of the sale of your Profile Information, designate an authorized representative, make a general privacy request, or for more information, Contact us at [email protected] or as provided in this Privacy Policy.
Interactions with SLAM Sites that use identifiers that cannot directly identify you (“Cookie Data”). To opt out of the sale of Cookie Data use the cookie consent tools available as described above in Section VI.

SLAM may verify requests regarding Profile Information by confirming that you control the email address associated with your personal information. If necessary, and taking into account available technology, security and privacy concerns, and the burden on our business, we reserve the right to take additional steps or require additional information to verify your request.

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.

Other California Privacy Rights

You may opt out of having your personally identifiable information shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes by contacting SLAM at [email protected].

Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms. Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites and other online services with which a user communicates. There is no industry standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. SLAM currently does not take action in response to these signals.

XIII. Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in Europe.

Roles:
Data protection laws in Europe distinguish between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”).
SLAM acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our Services.
