Privacy Policy BrainTap
We know that you care about how your information is used, and we appreciate your trust that we will handle it carefully and responsibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting our website, you agree to the privacy policy described below.
1. What Personal Information Do We Collect?
Information You Provide to Us
We receive and store information that you provide to us. For example, when you search for or purchase a product or service, or when you provide information such as your address, phone number, or credit card details. You may choose not to provide certain information; however, this may limit your ability to benefit from some of our features.
We use the information you provide to respond to your requests, personalize your future shopping experience, improve our website, and communicate with you. We do not store credit card details in our system after the completion of a sale—such information is used solely for payment processing.
Additionally, if you choose to do so, we may share your information with other companies that offer products or services that may be of interest to you. Please see the “opt-in/opt-out choice” section in Section 4 of this policy.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we use “cookies.” Cookies are small files that we transfer to your hard drive and that allow us to recognize you and provide a personalized shopping experience. If you do not wish to accept cookies, you can easily disable them by accessing your browser’s toolbar, clicking the “Help” button, and following the instructions to prevent the browser from accepting cookies or to notify you when a new cookie is being received.
You may also visit this website and other websites anonymously by using tools provided by other private companies.
Other Information
Each computer connected to the Internet has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. The IP addresses of computers visiting this website are logged. In addition, we automatically collect other information such as email addresses, browser types, operating systems, and the URLs of websites visited before or after accessing this website.
Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. This may include, for example, updated delivery and address information from carriers or other sources, in order to correct our records and facilitate the delivery of your purchases or future communications.
2. How Do We Use Your Information?
Personalized Shopping
We use your information to serve you better by providing a personalized shopping experience. As mentioned above, you may choose to “opt out” of this personalization or visit and shop anonymously.
Agents
We employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending mail or emails, and processing credit card payments. These parties have access to the personal information necessary to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
Special Offers
From time to time, we may send you special offers unless you choose to “opt out” of receiving them. We may also send you special offers from other companies. In this case as well, you may choose to “opt out.” When we send offers from other companies, we do not share your personal information with them—the offers are sent directly by us. Please see the “opt-in/opt-out choice” section at the end of this policy.
Business Transfers
As our business develops, we may sell or purchase stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information is typically one of the transferred assets. Additionally, in the unlikely event that our company is acquired, customer information will be part of the transferred assets.
Compliance with the Law
If we receive a lawful court order to disclose account information or other personal data, we will comply with the law. We may also disclose information when necessary to protect the life, safety, or property of others. This includes sharing information with other companies and organizations for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.
3. How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?
We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you enter.
We use encryption to protect the information contained in our customer database.
We use a firewall to prevent unauthorized access.
Access to your information is restricted based on the “need-to-know” principle.
When confirming an order, we display only the last five digits of your credit card number. Of course, the full transmission of the credit card number to the card processing company is required in order to process the transaction.
It is important that you protect against unauthorized access to your password and computer. Please make sure to log out when using a shared computer.
No system can guarantee absolute security, just as no physical lock can guarantee complete physical safety. However, we take all reasonable measures to ensure the security of your data.
4. Your Choice: Opt-In or Opt-Out
It is your choice whether you wish to receive emails or special offers from us or from third parties. The following section provides you with this option. Please note the default settings.
- I want to receive emails or other communications with special offers for your products and services.
- I do not want to receive emails or other communications with special offers for your products and services.
- I want to receive emails or other communications with special offers for similar products or services from other companies.
- I do not want to receive emails or other communications with special offers for similar products or services from other companies.
