PERSONAL DATA COLLECTION

If you browse our website, you may generally do so anonymously without providing any personal information.  However, there are cases where we collect personal data – you will know this data is being collected because you will have to provide it such as by filling out a form.  We collect personally identifiable and transactional information when you: (1) purchase products or services from the site (2) register for an account, (3) request to receive additional information regarding products and services, or (4) send us a question. If you choose not to give information we request, you can still visit most of our website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services.  We may combine the information you submit under your account with other information that we may receive from you, from third parties, or with other public demographic information.

In case you change your mind or wish to update or delete your personal information, we will endeavor to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us.  You can do this by contacting Customer Care using the contact information specified below.

PRODUCT ORDERS

When you place an order for a product, we need to know your contact information, shipping information, e-mail address and payment card information (such as payment card name, card number, CVV and expiration date).   This information is required so that payment can be authorized by a third party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) that we have retained to process payments made via the site. All payment card information is provided directly to the Payment Processor and not to Do it Best (i.e., we do not receive or store your credit card information in connection with payments authorized through the site). All Internet transactions with the Payment Processor are performed on a server that uses industry standard encryption technology to protect your payment card information from being obtained by unauthorized third parties. Use of your payment and transaction information will be subject to the privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer. We are not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor or for any security breaches suffered by such entity. In connection with your use of the site, Do it Best may obtain certain payment transaction details from the Payment Processor, which we will use solely in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  We also use your order information to fulfill your order and send an order or shipping confirmation, as well as notify you of your order status.

MARKETING MESSAGES

When you purchase products online from us, request product information or otherwise provide us with personal information, we may automatically place you on a list to receive promotional mailings and e-mails regarding special offers from Do it Best, its affiliates and the Do it Best member with whom you have placed your order. If you do not wish to receive these messages, you can simply utilize the opt-out method detailed in the message, respond to any email by telling us that you do not want to receive any future communications, or contact Customer Care using the contact information specified below. You may not opt-out of receiving essential updates regarding your account.

USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA

We may use personal information about you and your use of the site to offer you tailored content and to notify you of offers (concerning Do it Best, its affiliates and the Do it Best member with whom you have placed your order). Personal information that you provide will be used for marketing and promotional purposes only by Do it Best and its corporate affiliates and the Do it Best member with whom you have placed your order.

 We may share your personal information as follows:

  • Among our corporate affiliates;
  • With the Do it Best member with whom you have placed your order;
  • With third party agents we have hired to help us provide a good or service you have requested (for example, in connection with your order, we would provide your payment card information to the Payment Processor and your address to a shipping company);
  • With third party companies that we have retained to assist us for processing, security, credit or fraud prevention purposes (and who have agreed in writing not to use the information for unauthorized purposes); and
  • In the Special Cases set forth below.

We do not rent or sell to third parties your personally identifiable information for such parties’ own marketing purposes.

 We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. This data is used to customize our website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our users.

ONLINE TRACKING AND PASSIVE COLLECTION

CONVERSION TRACKING

Search engines offer a feature called “conversion tracking” which is a way to track clicks to sales from either search results or ads on search engines. Using either web beacons or visible images, depending upon the search engine, the search engine notes and saves information in a cookie with non-personal information such as time of day, browser type, browser language, and IP address with each query. Information is gathered in the aggregate, without unique personal data. Conversion tracking allows the search engine company and Do it Best to track clicks to sales, including the number of clicks (“visits”) it takes before a purchase is made and permits us to measure the effectiveness of our search engine  participation.]
