Third Party Pixels & Cookies
As you navigate through RUGA’s digital landscape, be it browsing our site, registering, logging in, or even opening an email from us, we and our partners employ cookies, pixels, and similar tech. This digital wizardry helps link your activities to information about you, like your email, which we then use to tailor our communication and marketing. If you’re not keen on this, you’ve got the power to opt out. Visit our opt-out page or check our support section for more on how we handle your digital footprint.
I: Information Collection & Use
When you engage in a transaction with our store, as part of the purchasing and selling procedure, we gather the personal information you provide, including but not limited to your name, address, and email address.
In addition to this, as you navigate through our store, we automatically capture your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This practice is essential for us as it aids in acquiring insights regarding your browser type and operating system, enabling us to enhance your browsing experience.
Email Marketing (where applicable): Subject to your consent, we may utilize your personal information to send you emails concerning our store, including announcements about new products and other relevant updates. This communication is aimed at keeping you informed and engaged with our latest offerings and developments.
II: Consent
When you entrust us with your personal information for the purpose of conducting a transaction, such as making a purchase or processing a return, we interpret this as your consent for us to collect and use your information solely for the specified transaction. Should we wish to use your personal information for a secondary purpose, like marketing, we will seek your explicit consent or offer you an opportunity to decline.
III: Security
Safeguarding your personal information is a top priority. We employ a mix of precautionary measures and adhere to the best practices in the industry to ensure your data is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. For sensitive data like credit card information, we utilize secure socket layer (SSL) technology for encryption, alongside AES-256 encryption for storage, to provide a secure transaction environment.
We recognize that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed as entirely secure. However, we are committed to following all Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) guidelines and incorporate additional, widely accepted industry standards to enhance the security of your personal information.
IV: Third-Party Services
Our trusted third-party partners are essential in providing a seamless RUGA experience. They only handle your personal information for tasks like processing payments or shipping your RUGA gear and do so with the utmost respect for your privacy. Yet, these partners have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review these, particularly for services like payment gateways or transaction processors, to fully understand how they will treat your information.
Be aware that these third parties may operate under different legal jurisdictions. This means if you’re in one country but the service provider is in another, the handling of your personal information could be subject to laws foreign to you.
When navigating away from the RUGA website, through third-party links, you’re stepping into a space that our privacy policy doesn’t cover. We advise you to check out their privacy practices to stay informed.
