1. Collected Information

We will ask you when we need information that identifies you individually to StewMac or allows us to contact you directly ("Personal Information").

StewMac collects several types of information from and about you. Typically, the information falls into two categories: "Personally Identifiable Information" and "Non-Personally Identifiable Information."

Personally Identifiable Information. For the purposes of this Policy, "Personally Identifiable Information" means: information that identifies a particular individual, such as an individual’s name, postal address, geographical location, email address, and phone number. We may ask for Personally Identifiable Information when you purchase a product, enter a contest or sweepstake, request a service, complete a survey, subscribe to newsletters, or engage in some other activity on our Website.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. For the purposes of this Policy, "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" means: any information, recorded in any form, about more than one individual where the identity of the individuals is not known and cannot be inferred from the information. When you visit the Website, we may collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information, including information about your hardware, IP address, MAC address browser type, operating system, pages visited on our Website, system trouble shooting purposes, order verification, referring and exit pages, and the dates and times when you visit our Website.

We do not control these third-parties' tracking technologies or how they are used. The use of tracking technologies by such third-party advertisers or ad servers is not subject to this Policy, but is subject to the privacy policies of those third-parties. StewMac uses the ad server of Google AdWords. If you have any questions or concerns about Google AdWords, you can set the preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to, you can opt-out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin. StewMac also uses the analytic companies of Facebook Pixel. Facebook Pixel is used to help the Company measure the effectiveness of advertising by understanding how you use the Company’s Website.

11. Transferring Personal Information from the EU to the US

StewMac is headquartered in the United States. Information you provide to us or we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States is not currently considered by the EU to provide an adequate level of data protection. We therefore rely on exceptions listed in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). In particular, we collect and transfer your personal information to the United States only: with your consent; to perform services under the contracts we have in place with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of StewMac that does not outweigh your rights or freedoms. We strive to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it only as described in this Policy. We also enter into data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with our vendors, whenever feasible and appropriate.

Depending on the location from where you access the Website, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of certain personal information covered by this Policy and exercise all other rights set forth in Articles 15-22 of the GDPR. You may also have the right to request that we refrain from processing your personal information.

Please bear in mind that if you exercise such rights this may affect our ability to provide our products and services. For inquiries about your personal information, please call 800-848-2273 or Contact Us. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we also reserve the right to impose certain restrictions and requirements on such requests, if allowed or required by applicable laws. Please note that it may take some time to process your request.

For more information regarding the GDPR and data transfers, please go to: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/justice-and-fundamental-rights/data-protection/2018-reform-eu-data-protection-rules_en.

12. Our Commitment to Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards.
