What Information Do We Collect?
Limited Personal Information: We may collect certain personal information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including: (a) when you register to use the Service, we may collect the personal information through our online registration form, such as your first name, last name, email address, mailing address, phone number, username, password and other information detailed therein; (b) if you pay your fees by credit card, we (or a third-party payment processor acting on our behalf) will collect the name, expiration date and credit card number for the relevant card; and (c) if you communicate with us by email but do not otherwise register to use the Service, we will collect your email address. All of this information is referred to in this Policy as “Personal Information.” If you contact ShopShops or another user and disclose additional personal information, we may store that information.
From time-to-time, we may offer functionality on the Service permitting you to connect the Service to your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media accounts (your “Social Media Accounts”) or messaging services (your “Messaging Service Accounts”). If you choose to connect your ShopShops account with any Social Media Accounts or Messaging Service Accounts, we may access and collect certain personal information (such as your name and email address) that your privacy settings on such Social Media Accounts and Messaging Service Accounts permit us to access.
User Data: “User Data” means all data—other than Personal Information—that users provide us regarding or related to themselves or their use of or access to the Service. As described in the Terms of Service, we store User Data and correlate User Data with third-party data in order to provide the Service.
Web Tracking Information: We and our Service Providers (defined below) may use web tracking technologies such as pixel tags and clear GIFs in order to operate the Service efficiently and to collect data related to usage of the Service. Such collected data (“Web Tracking Information”) may include the address of other websites you have visited, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device model, device ID and other unique device identifiers, what pages in the Service you visit and what links you clicked on, and whether you opened email communications we send to you. We and our Service Providers may also use web tracking technologies that are placed in web pages on the Service or in email communications to collect information about actions that users take when they interact with the Service or such email communications. We do not correlate Web Tracking Information to individual user Personal Information. Some Web Tracking Information may include data, such as IP address data, that is unique to you. We use this information not to identify individual users, but to analyze trends, administer the Service, track users’ movements around the Service, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole which provides us with the ability to determine aggregate information about our user base and usage patterns.
A “Cookie” is a small text file or record that is stored on a user’s computer when you use the Service, which collects information about your activities on the Service. Cookies transmit this information back to the computers at ShopShops or our third-party distributors of banners and newsletters; these computers are, generally speaking, the only computers which are authorized to read such information. The information captured makes it possible for us to: (i) speed navigation, and provide you with custom tailored content; (ii) remember information you give to us, so you don’t have to reenter it each time you use the Service; (iii) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; and (iv) monitor total number of visitors, pages viewed, and the total number of banners served. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a Cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off Cookie placement. Also, by not using Cookies, your overall internet browsing experience will be affected.
We use Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Apple Search Ads, and other third parties to serve ads for our Services across various websites. To opt-out of this type of advertising by Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use of your data, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. You can change your advertising preferences on Facebook in your Ad Preferences page, and opt out of personalized ads on your Apple iOS device in your Privacy & Security settings. Opting out or otherwise changing your ad preferences will not affect your use of the Service.
We use analytics services, including Google Analytics and Amplitude, to assist us with analyzing our website traffic. These services utilize cookies and other technologies that collect your Personal Information. To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites. For more information about Amplitude’s privacy practices, please visit their Privacy Notice here.
Most browsers provide you with the ability to block, delete, or disable cookies, and your mobile device may allow you to disable transmission of unique identifiers and location data. You will need to renew this choice if you clear your browser cookies or if you use a different browser or device. Please review the help pages of your browser or mobile device for assistance with changing your settings. We do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals sent to us by your browser at this time.
