Do Not Track Disclosures

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not change our tracking practices (which are explained in more detail directly above) in response to "do-not-track" (DNT) settings in your web browser. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

Our third-party partners, such as ad networks, web analytics companies and social media and networking platforms, collect information about your online activities over time and across our Site and other online properties. These third parties may not change their tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser and we do not obligate these parties to honor DNT settings. Information about how to opt out from your data being used by third parties can be found above under "Site usage information, cookies and other information collected by automated means."

Social Networking

We maintain a presence on several social networking and blogging platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, Twitter, and Pinterest. We may incorporate some third-party social networking features onto our Site (including, allowing users to interact with others and share certain Site content and information on social media platforms) or utilize third-party provided platforms to publish or manage the Site or portions thereof. Through these platforms and features, we receive or may share information about you, and this Privacy Notice applies to that information as well. In addition, some providers of third-party social networking or blogging platforms we utilize (such as Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, Twitter, and Pinterest) have their own privacy policies which explain how the third parties that provide them may collect, use and protect your information ( e.g., if you establish an account with such platform providers directly). By using the social networking features, you agree to those third parties’ privacy policies and terms of use.

In addition, you may be able to use your Facebook or other social networking platform login to set up an account on the Site. If you wish to use your Facebook or other social media account to log into the Site, your information may be shared with us for the purpose of setting up your account on the Site and as otherwise provided in those platforms’ privacy policies and terms of use.

Mobile Apps

We may make available mobile applications (or "apps") that you are able to download and use from your mobile device. Depending on the nature and functionality of the app, we may collect personal information and non-personally identifiable usage information through the app, any features on your mobile device to which you grant us access. The app also may collect information about your mobile device, such as your ID for Advertisers (IDFA) or Advertising ID, the IP address of your mobile device, device type, operating system and connection information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 4G, 3G). If you opt-in, some of our apps may collect your device’s precise real-time location, and in such cases, you may be able to opt out from further allowing us to have access to such location data by managing your location preferences in the app and/or on your device.

Purchases made through the Site may be processed through a third-party payment processor, application, or other payment service provider (each, a "Payment Processor"). If applicable, you may be provided a notice when accessing the payment application or entering your payment information directing you to such Payment Processor’s terms of use and privacy policy, and all payments are governed by such terms of use and privacy policy.

Information for Individuals in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom

Legal basis for processing data

In this section, we identify the legal grounds on which we rely to process personal information.

In some cases, we have a legitimate interest to process the personal information that we collect, such as to develop, administer and support our products and services; to operate, evaluate and improve our business; to facilitate and manage engagement programs; to promote research; to support our recruitment activities; or to facilitate a Corporate Transaction (including a sale of assets or merger or acquisition).

In other cases, we process personal information to fulfill our contracts with business partners, such as third parties that distribute our products.

It may be also necessary for us to process personal information to establish, exercise or defend against fraud, illegal activity, and claims and other liabilities, including by enforcing the terms and conditions that govern the services we provide.

Our processing of certain information may be necessary to comply with our legal obligations, and for reasons of public interest, such as with respect to adverse event and product safety reporting.

We may also process personal information as specifically permitted by applicable legal requirements.

If we rely on consent for the processing of your personal information, we will seek such consent at the time we collect your personal information. For more information on consent, please see the "Additional international privacy preferences and rights" section of this Privacy Notice.

International data transfers

We may transfer your personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. For example, if you are located outside of the United States, we may transfer your personal information to the United States, where Shine Bathroom is headquartered. The countries to which we transfer personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer personal information across borders, we consider a variety of requirements that may apply to such transfers.

Specifically, we may transfer personal information from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom to:

Countries that the European Commissions has deemed to adequately safeguard personal information,

Pursuant to the recipient’s compliance with standard contractual clauses, EU-US Privacy Shield, or Binding Corporate Rules,

Pursuant to the consent of the individual to whom the personal information pertains, or

As otherwise permitted by applicable EEA requirements.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

We comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union to the United States. We have certified to the Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall take precedence. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, the Privacy Shield Principles and to view our certification, please visit www.privacyshield.gov .

As described in the Privacy Shield Principles , Shine Bathroom is accountable for personal information that it receives and subsequently transfers to third parties. If third parties that process personal information on our behalf do so in a manner that does not comply with the Privacy Shield Principles, we are accountable, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Should you feel that we have not complied with the Privacy Shield principles and the handling of your personal data and we have not been able to remedy your complaint ourselves, you may wish to contact JAMS who is our nominated alternative dispute resolution provider. To obtain more information or to file a complaint, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield .

As further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, binding arbitration will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints not resolved by any other means. We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Third-party advertising servers and networks

We may use third-party advertising companies, such as advertisers, advertising networks, advertising servers, and analytics companies (collectively, "Ad Partners") to serve ads when you visit the Site or elsewhere online. These companies may use information about your visits to this Site and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. These advertisements may appear on this Site and on other Web sites. These companies may employ cookies, clear GIFs and other tracking technologies to cause relevant ads to be displayed to you. For more information about third-party advertisers and how to prevent them from using your information, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s consumer Web site at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Web site at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ .

Sharing information with third parties

As we describe in the "How We May Share Information about You with Others" section above, you may opt out of certain information sharing following the instructions in the "Opt In and Opt Out" section above.

Your California privacy rights

California’s "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. As discussed above, if we share Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes you will be able to elect for us not to do so by emailing us at privacy@shinebathroom.com (please include your name, mailing address, and email address). To find out more about your opt-out rights, see the "Opt In and Opt Out" section above.

Additional international privacy preferences and rights

Individuals in certain jurisdictions, like the EEA, have certain rights and choices regarding our processing of their personal information. We have appointed a data protection officer ("DPO") as a point of contact for exercising these rights. Please see the "How to Contact Us" section below for the DPO’s contact information. In some cases where your personal information is accessible through an online portal or platform, you may be able to directly exercise these rights by following the instructions on the portal or platform.

Please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information, we may be precluded from providing our products or services to individuals who exercise these rights, or from otherwise engaging with such individuals going forward.

We reserve the right to verify the identity of the individual in connection with any requests regarding personal information to help ensure that we provide the information to individuals to whom the information pertains and allow only those individuals or their authorized representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information.

For information about the rights and choices users have with respect to cookies and online tracking, please see the " Site usage information, cookies and other information collected by automated means " section of this Privacy Notice.

How we Protect Personal Information

We use various efforts intended to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information collected on our Sites.

If you correspond with us by e-mail, text message or using Web forms like a "contact us" feature on our Sites, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure from access by unauthorized parties.

Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account.

If we believe that the security of your personal information in our care may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you. If we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail to the most recent e-mail address you have provided us in your account profile. Please keep your e-mail address in your account up to date. You can change that e-mail address any time in your account profile. If you receive a notice from us, you can print it to retain a copy of it. To receive these notices, you must check your e-mail account using your computer or mobile device and email application software. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.

You can make this election any time, and it will apply to notifications we make after a reasonable time thereafter for us to process your request.

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit the website, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, remember preferences and generally improve the user experience. They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through tracking your browsing across websites.

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser and persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example to remember your user preferences when you return to the site).

What types of cookies do we use?

We describe the categories of cookies we and our contractors use below.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (such as navigating between pages) cannot be provided.

Performance Cookies

We make use of analytics cookies to analyze how our visitors use our Website and to monitor Website performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website. The information collected by these cookies is not associated with your personal information by us or by our contractors.

We permit Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers to set performance cookies on the Website. You can opt out of Google Analytics here and other third-party analytics providers as described here

Local Shared Objects (“flash cookies”)

In addition to the above cookies, we may use Local Shared Objects, also referred to as “flash cookies,” on our Website. These are used to enhance your user experience, for example, by storing your user preferences and settings.
