Chubbies Privacy Policy

We enjoy many things, two in particular are crushing the weekend and protecting our customers’ privacy. We appreciate you visiting our website, www.chubbiesshorts.com (the "Site") and our mobile application (the "App") owned and operated by Chubbies Inc., (“Chubbies,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). Here at Chubbies we believe that you have a right to know what information we collect from you, this is the good ole U S of A after all. We want you to understand our commitment to protecting your privacy. We’ve created this Privacy Policy to let you know what to expect when you interact with us on the Site, App, or through our related online and offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time and we will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site and taking other actions as required by applicable law. We recommend that you consult this policy regularly for any changes.

By using our Services, you agree to the use, disclosure and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. You may provide information to Chubbies in a variety of ways, including: making online or in-store purchases, participating in surveys, during events such as sweepstakes, and requesting Services or information. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to third party websites ("Third Party Services"), such as, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, that we do not own or control, even if you access them through the Services. We try to work only with Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, but we cannot take responsibility for their practices, content, or privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access so that you know how they will use and share your information.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our primary goals in collecting information are to improve our Site, App, Services, features and content, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site and App. The information we collect from you falls into two categories: information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Personal Information”) and information that, by itself, does not identify and cannot be used to identify a natural person (“Non-Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy includes information about both types and will tell you how we might collect and use each.

Personal Information we may collect from you includes:

YOUR NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS
LIVE CHATS AND CUSTOMER SERVICES PHONE CALLS
RESPONSES TO ANY ONLINE SURVEYS RUN BY CHUBBIES, EITHER ON OUR WEBSITE OR VIA OUR EMAIL LIST
YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION (ALTHOUGH WE USE A THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR), BILLING ADDRESS AND SHIPPING ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER
THE IP ADDRESS OF THE COMPUTER YOU USE TO ACCESS OUR SERVICES, POTENTIALLY INCLUDING LOCATION DATA BASED OFF OF THAT IP ADDRESS
CONTENT YOU PROVIDE ON INTERACTIVE FEATURES (E.G., SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, OUR BLOG, PURCHASE REVIEWS, ETC.)

We may also collect some of the following Non-Personal Information from you:

Depending on where you are located, Non-Personal Information may be considered “personal data” and/or “personal information” under applicable data protection laws.

Cookies and Pixel Tags

Like many websites, we use "cookies," pixel tags, and other technologies to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site and App, to better understand how you interact with the Site and App and to monitor aggregate usage by Chubbies Users and web traffic routing on the Site and App. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site, App and Service and then close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site, App or all functionality of the Service.

Analytics

We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect analytics information on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Phishing

Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to Chubbies and e-commerce companies generally. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your login information, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Please do not call Chubbies Customer Experience, as they are unable to take orders over the phone. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website.

Some parts of our Services can be linked up with other accounts you have, such as your Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. If you link to Third Party Services from our Services, we may collect some information about your use of the Third Party Service. We will only be able to collect the information if you've authorized the Third Party Service to provide us with that information or if you've made the information public.

If you wish to limit the information available to us, you should be sure to manage the privacy settings of your Third Party Services. One thing we won't ever store is your Third Party Service password.

De-Identified and/or Aggregated Information

We may also use Personal Information and other data about you to create de-identified and/or aggregated information. We may share de-identified and/or aggregated information, with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling, and to deliver targeted advertising about other products and services.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, payment processors, web analytics and improvement of the Site's features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Site and Service are used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Chubbies cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Chubbies or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

Chubbies is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect the information that we collect from or about you (including your Personal Information) from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "Personal Information" (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
