Protecting your privacy is really important to us. With this in mind, we’re providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive when you use our websites located at http://boltthreads.com/ and http://mylo-unleather.com/ (“Sites“). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Sites.
Any information that is collected via our Sites is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them on the Sites or by sending you an email or other notification, and we’ll update the “Last Updated Date” above to indicate when those changes will become effective.
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Sites, to administer your use of the Sites, to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Sites, to respond to your inquiries submitted via the Sites, and to periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails that directly promote our Sites and our services in response to your request.
Contact Information. If you submit an inquiry or sign up for a newsletter via the Sites (both referred to as “Requests“), we’ll collect certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name and email address (“PII”).
Information Collected Using Cookies and other Web Technologies. Like many website owners and operators, we use automated data collection tools such as Cookies and Web Beacons to collect certain information.
“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you access our Sites. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Sites and to tell us how and when you interact with our Sites. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Sites and to customize and improve our Sites. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Sites and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Sites. Some third-party service providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.
“Web Beacons” (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Sites for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Sites, to monitor how many visitors view our Sites, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
“Google Analytics“. We use Google Analytics and you can read more about how Google uses your information via Google Analytics here – www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. We have enabled some of the Google Analytics Advertising Features, specifically:
Information Related to Use of the Sites. Our servers automatically record certain information about how a person uses our Sites (we refer to this information as “Log Data”), whether or not you submit a Request. Log Data may include information such as a user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the web page that a user was visiting before accessing our Sites, the pages or features of our Sites to which a user browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, search terms, the links on our Sites that a user clicked on and other statistics. We use Log Data to administer the Sites and we analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize and enhance our Sites by expanding its features and functionality and tailoring them to our users’ needs and preferences.
Information Sent by Your Mobile Device. We collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use our Sites, like a device identifier, user settings, and the operating system of your device, as well as information about your use of our Sites.
We will not share any PII that we have collected from or regarding you except as described below:
Information Shared with Our Services Providers. We may engage third-party services providers to work with us to administer and provide the Sites and to respond to your Requests. These third-party services providers have access to your PII only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf. Currently we share PII with the following Service Providers:
Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions. Information that we collect from our users, including PII, is considered to be a business asset. Thus, if we are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition or asset sale or if our assets are acquired by a third party in the event we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your PII, may be disclosed or transferred to a third party acquirer in connection with the transaction.
Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate: (i) to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas); (ii) to protect our property, rights and safety and the property, rights and safety of a third party or the public in general; and (iii) to stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.
We offer you choices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your PII and we’ll respect the choices you make. You can choose to access the Sites without providing your PII. Your PII is only collected in connection with a Request. Please note that if you decide not to provide us with the PII that we request, you may not be able to access all of the features of the Sites.
Opt-Out. We may periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails that directly promote our Sites and our services. When you receive such promotional communications from us, you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” (by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive). We do need to send you certain communications regarding the Sites and you will not be able to opt out of those communications – e.g., communications regarding updates to this Privacy Policy. To opt-out of Google Analytics data collection, please use Google’s recommended opt-out solution.
Modifying Your Information. You can access and modify the PII associated with your Requests by email. If you want us to delete your PII, please contact us at privacy@boltthreads.com with your request. We’ll take steps to delete your information as soon we can, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records or as otherwise required by law.
Our Sites do not have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from various web browsers.
We take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect the information that we collect from or about you (including your PII) from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. 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.
Our Sites may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy. We’re not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
Your PII may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you’re located outside the United States and choose to provide your PII to us, we may transfer your PII to the United States and process it there.
Our Sites are not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected PII of a child under 13 we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.
