Privacy Policy

SHOP MA, Inc. and its family of sites, ShopGlobal.com and SHOP.COM, (individually and collectively the "Site") is dedicated to protecting the privacy of our valued online customers (and has been since 1997). We created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate its firm commitment to the safety of your personal information. Our mission is to provide the most compelling shopping experience for our customers. We want you to feel safe while visiting the Site. This Privacy Policy outlines some of the types of personal information we receive and collect, and how we use that information. We hope this Privacy Policy will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.

This Privacy Policy covers the following information:

  1. The types of personally identifiable information collected about you during your relationship with SHOP MA, Inc.
  2. How we use and share the information that we collect from you.
  3. The choices you have about the collection, use and sharing of your personally identifiable information.
  4. The types of security procedures we take to safeguard your personally identifiable information.
  5. How you may access, update and change personally identifiable information you've provided.

  7. How you can ask questions, or send us comments about this Privacy Policy.
  8. Third Party Information. We may permit web analytics and other providers to collect and process information on our websites through the use of cookies, tracking pixels and other technologies. Some of these providers have information about you, including personal information, demographic information and interest reports. They may share this information with us and we may share your personal information with them. Third Party Information helps us to enhance and personalize our interactions with you so that the information you receive is more relevant to you. We use third party information for behavioral advertising, which lets us predict your preferences, and show you ads and send you emails that are more likely to interest you.

Our mission is to provide the most compelling shopping experience for our customers. We want you to feel safe while visiting the Site. This is why we ask you to read our policies and give your consent to proceed, enabling you to navigate in our websites knowing why we collect your information and how you can interact with our websites. When we process the information you give us, some types of which we outline below, our goal is to be clear about what information we collect and how you can make choices about your data. We listed some actions you may take as follows:

  1. Unsubscribe from marketing emails: For example, if you no longer desire to receive marketing emails on your email account, you can always click on the unsubscribe link provided in the footer of our emails. Please see instructions below.
  2. Accessing your data: You may want to access your data, or you would like to edit your data in case information is incorrect or incomplete. You may want to transfer your data within sites. The only thing you need to do is to follow the steps provided on below.
  3. Withdrawing consent: You may want to withdraw your consent; we will follow up on your request, we will collect no additional information and no longer be able to process your information. Please follow the instructions below.
  4. Deleting your data permanently: You may want us to forget about you. If you want us to delete your information from our database, we will be able to follow your request in a timely manner unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or for legal purposes. You acknowledge and agree that once we erase your information from our system, we will not be able to identify you. Therefore, if you attempt to come back to interact with our websites, all your information that we store for you for your convenience will no longer be available there. For example, your basic information such as profile, history, preferences will be gone. You may want to consider all of that before you make this decision. Please see instructions below.

We aim to maintain our websites as a safe place to interact; therefore, we have several systems in place to protect your information from accidental or malicious misuse or destruction. Because of this, it may take several steps to do what you asked, especially to erase your information. We may not immediately remove information from all areas of our systems. Therefore, it may take several days until we will be able to complete this task.

Please feel free to ask questions, or send us comments about this Privacy Policy.

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve the shopping experience at the Site.

  1. Types of Personally Identifiable Information We Collect: While you visit the Site we collect various types of personally identifiable information (PII). Here are the types of information we gather:
    1. Information You Provide Us. Much of the personally identifiable information we receive comes directly from customers who are interested in obtaining various products and services by shopping at the Site. Typically, this information includes your name, postal address, email address and telephone number. We may also collect other types of information such as gender, age, number of children, and personal interests, which we may associate with personally identifiable information. If you purchase products or services through the Site, we will note, for example, credit card information, the type of services or products ordered or purchased, and the date of the order or purchase. With your consent, we collect personal information when you register, log in to, or visit the Site, including when you participate in activities on the Site, such as by placing an order, completing a user registration form or online survey, creating an address book, using our shopping or gift services (including eGifts, gift certificates, gift registry, bridal registry, reminder service), or participating in a rebate offer, game, promotion, contest or sweepstakes.
    2. Information From Others. We are constantly improving the products and services we provide our customers. To aid in serving you better we may supplement personally identifiable information that we have collected directly from our customers with other information that we obtain from third parties or from our Partner Stores. In addition, we may obtain information about individuals who are not yet users of the Site. To ensure your privacy when we associate information that we obtain from third parties with personally identifiable information that we have collected under this Privacy Policy, we will treat the acquired information like the information that we collected ourselves.
    3. Information Collected Through Technology. We collect information through technology to make the Site more interesting and useful to you. For instance, when you come to the Site, we collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the internet, like your ISP (internet service provider), your company or your university. Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, we also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our customers visit various parts of the Site. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information as more fully described in paragraph 1a. above. We also use cookies. Please read our cookie policy to find out how it works. Our cookie policy is part of and incorporated into our Privacy Policy, which is part of and incorporated into our Terms of Use.

  4. Security Measures to protect your personal information

    The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and improper use. On a regular basis, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your email address, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Whether you're ordering a catalog or making a purchase, we want you to feel safe and secure while visiting the Site. You can also feel confident making purchases from established Co-Branded Partner sites. To ensure that your credit card information is even more secure, we use secure sockets layer (SSL) software (which encrypts the information you input) when you give us your credit card information. We encrypt all credit card information and store it on a server that isn't accessible on the internet. Once we store that information, it cannot be displayed anywhere on the Site. Internally, we take extra caution to limit access to customers' information. Only a few individuals within the company are given degrees of access to customers' personal information according to job function and necessity. Access is granted to these employees through special passwords. All employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. If you have any questions about security on the Site, you can send an email to us at [email protected]
