PRIVACY POLICY

BAUER Hockey (“BAUER”) is committed to respecting the privacy rights of website visitors. The following policy describes how we collect, protect, use, and share information we receive from you.

 

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Account and Sales Information

We collect information from you when you register an account, enter contests, or otherwise provide us with your information. The information we may collect from you includes your name, e-mail address, mailing and billing address, website username and password, phone number, payment information, product sizing information and other information we may request from you or you may provide to us, including images of your body which we use to gather measurements on appropriate product sizes.

Website and Online Activity

Like many websites, we use various technologies to collect information when you access or use the website, including “cookies.” Please refer to the “Cookies” and Similar Technologies section below for information about cookies and how we use them.

 

BODY MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

BAUER offers measuring tools that can help you find your product size. These tools are available through the Apple Store or Google Play as downloadable mobile applications or can be accessed through our website at www.bauer.com. Our measurement tools provide users the option to either manually enter body measurements or to have a photograph or video taken of your clothed body that is processed, programmatically, by the mobile measurement application and used to determine products that best fit your body profile.


You control how and when the photographs and videos are taken. You agree that any photograph or video you provide shall not be pornographic, lewd or otherwise offensive to members of BAUER and we reserve the right to refuse access to our mobile services to any user who provides such photographs or videos. Our systems automatically delete photographs and videos related to measurements once they are processed. Photographs and videos are protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use Bauer's body measurement technology.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We may use the information we collect from you to do the following:
  • To allow us to better service you and respond to your customer service requests
  • To learn about site visitors and customers so we can tailor content, features, and functionalities to better serve your preferences
  • To provide details around fit and product sizing

 

Visitors who register on our website, mobile applications or participate in our marketing programs will be given a choice to opt-in to our e-mail marketing list and receive marketing e-mail communications from BAUER or opt-out and choose not to receive email marketing communications from BAUER.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties if we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to: (i) conduct investigations of possible breaches of law; (ii) cooperate in any legal investigation; or (iii) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property. We may also disclose your information to third parties if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of BAUER or our visitors and customers; or (d) protect BAUER’s property rights;
  • if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party; and

If you turn off cookies, you may not have access to features that make your site experience more efficient -- like the features mentioned above -- and some of our services may not function properly.

    Changing cookies on your browser will not change the way you are tracked on a mobile device. You can adjust your tracking preferences on your mobile device through your device settings.

    We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in analyzing cookies and similar technologies. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how our website performs and how you use it.

    INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

    When you visit our Site, both we and certain third parties collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests. You may see certain ads on other websites because we participate in advertising networks administered by third-parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across different sites by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third party advertising cookies and pixel tags. The networks use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. The information our ad network vendors collect includes information about your visit to our website, such as the pages you have viewed. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. You may opt out of interest-based advertising by third parties (including on our behalf) by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)’s self-regulatory opt out page. You must opt out separately on each device (including each web browser on each device) that you use, and if you clear your cookies or if you use a different browser or device, you will need to renew your opt-out preferences.

    INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

    Please be aware that some of the third-party service providers with whom we may share your information are located outside of the United States. As a result, your information may be transferred from another country into the United States or out of the United States to another country. Some of these countries (including the United States) may not have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence. To the extent required by applicable law, we ensure that international transfers of your information are subject to appropriate protections, such as standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission.
