Cookies:

We automatically collect information through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files stored by your Web browser.

We also contract with analytics services and third-party advertising companies to collect similar information for specific purposes. The use of cookies by our partners is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

 

Web Beacons / Pixels:

Web beacons, also called pixel tags or tracking pixels, are invisible images as small as 1x1 pixel in size that are embedded in web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interact with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

 

Local storage:

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve your experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences, and speeding up site functionality.

 

Other similar technologies:

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs, device fingerprinting, and tags for similar purposes

 

Targeted Advertising:

Third-party advertising companies serve ads on our behalf across the Internet. They may collect information about your browsing activities through cookies on other sites, and then display targeted ads on various sites that you visit. We may share data collected on our websites and applications may be transferred to third-party advertising partners.  This information may also be shared with their demand partners for interest-based advertising.

Your interactions with our social media pages and profiles are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it. We may post Springbok Puzzles information on social media sites. Your comments and other reactions will be visible if you respond.

We will retain de-identified information after your account has been closed, but we will destroy your Personal Information when it is no longer needed for the foregoing purposes.

 

Right to Choose (Opt-Out):

You may choose not to provide information to us, and most Internet browsers offer some controls over the automatic collection of information from your computer.

Interest-based advertising opt-out:

You may opt out of our targeted advertising and the targeted advertising of certain providers by visiting the DAA consumer opt-out page at https://www.aboutads.info/choices .

Further information on opting out on mobile devices can also be found on the NAI's website ( https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/ ).  You may also select a system-level advertising preference feature on your device to opt-out of your device from interest-based advertising in apps.

8. State Privacy Laws

Without being discriminated against for exercising these rights, California residents have the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, delete that information, and to opt-out of the sale of their Personal Information, subject to certain restrictions. You also have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. This section describes how to exercise those rights and our process for handling those requests. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request.

 

Right to Request Access to Your Personal Information:

California residents have the right to request that we disclose what categories of Personal Information that we collect, use, or sell. You may also request the specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected from you. However, we may withhold some Personal Information where the risk to you or our business is too great to disclose the information.

 

Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information:

You may also request that we delete any Personal Information that we have collected from you. However, we may retain Personal Information necessary to (a) protect our business, systems, and users from fraudulent activity, (b) address technical issues that impair existing functionality, (c) ensure that we or others can exercise their free speech or other rights, (d) comply with law enforcement requests pursuant to lawful process, (e) for our own internal purposes reasonably related to your relationship with us, or to comply with legal obligations.

Authorized Agents:

You may designate an agent to make requests to exercise your rights under CCPA as described above.

Verifying Requests:

For security purposes, we will verify your identity – in part by verifying your email account or requesting certain information from you - when you request to exercise your California privacy rights. Once we have verified your identity (and your agent, as applicable), we will respond to your request as appropriate.

 

9. Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.  

California law defines sales broadly. Depending on the product/services you use and how you use them, we may have sold (as defined under the CCPA) the following categories of information about you in the last 12 months to categories of third parties such as data analytics providers and advertising networks: Connection or usage data, Cookie or device ID, browser or device fingerprints, Geolocation information, Commercial information, and Inferences drawn from browsing history.

If you are a California resident and would like to opt-out of the sale of your information you may do so by contacting us at Info@springbok-puzzles.com.  

When you opt-out we will place a cookie on your device to identify and register your preference. This only applies to the browser you were using and only to the device you were using at the time you registered your preference. If you access Springbok Puzzles websites from other browsers or devices, you will also need to make this selection on each browser and device. If you clear cookies on your browser after opt-out, your browser will no longer remember your preference, and you will need to reset your preference.

 

Advertising – Limit Ad Tracking. On Android devices, open the Google Settings app from your app drawer or from your operating system's settings menu, tap Ads, and select "Opt-out of Interest-based ads”.

Notice of Financial Incentive

Springbok Puzzles may provide special offers and benefits to customers who participate in our Loyalty Program or sign up to receive communications from us via email, text, chat, and social media. The information we request from customers when they sign up may include the customer's email address or phone number as well as the name, partial birthdate, product preferences or other information that allows us to tailor our communications. These incentives may result in differences in our prices or services offered to consumers and may include the lower price for goods and services (e.g., discounts and other promotions).

Please note that participating in any financial incentive program is entirely optional and participants may withdraw from the program at any time. Customers may opt-in online or in stores and can opt out of the programs at any time by contacting by using the unsubscribe methods provided for that communication channel such as unsubscribe links in email messages.

Each financial incentive or price or service difference related to the collection and use of personal information is based upon our reasonable, good-faith determination of the estimated value of such information to our business, taking into consideration the value of the offer itself and the anticipated revenue generation that may be realized by rewarding brand loyalty and repeat purchases.

 

Other California Rights

The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of Personal Information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
