The Purpose for which Information is Collected

Providing and Improving Our Services. We use data to carry out your transaction and to provide our services to you. We also use data to diagnose product issues, service problems, troubleshoot issues and orders, and provide other customer care and support services. We use data collected to continually improve our user experience, including adding new features or capabilities, such as using error reports to improve security features and determining what new features to prioritize. Data is also used to develop aggregate analysis and business intelligence that enable us to operate, protect, make informed decisions, and report on the performance of our business.

For example, we may contact you by email or other means to inform you when we have special sales, a new band announcement or other related band content, remind you about items left in your online shopping cart, invite you to participate in a survey, or tell you that you need to take action regarding an order. Additionally, you can sign up for email subscriptions and choose whether you wish to receive promotional communications from MerchBooth.net by email.

Reasons We Share Personal Data

We may share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to provide our services. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction. In addition, we share personal data among MerchBooth.net-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. MerchBooth.net may use from time to time a limited number of third-party service providers, contractors, and other businesses to assist us in providing our solutions to our customers or for the purposes described in this statement. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.

Compliance; Protection. We will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data, including your content when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:

  1. comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;

  2. protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of our products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;

  3. operate and maintain the security of our products, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or

  4. protect the rights or property of MerchBooth.net, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services.

MerchBooth.net does not own or possess the servers your information is stored on. Our e-commerce solution provider Big Commerce.com is the owner of the servers where your information is stored. All of their servers are securely encrypted and located in the U.S.A. They hold the same principles and standards to keep your data secure. You can review their privacy policy here https://www.bigcommerce.com/privacy/

Accountability for Onward Transfer

If MerchBooth.net discloses Personal Data covered by this Policy to a non-agent third party, it will do so consistent with any notice provided to data subjects and any choice they have exercised regarding such disclosure. MerchBooth.net will only disclose Personal Data to third-party agents that have given us contractual assurances that they will provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the principles underlying the Privacy Shield (the “Principles”) and that they will process Personal Data for limited and specific purposes consistent with any consent provided by the individual. If MerchBooth.net has knowledge that a third party to which it has disclosed Personal Data covered by this Policy is processing such Personal Data in a way that is contrary to this Policy and/or the Principles, MerchBooth.net will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such processing. In such case, the third-party is liable for damages unless it is proven that MerchBooth.net is responsible for the event giving rise to the violation.

Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information

Whenever you purchase from our site, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it — unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).

We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

Transparency and Choice

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. For example, our customers can:

  • Review and control certain types of information tied to your MerchBooth.net Account by logging into their MerchBooth.net account.

  • Control who you share information with through your MerchBooth.net Account.

You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us.

 

Security of Personal Data

MerchBooth.net is committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When we transmit highly confidential data (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption.
