WHY AND HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We use your personal data in the following ways:
To Provide the Features of the Sites, Apps, and Services You Request
When you use our Services, we will use your personal data to provide the requested product or service. For example, if you make a purchase through our Services or participate in an event or promotion, we will use the contact information you give us to communicate with you about the purchase, event or promotion. If you contact our consumer services, we will use information about you, such as delivery or payment information, or the product you have purchased to help you resolve a problem or question.
In some cases, to use particular features within our Services, you may need to provide us with additional data or additional consent to use particular data in a certain way. For example, to share content on social media, you may be required to provide your social media account credentials to sign in.
To Communicate Information about our Products, Services, Events and for Other Promotional Purposes
When you consent, we will send you marketing communications and news concerning our products, services, events and other promotions. You can opt-out at any time after you have given your consent.
If you are an existing customer of ours (for example, if you have placed an order with us), we may use the contact details you provided to send you marketing communications about similar products or services where permitted by applicable law (unless you have opted-out). In other cases, we ask for your consent to send you marketing information. We may use the information that you provide to us as well as information from our other products or services (such as your use of our Services, your visits to or purchases made in our stores, your participation in our events and contests) to personalize communications on products and services that may be interesting for you.
To Operate, Improve and Maintain our Business, Products and Services
We use the personal data you provide to us to operate our business. For example, when you make a purchase, we use that information for accounting, audits and other internal functions. We may use personal data about how you use our products and services to enhance your user experience and to help us diagnose technical and service problems and administer our Services. We may also record your calls with our customer service to handle your inquiry and for training, research and product development purposes.
To Protect Our or Others' Rights, Property or Safety
We may also use your personal data about how you use our Services to prevent or detect fraud, abuse, illegal use, violations of our Terms of Use, and to comply with court orders, governmental requests or applicable law.
For General Research and Analysis Purposes
We use data about how our visitors use our Services to understand customer behavior or preferences. For example, we may use information about how visitors to our Sites search for and find products to better understand the best ways to organize and present product offerings in our storefront.
Other Purposes
We may also use your personal data in other ways and will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent where necessary.
Legal Grounds
To process your personal data, we rely on certain legal grounds, depending on how you interact with our Services.
- When you purchase products from our Services, we need your personal data to fulfill our contract with you. For example, we need your payment and contact details to deliver your order.
- When you use our Apps, we rely on your consent for processing and for certain limited purposes to fulfill our contract with you (for example, for in-App purchases).
- We also rely on other legal grounds, such as our legitimate interests as a business, to comply with a legal obligation, or to protect your vital interests.
Legal Ground for Processing Personal Data Under The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the personal data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
We may process your personal data because:
- We need to perform a contract with you
- You have given us permission to do so
- The processing is in our legitimate interests and it is not overridden by your rights
- For payment processing purposes
- To comply with the law
SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
From time to time we establish business relationships with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and your personal data is sometimes shared with:
- Third party service providers process personal data on our behalf, for example to process credit cards and payments, shipping and deliveries, host, manage and service our data, distribute emails, send mailers, research and analysis, manage brand and product promotions as well as administering certain services and features. We may share your information when we team up with another company to offer or provide products, services, contests, or promotions to our customers. When using third party service providers we enter into agreements that require them to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.
- Other third parties to the extent necessary to: (i) comply with a government request, a court order or applicable law; (ii) prevent illegal uses of our Services or violations of our Sites' and the Apps' Terms of Use and our policies; (iii) defend ourselves against third party claims; and (iv) assist in fraud prevention or investigation (e.g., counterfeiting).
- To any other third party where you have provided your consent.
We may also transfer personal data we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, spin-off, dissolution or liquidation).
PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Encryption & Security
We use a variety of technical and organizational security measures, including encryption and authentication tools, to maintain the safety of your personal data.
International Transfers of your Personal Data
The personal data we collect (or process) in the context of our Services will be stored in the USA and other countries. Some of the data recipients with whom we share your personal data may be located in countries other than the country in which your personal data originally was collected. The laws in those countries may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the country in which you initially provided your data. Nevertheless, when we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries, including the USA, we will protect that personal data as described in this privacy policy and in compliance with applicable law. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), please see the ”Note to EEA Residents” section below.
Retention of your Personal Data
Your personal information will be retained for as long as is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this privacy policy (unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law). In general, this means that we will keep your personal data for as long as you keep your account with us. For personal data related to product purchases, we retain this longer to comply with legal obligations (such as tax and sales laws and for warranty purposes).
YOUR RIGHTS RELATING TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA
You have the right to request: (i) access to your personal data; (ii) an electronic copy of your personal data (portability); (iii) correction of your personal data if it is incomplete or inaccurate; or (iv) deletion or restriction of your personal data in certain circumstances provided by applicable law. These rights are not absolute. Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act (“CAN-SPAM Act”)
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have commercial emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out penalties for violations.
We may collect your email address in order to:
- Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
- Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
- Send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
- Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our customers after the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:
- Not to use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
- To identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
- To include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
- We monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
- We honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.

- Contact us by using the contact details in the “Question and Feedback” section below.
We reserve the right to send you transactional or relationship based emails or notices even if you opt out of all voluntary emails. This includes information about your account, such as information regarding delivery of goods and services you have already agreed to and ordered, service announcements and administrative messages, information about warranty, recall, safety or security information, or notices about changes in terms or features of the Services.
Note to EEA Residents
If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us using the contact details in the “Question and Feedback” section below.
Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
California Consumer Privacy Act
This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA.” The words used in this section have the meanings given to them in the CCPA, which may be broader than their common meaning.
For more details about the personal information we have collected over the last 12 months, including the categories of sources, please see the “What Personal Data Do We Collect And When?” section above. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the “Why And How Do We Use Your Personal Data?” section above. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the “Sharing Of Your Personal Data” section above. We do not sell the personal information we collect and will not sell it without providing a right to opt out. Please note that we do use third-party cookies for our advertising purposes as further described in the “Cookies And Pixel Tags” section above.
Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request (a) more information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected and how we use and disclose this information, (b) deletion of their personal information, and (c) to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us by any means in our “Questions and Feedback” section below. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we take steps to verify your identity before granting access to information or complying with a request. You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent's permission to do so and verify your identity directly.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personal information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
- Users can visit our site anonymously.
- We will include a link to this privacy policy on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
- Our privacy policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.
- You will be notified of any privacy policy changes through an adjustment made on our privacy policy page.
You can change or update your personal information by any of the means described in our “Questions and Feedback” section below.
“Do Not Track” Signals Under CalOPPA
Our Site does not support “Do Not Track” browser settings and does not currently participate in any “Do Not Track” frameworks that would allow us to respond to signals or other mechanisms from you regarding the collection of your personal information.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Applicable law and our practices change over time. If we decide to update our privacy policy, we will post the changes on our Services. If we materially change the way in which we process your personal data, we will provide you with prior notice, or where legally required, request your consent prior to implementing such changes. We strongly encourage you to read our privacy policy and keep yourself informed of our practices. This privacy policy was last modified on January 30, 2020.
QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK
We welcome questions, comments, and concerns about our privacy policy and privacy practices.
Contact
If you wish to provide feedback or if you have questions or concerns or wish to exercise your rights related to your personal data, you may contact us:
- By Email: support@occasionbrands.com
- By Phone: (302) 279-1052
If you contact us with a privacy complaint it will be assessed with the aim of resolving the issue in a timely and effective manner. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in the country in which you reside.
