PRIVACY POLICY

WHO WE ARE:

At CLOTH & PAPER, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that CLOTH & PAPER is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing. But just in case you don’t believe us, in this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

2 Personal Information
2.1 We may collect and store the following personal information about you:
(a) certain information required to register with the Site (including title, first and last name, telephone number, email address and delivery and invoice address);
(b) details of any requests for Products you make through the Site;
(c) billing information such as your credit card number and expiry date; and
(d) other information you generate as a result of Site interactions.

3 Automated Collection
We may automatically collect information such as the type of internet browser and operating system you use, the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, the website from which you linked to our Site and the website you visit as you leave the Site. We use this information to collect broad demographic information about the visitors to the Site and to improve the Site’s content and to help us understand how users are interacting with the Site and services provided.

4 Cookies
4.1 When you visit the Site we may store some information (commonly known as a “cookie”) on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web.

4.2 Cookies can be categorised in accordance with the categories found in the US Cookie guide as set out below:
(a) strictly necessary cookies – these cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around a website and use its features and enable services you have specifically asked for. Consent is not generally required for these cookies;
(b) performance cookies – these collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, by recording which pages users go to most often (usually on an anonymous basis);
(c) functionality cookies – these cookies allow a website to remember the choices a user makes, such as a user name or language preference; and
(d) targeting or advertising cookies – these collect information about a user’s browsing habits and are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.

4.3 Cookies can also be categorised in accordance with how long they are saved on your device. “Session cookies” are short-term cookies that are only saved on the computer’s memory for the duration of a user’s visit to the website, whereas “persistent cookies” remain saved in the computer’s memory for a set period of time, even after the browser session has ended.

4.4 The following Cookies are set on the Site. Note: this is not an exhaustive list. You can view more individual cookies by purpose via "Cookie Preferences" located in the footer of our site.

4.5 You can block or erase cookies from your computer if you want to (your browser's help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Site are reliant on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

4.6 Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will set cookies when you navigate around the Site. By using our Site you consent to our use of cookies.

5 Use of Personal Information
5.1 Our primary purpose in collecting user information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient and customized experience and to provide the Product(s) you may have requested. To decide what is relevant to you, we use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. We gather this information using the tracking tools described above and information you provide directly to us as described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we or our partners might look at your purchases or browsing behaviors. We might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others. We work with third parties, which may include but is not limited to Facebook Custom Audiences, Klaviyo, and Google Ads, who help gather this information. We may share your email address with these third parties, and these third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect to create custom audiences or deliver targeted advertisements. That information might include past purchases made offline or online. Or, it might include online usage information.

We may use Facebook Custom Audiences to deliver interest-based advertisements to you on Facebook based on your email address. This tool allows us to personalize our ads based on your interactions with us. This tool enables Cloth & Paper, Co. to convert your email address to a unique number that Facebook uses to match to unique numbers Facebook generates from email addresses of its users. Facebook users can control the ads they see in their Facebook account, including Customer Audience ads, in Your Ad Preferences.

We may use Google Ads Customer Match to show you interest-based advertisements based on data we share with Google, such as your email address. Customer Match allows Cloth & Paper, Co. to use your email address to reach you via Google’s ad network. Google users can control the ads they see on Google services, including Customer Match ads, in their Google Ads Settings.

You can learn how to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising by visiting the sections 9-11 below.

5.2 By using our Site and providing your personal information, you agree that we may use your personal information in order to:

(c) collect payment for any Products we provide to you;

(h) prevent, detect and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities (including fraud and abusive use of the Site), and enforce our Website Terms and Sale Terms; and
(i) notify you of certain offers and new products (subject to your right to unsubscribe or opt-out).

6 Sharing Personal Information

6.2 We may also share your personal information with:
(a) other companies we have instructed to provide services or goods for us;
(b) law enforcement agencies, other governmental agencies or third parties if we are required by law to do so; and

7.2 In addition, if you linked to this Site from a third party website, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners or operators of that third party website and recommend that you check the policy of that third party website and contact its owner or operator if you have any concerns or questions.

7.3 You are not entitled (nor will you assist others) to set up links from your own website(s) to the Site (whether by hypertext linking, deep-linking, framing, toggling or otherwise) without our prior written consent, which we may grant or withhold at our absolute discretion.

8 Security and Storage of Personal Information
8.1 Although we maintain safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to us or provided through the Site.

8.2 As part of our service of providing Products to you through the Site, the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside of the United States ("US"). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the US or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the US. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the US. If we transfer your information outside of the US in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

8.3 If you use the Site while you are outside the US, your information may be transferred outside the US.
