URBAN ANIMAL COLLECTIVE AND YOUR PRIVACY
Urban Animal Collective (and Love Pig Studios) value you as our customer and are committed to honouring the trust you’ve placed in us.
This is Urban Animal Collective’s Privacy Policy. It describes the steps we take to protect your personal information and how and why we collect, use, retain and disclose your personal information, whether obtained online on our website or via Love Pig Studios.
What is personal information?
Personal information means any information about an identifiable individual, other than certain business contact information. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, birth date, payment card numbers, purchase information and e-mail address.
Collection, use and disclosure of your personal information – provision of goods and services
Urban Animal Collective collects, uses and discloses personal information in order to provide you with goods and services and/or information on products and services you might be interested in. We also collect, use and disclose your personal information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements and as otherwise may be permitted or required by applicable laws.
- a) Collection
We collect your personal information in connection with the provision of goods and services to you, including but not limited to situations when you:
- make purchases or returns in one of our retail stores or online
- communicate with our customer service representatives
- sign up for our eNewsletter or other communication channels
- enter into a contest, promotion or survey
- engage with Urban Animal Collective on social media
We collect personal information about you for various purposes, including to:
- manage our business and to register and maintain accurate accounts for you
- verify your identity for our mutual protection
- verify your eligibility for, and/or to provide you with, products, services and promotions
- provide you with information about our products, services and promotions (see below under “Collection, use and disclosure of your personal information – for optional purposes”)
- generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use
- meet legal and regulatory requirements
In most cases we collect personal information directly from you. However, in some cases, we obtain certain personal information from other sources. Unless there is a legal exception, we will obtain your consent to collect personal information about you from other sources.
- b) Use
Personal information will not be used without your consent for purposes other than those for which it was collected. From time to time, we may wish to use your personal information for new or additional purposes. We will obtain your consent to use your personal information for such new or additional purposes before doing so.
We may use your personal information in connection with the purposes for which you have provided it.
For example:
When you make purchases or returns online:
We will use your personal information as is necessary to process your transaction, including payment and shipping, to verify your identity and address, and to administer our post-purchase survey. When making returns, you may be asked to provide personal information for fraud prevention purposes.
When you sign up for our eNewsletter or other communication channels:
We will use your personal information to email you our eNewsletter. If you wish to unsubscribe from our eNewsletter, please click the “unsubscribe” option that appears at the bottom of every eNewsletter. If you opt in, we may use your personal information to mail you special offers and/or materials.
When you engage with Hudson’s Bay on social media:
When you interact with us on social media, the personal information you provide may be used to determine your identity, respond to your customer service inquiries, questions or comments and take other appropriate actions in response to your inquiries or postings.
- c) Disclosure
In addition, we may disclose your personal information to third parties as follows:
- with your express consent
- for debt collection purposes
- for loss and fraud prevention purposes
- if required or permitted by law
- in connection with a sale or potential sale of all or part of Urban Animal Collective’s business (in that event we will only disclose your personal information if we are satisfied that the other party will apply appropriate security safeguards to the personal information and return the personal information to us if the transaction does not proceed)
- for optional marketing purposes (see below under “Collection, use and disclosure of your personal information – for optional purposes”)
From time to time, we may work with other organizations to offer and deliver goods and services to you on our behalf.
For example:
Service Providers:
We may disclose your personal information to third party service providers that perform services for us, such as delivery of goods and information processing. We require all such service providers to keep your information confidential and secure and to have privacy policies and security standards with respect to personal information that are comparable to ours.
Your personal information may be processed and stored in the United States (whether by us or by our service providers) and may be accessible to the United States government, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies through the laws of the United States.
- d) Consent
Subject to any legal exceptions, we will inform you as to why we are collecting your personal information and with whom it will be shared, if applicable, and we will obtain your consent at or before the time of collection. Depending on the circumstances, such as the way personal information is collected and the type of personal information, your consent may be implied.
We will not unreasonably require your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information for purposes other than those for which the information is collected as a condition to providing you with a product or service.
You may refuse to provide or withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information at any time, unless legal reasons prevent you from doing so. However, if you refuse to provide or you withdraw your consent, we may be unable to provide you with certain goods and services.
If you would like to withdraw your consent, please contact admin@urbananimalcollective.com
Collection, use and disclosure of your personal information – for optional purposes
Urban Animal Collective may wish to use the personal information you provide to communicate with you for the purpose of offering you other products and services or allowing select organizations to offer you other products and services. These offers may be sent to you by mail, fax or electronically, including by email, text or sound messages, or by telephone by way of an Automatic Dialing Announcing Device at the telephone number you have provided to Urban Animal Collective.
The collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for such marketing purposes is entirely optional and not required as a condition of doing business with us. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Because of distribution schedules, you may continue to receive marketing communications for a short period of time while your request is processed. If you would like to withdraw your consent, please contact admin@urbananimalcollective.com
Maintaining and safeguarding your personal information
Urban Animal Collective has adopted security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss or theft.
Urban Animal Collective limits access to personal information in its possession to those Urban Animal Collective associates and sub-contractors who need to know such personal information to provide you with the goods and services for which the information was collected.
Urban Animal Collective keeps your personal information only for as long as necessary to accomplish the identified purpose(s), and then securely destroys such information.
Accessing and accuracy of your personal information
You may request access to your personal information and an account of organizations to which such information has been disclosed. Urban Animal Collective will respond within 30 days of receiving such request. If we are unable to provide you with the information requested within that time, we will advise you and will respond to your request within an additional 30 days. We will need to verify your identity before providing you with the personal information we hold about you.
There is no cost for such request unless you require copies of records. Urban Animal Collective will advise you of the cost, if any, prior to copying those records.
Urban Animal Collective may not be able to provide you with access to your personal information if the information cannot be separated from the records of others, cannot be disclosed for reasons of security or commercial confidentiality, or is protected by legal privilege. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will advise you of the reasons access is being denied, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.
You may request a correction to your personal information by emailing admin@urbananimalcollective.com
