In operating our store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as your:
1. IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this might include time-stamp, the last page or product you visited, the indication that you logged in. We do that in order to:
- remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each click;
- monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to providing;
- let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at each click;
- remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and
- control that your data is processed securely.
We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites uses. A website places cookies in the web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies (first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while you are navigating.
2. Order information you expressly provide when you buy something. We also use some specific information related to your visit, such as the timestamp of your visit, the page or the product you viewed, where you are coming from (if you came to our store because you clicked on an advertisement or you just opened our direct link). This is very similar to the “essential information,” but we use it to provide you with a personalized experience. The information on your visit provides us with insights on your interests and allows us to send you relevant communications such as emails (if you choose to receive them) and retargeting ads.
How do we process your information? We use an external provider to run our store, BigCommerce. BigCommerce is based in the US and is a participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and committed to providing best-in-class service and data protection. You can check its participation in the Privacy Shield here on the official site of The International Trade Administration (ITA), U.S. Department of Commerce. Through BigCommerce, we also use other, highly specialized external providers to provide the most competitive services. For example, we use Yotpo to help us have the most up to date product reviews and to make sure that our product and site reviews are legit. We may send Yotpo information such as your email, name and order ID so that Yotpo may contact you on our behalf for a review following your purchase. The email would come from us, but it may be Yotpo that triggers that email to go out.
Payment: Our store is PCI-DSS compliant (a very strict industry standard with requirements for the security of credit card information), but we want to use accredited companies to process your credit card information. We currently use PayPal to process our credit cards, and none of your credit card information is saved in our system.
Shipping: We integrate with a number of shipping companies to fulfill your orders. (UPS, FedEx, RR Donnelley, USPS) Partnering with highly specialized external companies allows us to focus on what we do best: selling great products. Any information sent to these companies are not stored and are only for purposes of us printing a valid shipping label to get you your products as fast as possible.
How can you control your personal data? If you are one of our customers who is in the EU, and we are specifically selling our products to the Member State where you are located, you have specific rights that we are honored to enforce without undue delay: Access, Correct, Erasure, Port, Object. If you cannot exercise your choice on your account page or if you do not have an account with us, please reach out to us, at the contact details at the bottom of this page. We will be more than happy to help.
How long do we keep your data? We keep your data for as long as you have an account with us. We also keep some data for security investigation. Most importantly, we have specific obligations for fraud detection and tax reasons. Therefore, we might need to retain certain data even if you ask to delete it.
Who can you reach out to for privacy matters? You can contact our Data Privacy Leader at info@grandslamnewyork.com attn Data Privacy. You can also forward any complaints regarding data privacy to this same Leader.
If we update our Privacy Policy to reflect a change or improvement of our services or a new legal obligation, we will publish the new version on our website, and we will make it clear on our home page so it will be visible as you enter our store.
