At Globehuggers we recognize that privacy is important. This Policy applies to all of the products, services and websites offered by Globehuggers Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

The cookies we collect and how we use them

a. What is a cookie?


A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

On the Globehuggers website, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our website to your interests.

During the course of any visit to a Globehuggers website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

b. How does Globehuggers use cookies?

Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better user experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our store pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight products on your second and subsequent visits. Globehuggers uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users. All third parties are strictly required not to use any information for their own business or other purposes. Certain areas of Globehuggers websites may use cookies for a specific reason - for example, to help you log in securely. 

c. Third Party Cookies in embedded content on Globehuggers pages

We do not allow third party cookies on our site. Any information we collect from you is solely to ensure that your browsing and shopping experience is convenient.

d. Globehuggers cookies and how to reject cookies?

If you wish to control what cookies are set on your device through the Globehuggers website then you can use your browser settings or third party plug-ins. It is important to note that if you change your settings and block certain cookies, this means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the websites' features.

 

Information we collect and how we use it - We offer a number of services that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us, such as Globehuggers Product Search. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide - When you sign up for a Globehuggers Account or other Globehuggers service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). We never use the information you submit under your account for any reason other than to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services.

Globehuggers cookies - When you visit Globehuggers, we send one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies for security purposes only. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Globehuggers features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

IP Addresses - Due to the large amount of internet faud from bogus users we monitor ip adresses and will block any users who are found to abuse the site.

User communications - When you send email or other communication to Globehuggers, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.

Other sites - This Privacy Policy applies to web sites and services that are owned and operated by Globehuggers. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.

Globehuggers only processes personal information for the purposes described in the applicable Privacy Policy and/or privacy notice for specific services. In addition to the above, such purposes include:

  • Providing our products and services to users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
  • Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;
  • Ensuring the technical functioning of our network; and
  • Developing new services.

Globehuggers processes personal information on our servers in the United Kingdom. We may process personal information to provide our own services.

Choices for personal information

When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case Globehuggers may not be able to provide those services to you.

Information sharing

We only share your personal data as part of the delivery process. For instance, your details may be submitted to a third party postal service in order to deliver your goods.

Data integrity

Globehuggers processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use Globehuggers services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.

Enforcement

We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Globehuggers and an individual.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Policy, please feel free to contact us any time through this web site or at
