PRIVACY STATEMENT

November 2022

Protecting your private information is our priority. This Statement of Privacy (“Privacy Statement”) applies to 3P Associates LLC, and its affiliates and/or licensors (hereinafter, variously “Strengthsswag,” “Strengthswag”, “we,” or “our”), and our store, products and website (collectively, the “Site”), and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

By using our Site in any manner, you indicate to Strengthsswag that you have read and accept our Privacy Statement and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Statement. If you do not accept this Privacy Statement or do not meet or comply with the provisions set forth herein, then you may not use our Site.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you use our Site, you may provide StrengthsSwag with two main types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse, make purchase and/or use our Site.

Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide
We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you services that you request. We collect personal information such as your: (i) contact information (including name, telephone number, email and shipping address); (ii) financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, verification number and billing address); and (iii) preferences and behavior (such as record of purchases made, comments, disputes, etc.).

Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
Cookies: We use cookies and web log files to track website usage and trends, to improve the quality of our service and to customize your experience. A “Cookie” is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows StrengthsSwag to recognize you as a user when you return to our Site using the same computer and web browser. Information gathered through Cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and time spent at our Site. You can remove or block Cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use our Site. Our store is hosted on a third party site, ‘Shopify Inc’ (“Shopify”). The following are a list of Cookies that Shopify enables you to opt-out of:
• session_id, unique token, sessional, allows Shopify to store information about your session
• shopify_visit, no data held, persistent for thirty (30) minutes from the last visit and is used by website provider’s internal stats tracker to record the number of visits
• shopify_uniq, no data held, expires midnight (relative to the visitor) of the next day, and counts the number of visits to a store by a single customer.
• cart, unique token, persistent for two (2) weeks, and stores information about the contents of your cart.
• secure_session_id, unique token, sessional
• storefront_digest, unique token, indefinite If the shop has a password, this is used to determine if the current visitor has access.

Device Data: We use device data, which is information concerning a device you use to access, use, and/or interact with the Site, such as operating system type and/or mobile device model, browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language your system uses and the country and time zone of your device, geo-location, unique device identifier and/or other device identifier, mobile phone carrier identification, and device software platform and firmware information.

Aggregate: We may collect non-identifying and statistical information about the use of our Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page and which links, if any, they click on. This information represents a generic overview of our users, including without limitation their collective habits. Information collected in the aggregate is not associated with you as an individual.

Other Tracking Technologies: We may supplement information you provide to us with information from other sources, such as information to validate and/or update your address, payment card and/or other demographic information. This information is used to maintain the accuracy of information on our Site and for internal analysis. We may also use clear gifs, pixel tags and web beacons, which are tiny graphic images placed on website pages and/or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions and are further used to track online movements of our users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your personally identifiable information.

Third Party Services: To support the services we provide to you, we may use services hosted by third parties. These services may collect information sent by a browser as part of a web page request, including Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser software, and/or clickstream patterns. If such third party services collect information, they do so anonymously without identifying individual visitors. However, we may link the information we record using tracking technology to personal information we collect.
