Effective Date: January 1, 2014
Rawlings.com is an electronic marketplace for products sold or distributed by Rawlings Sports Goods Inc. ("Rawlings") and its subsidiaries. Rawlings understands that your privacy is important to you and Rawlings established this Privacy Policy to explain what information is collected on the Rawlings internet site ("Site") and how it is used. By using this Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as set forth in this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use this Site.
Information Gathered by Rawlings.
For visitors and users to the Site, Rawlings logs standard technical information, such as your IP address and the kind of browser you are using. If you choose to register with Rawlings, you may be asked to provide personally-identifiable information ("PII"), such as your name and email address. If you choose to make a purchase on this Site, Rawlings also may collect your financial information, such as your credit card number, along with billing, shipping and other transactional information. Rawlings may collect other PII when you provide feedback or comments online, such as information about Rawlings products you own.
Rawlings uses and allows third parties to use cookies or web beacons to collect information about you and to provide a more tailored and user-friendly service to you. For example, Rawlings may use cookies to record session information, such as items that you add to your shopping cart, to record past activity or to provide better service when you return. Authorized third parties may link your name, address and email address to other information which they collect, such as past online/offline purchase information and Web usage from other sites. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but without our cookie you will not be able to complete a purchase or take advantage of certain features of this Site.
Pixel tags are tiny graphic files that are included in HTML-encoded email messages. Rawlings uses pixel tags to gather information about emails sent to Rawlings users. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient's computer accesses Rawlings server to retrieve the pixel tag file, and allows Rawlings to record and store the date and time, the recipient's email address, and other standard logging information. These pixel tags may also read cookies.
Our Use and Disclosure of Information.
The information Rawlings collects about you in the course of our relationship is used to operate Rawlings Site and offer products and services to you. For example, Rawlings may use your PII to fulfill your order, to send you information about Rawlings and services, or to contact you when necessary. Rawlings may also use your PII to send you periodic emails about new products and services or upcoming events ("promotional email"). In addition, Rawlings looks at technical information to analyze traffic to this Site, to enhance our offerings and to provide Rawlings services to you. For example, Rawlings may use traffic information to see which portions of this Site are more frequently accessed and to gather broad demographic information.
Rawlings works with and may share information with third parties who provide services that may include, but are not necessarily limited to, website hosting, data processing and analysis, back-up and security services, and processing of credit card transactions. Rawlings may share PII with these service providers for the purpose of providing these services. Although Rawlings seeks to require these service providers to protect such PII, and to use it only for the purpose for which it was provided, Rawlings cannot be responsible for third parties' use of PII.
In order to provide you with a full range of products and services, Rawlings may share your PII with our affiliates for marketing or other purposes. An affiliate means any company that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Rawlings. In addition, Rawlings has built relationships with selected partners that are not subsidiaries or affiliates, but which offer products or services that may be of interest to Rawlings users. If you opt-in to receive information from Rawlings, Rawlings may also share your PII with Rawlings unaffiliated third-party partners for marketing or other business purposes. Please refer to the section of this Policy titled "Opt Out," below, if you would like to opt out of having your PII shared with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties for third-party direct marketing.
Rawlings reserves the right to share PII about Rawlings users with other third parties, including: (1) with your consent or as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy; (2) when Rawlings has a good faith belief it is necessary pursuant to a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order; (3) where required by law; or (4) at Rawlings sole discretion, where Rawlings deems it necessary to respond to claims, to protect the safety of any individual or the public, or to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of any third party. In addition, Rawlings may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with third parties.
In the event of a change of ownership or corporate restructuring (i.e. a sale, merger, acquisition or transfer of our assets), Rawlings may share or transfer your PII to a third party.
Surveys and Contests.
At various times Rawlings may offer surveys or contests to users. Surveys may ask for contact information or unique identifying information to increase the value of the results. Contests may require contact information or other demographic or personally identifiable information in order to determine eligibility. Rawlings uses information collected from surveys and contests to improve Rawlings service and to notify and contact winners of various contests. From time to time, a contest may ask users to provide content, such as recipes or tips that make the most of their product, which may be provided to the public.
Third Party Websites.
Rawlings does not control the information collection and distribution policies on Internet domains other than this Site. When you are on this Site, you may be directed to other sites that are beyond Rawlings control. For example, if you "click" on a link on this Site, the "click" may take you off of this Site. These other sites may independently collect data, solicit personal information, or send their own cookies to you. Rawlings is not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data that you may create when using such third party sites.
