OVERVIEW

This e-commerce website is operated by Spantik, a division of Neslinks LLC. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Spantik. Any person accessing or using the website and any associated webpages, including, without limitation, www.spantik.us (collectively, the “Websites”) is referred to as “you”. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) is an agreement between us and our Website and you, as the user of the Spantik Website (“you”). This agreement tells you when this Policy is effective, what information we collect from you, how we might use it, how you can review or change the Personal Information you provided to us, how we may change this Policy, and the steps we take to ensure that your Personal Information is protected.

We’re committed to protecting your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we manage the personal information we collect while doing business. This Privacy Policy covers only information that is collected through the spantik.us website. This Privacy Policy does not cover information that may be collected through other websites accessible through our website.

This policy applies to information we collect through any medium, including, but not limited to, information:

• On this Site
• In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the website.
• Through mobile and desktop applications you download from this website, which provides dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and this website.
• When you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this policy.

 

YOUR IP ADDRESS

Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and gather broad demographic information about you.

 

COOKIES

Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to keep track of your purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place cookies on your browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Site.

We do not collect information passively through cookies or other tracking mechanisms except in the circumstances described above. Cookies DON’T contain any personal information about a specific user. We don’t use cookies or other non-consensual methods to take personally identifiable or online contact information about you or your family off of your computer. Cookies are also not used to collect information specifically about you or your family for sharing with third parties.

 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect profile information (i.e. information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal address, phone number, and email address), demographic information (e.g. age, zip code, hometown, gender, household income, purchase history information, and age), public information (e.g. member fan mail, articles, and a user name) from you. Please note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect profile information from children under the age of 18.

 

INFORMATION OTHER WEBSITES COLLECT FROM YOU

On the Site, we may place links to other websites operated by other parties. When you click on these links and visit these other websites, you need to be aware that we do not control these other websites or these other websites’ business practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other websites. Consequently, the operators of these other websites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

 

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not require anyone to share any personal information about themselves in order to enjoy our website. That means you can visit our site without any need to register with us. However, our sites contain special sections and privileges for members that register (such as but not limited to sweepstakes, newsletter, special offers, etc.). The personal information we ask for is usually first and last name, mailing address, age, phone number, and email address. 

When you make a purchase, we may send you emails to confirm your order and may also need to contact you via phone, postal mail, or email if we have other questions regarding your order.

By purchasing online, you may be automatically added to our catalog mailing list. You may also receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. You may also request to be added to our mailing list online by requesting a catalog or by joining our newsletter.

From time to time we make portions of our customer mailing lists, which include names and street addresses, available to carefully screened companies. This may include your name and postal address, but never your email address.

If we believe that anyone’s behavior on our site may damage us or anyone else, we may disclose the relevant personal information in order to prevent this harm. In that case, we might try to identify the wrongdoer, contact them or bring legal action against them. We may also disclose personal information if we believe that the disclosure is required by law, or in response to a legal request.

RIGHT TO OPT IN AND OPT OUT

You have the right to “opt in” and “opt out” of certain of our uses of your Personal Information, including by contacting us at ask@spantik.us or by submitting a request in writing to Spantik located at “15 Orchid Ct Edison, NJ 08820”. Please note that such requests may take up to 3 to 8 weeks to become effective. Upon receipt of the request, we will put your name in a “do not mail” file to ensure that we can honor your request.

To keep you informed about our latest offers, we may notify you of current promotions, specials, and new additions. You may unsubscribe from our newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email you receive from us.

When entering any of our contests or prize drawings, you provide your name, email address, and mailing address. If you win, we will send the prize to the address entered and notify you by email. When you enter a contest or drawing you are also included in our newsletter list to receive notice of promotions, specials, and new additions. You may unsubscribe from this news list by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email received.

Users may opt not to receive our electronic newsletters or those of third parties when providing Personal Information. Users who opt-in may remove themselves from mailing lists at any time through the account-management pages or by following the instructions at the end of the e-mail they received from us.  If you opt not to provide certain Personal Information when registering for or using our Site, however, you may not be able to use some of our services such as message boards.

 

HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE USED BY THIRD PARTIES

With your permission, we may provide your information to outside companies that offer products or services that may be of interest. Should you wish to change this preference, send an email to ask@spantik.us .

By electing to receive communications (such as emails or newsletters), or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or other programs, offered by third parties on the Site, you consent to our providing your profile information to those third parties. Third parties may use your personal information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions.

You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we will have the right to use and disclose all such information you submit in the same manner in which we use and disclose all other information you submit. Your profile information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy.

In special circumstances, we may give other companies access to our information database, but only if necessary to allow them to provide database or server maintenance or security, help us process and fulfill orders or requests, or provide other similar services to Spantik. If we do provide access, we require those other companies to sign confidentiality agreements promising to keep secret any information they see.
