SHOE SHOW, INC. Privacy Policy

Effective January 1, 2024:

SHOE SHOW, INC. (collectively “Company,” “Us,” “Our,” or “We”) recognizes that you may be concerned about our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. We respect your privacy and are committed to providing a transparent notice of our privacy practices.

The policy describes the types of information We may collect from you when you visit our website, www.shoedeptencore.com (the “Website” or “Site”). This policy describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This Site is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is designed for and intended for users located in the United States. We do not knowingly collect or process data of persons located outside the United States.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how We will treat it. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site.

When you visit the Site or submit information to us through the services, you consent to the collection and processing of your information as described in this privacy policy. If you do not agree with the uses of information described in this privacy policy, then please do not use the Site or submit information to us through the Site.

INFORMATION COLLECTION

We collect several types of information from and about you, including:

  • Information provided by you, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, payment-card information, and other personally identifying information. For example, We collect information from you when you create an online account, make a purchase or fill out a form on our website, or when you fill out a physical copy of a form or when you voluntarily submit a comment or question using our “Contact Us” page. 

  • Information collected automatically as you navigate through the site. Information collected automatically may include usage details, domain address, IP addresses, internet browser, operating system, your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and information collected through cookies “Usage Data”. 

  • Information from Commercially Available Sources. We may receive additional information about you — such as the websites you have visited — from sources such as data brokers, data cooperatives, and public databases.

We may combine Usage Data with Personal Information and use it in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

This Usage Data is collected using cookies, Web beacons, and similar technologies, as further discussed below.

We also use tools like Google Analytics to measure traffic to our Site and how users interact with our Site.  Google Analytics uses cookies to gather information regarding use of the Site, which Google uses to generate reports for us regarding our Site.  To find out more about how Google uses data when you use our Site and your options for controlling the information collected by Google from this Site, please click here. You may opt-out of having your activity on the Site made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics browser add-on, available here.

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites and other online services use to store information about users on the users’ own computers. For example, cookies can be used to store your sign-in credentials so that you do not have to enter them each time you return to a web site. Cookies also may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer so that a website can recognize you as the same user across different visits to the website. You can configure your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely.

  • The Company and the third parties that provide content, ads, or functionality on the Services may use cookies to: (1) Collect Usage Data about your browsing activities in order to provide you with more relevant content and ads, on and off the Services; and (2) Relate the Usage Data to information we obtain from you directly or from commercially available sources.

You can adjust how your Internet browser (like Chrome or Safari) responds to cookies (e.g., to warn you every time a cookie is sent, or to turn off all cookies). See your browser's Help menu for these instructions. Users who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before accessing the website. By disabling your cookies, please understand you will not have access to some of the features that enhance your user experience on the Site.

  • Other local storage. We, along with third-party partners, use other kinds of local storage, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with the Services. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your computer and can be used to store certain Usage Data about your activities and preferences. However, these objects are stored in different parts of your computer from ordinary browser cookies. Many Internet browsers allow you to disable HTML5 local storage or delete information contained in HTML5 local storage using browser controls.

  • Web beacons. We, along with our third-party partners, may also use technologies called Web beacons that communicate information from your Internet browser to a web server. Web beacons can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed. We and our partners use Web beacons for a variety of purposes, including analyzing the use of the Services and in conjunction with cookies to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.

We may combine all of the information we collect or receive about you and use it in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

HOW WE RESPOND TO “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS

Some browsers have an optional Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that allows you to express your preference regarding tracking of your online activity by websites. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity via cookies or other tracking technologies. We do not respond to Web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms. Other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses our Website or service.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
