PRIVACY POLICY

Welcome to the Refrigiwear, Inc. ("We," "Our," "Us," or "Refrigiwear") website, located at (the "Site";), and thank you for reviewing this Privacy Policy. Refrigiwear strongly believes in maintaining the privacy of personal information we collect from individuals who visit the Site. Therefore, we want you to understand how we collect and process personal information and any other information collected on the Site. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe our practices and procedures as they relate specifically to such information.

What is personal information?

As used in this Privacy Policy, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number) or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person's activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information).

However, personal information does not cover information that is of public record, including, but not limited to, information obtained from any state and local governmental authorities and/or websites that are available to the public. Personal information also does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we may collect about the use of the Site or categories of visitors to the Site, from which any personal information has been removed.  We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including helping us understand buying trends and behavior and to help us make decisions about   our products and services and marketing campaigns. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.

What information do we collect?

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways. We may collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us which may contain personal information. For example, when you visit our Site, purchase and/or use the various products and services available through our Site, if you create an account or send us an email, or submit a review or comment concerning our products, we may collect your name, address, phone number, email address, and other personal, professional, demographic and business information that you provide. If you encounter a screen or page that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not enter the information requested and do not proceed with that screen or page; however, certain personal information is required to purchase and/or use products and services available through the Site.

We also collect information about website visitors indirectly through standard web logs, such as IP addresses, browser types (e.g. Internet Explorer), areas of the website that are visited and the website from which a visitor came. We routinely use this web log information in the aggregate in order to administer and improve our website. While some of this data may be traceable to an individual, we only seek to identify individuals whom we believe are using our website for improper purposes. Please see our Terms and Conditions of Use for more information regarding improper use of our Site.

Information collected from children

We are strongly committed to preserving online privacy for all of our Site visitors, including children. We do not knowingly collect information about children or sell products or offer services to children. We will not knowingly collect any information from individuals under the age of 18.  If you are under the age of 18, you are not permitted to submit information to the Site.
