Information We Automatically Collect
Like most websites, Espy may incorporate technology such as “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, and “cookies.” Pixel tags or web beacons are tracking devices on websites or in emails that can monitor the behavior of the user visiting the website or sending the e-mail. Cookies (not to be confused with the sugary treat) are small files that web servers may place on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Here, at Espy, we use cookies to help identify and track usage of the Services and to make it easier to deliver a personalized experience. Our Sites use the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below.

Information We Collect From Third Party Services
We haven’t built all of the features offered on Espy from scratch. To run the Services, we often utilize various third-party products (collectively “Third Party Services”), such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you authorize these Third Party Services to share information with us, you grant us permission to collect certain information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other information that the third-party service makes available to us. Please note that your use of these Third Party Services is governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies. For any information we receive from a Third Party Services, we use and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We also maintain pages for Espy and our products on a variety of Third Party Services’ platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and other social networking services. When you interact with our pages on those third-party platforms, the third-party’s privacy policy will govern your interactions on the relevant platform. If the third-party platform provides us with information about our pages on those platforms or your interactions with them, we will treat that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How We Use the Information We Gather

Aggregated and De-Identified Information
To improve our Services and for our lawful business purposes (including analytics), we may create aggregated and/or anonymous data from the information we collect. When doing so, we do our best to ensure that any aggregated and/or de-identified information cannot be linked back to you.
How We Share Information
Except as we discuss in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your information with third parties who wish to market other products and services to you.

- Improvement of website-related services and features;
- Maintenance services;
- Development of new fragrances or other products; or

Business Transfers
We may choose to buy or sell assets or our business. In these types of transactions or potential transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, your information will be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
Espy may disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as required by law, and disclose and use such information as we believe necessary or appropriate to (a) comply with applicable laws and lawful requests and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; (c) protect the rights, property, or safety of Espy, our employees, our users, or others; or (d) protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity.
What information can I access or change?
If you would like to request that we remove or revise your information, please send us a note at hello@espybox.com, and we’ll work with you. We may decide to not fulfill your request, unless prohibited by law.
If you decide you don’t want to receive text messages, email, or other mail from us, you can opt out of such communications by unsubscribing. Unsubscribing will stop you from receiving most types of communication, but it may not apply to communications about orders or transactions you place through the Services or to respond to your specific request.
Targeted Advertising
Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on our Sites may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising. Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices or the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt out of targeted advertising, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
Data Retention
If you delete your account or request that your information be deleted, we still may retain some information that you have provided to us in order to maintain Espy or to comply with relevant laws.
Data Security
We are committed to making sure your information is protected and have selected third-party providers that help keep your information safe. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Any information that you provide to us is done so entirely at your own risk.
Children
We are especially sensitive about children’s information. We’re not a site targeted towards children and we don’t knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor child, we will treat any information that you provide us while using Espy on behalf of your minor child as information as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions concerning our information practices with respect to children, or if you learn that a child under the age of 13 has used Espy, created a user account, or provided us with personal information, please email us at hello@espybox.com.
Online Tracking And How We Respond To Do Not Track Signals
Online tracking is the collection of data about an individual’s Internet activity used to deliver targeted advertisements and for other purposes. Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity and behavior tracked. If an online service elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the service may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. Many website operators, including Espy, do not take action to respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com/.
Other Sites and Services
The Sites may contain links to other websites and services. These links are not an endorsement, authorization or representation that we are affiliated with that third party. We do not exercise control over third party websites or services, and are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services may follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites you visit and services you use.
We Reserve the Right to Update and Revise this Privacy Policy at Any Time
We occasionally review this Privacy Policy to make sure it complies with applicable law and conforms to changes in our business. We may need to update this Privacy Policy, and we reserve the right to do so at any time. If we do revise this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Effective Date” at the bottom of this page so that you can tell if it has changed since your last visit and do our best to notify you. Please review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of its terms. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting of the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on the Sites (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, any use of the Sites after an amendment to our Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance to the revised or amended Privacy Policy.
Your Rights as a California Resident
If you are a California resident, in addition to awesome weather, you also get the ability to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of information we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes and the contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties (under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84). If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to hello@espybox.com. We won’t even ask you for a bottle of Napa Valley chardonnay in return (but if you send one, our staff will happily accept).
International Users and Visitors
Espy is hosted in the United States. Because the Internet is global, you should note that by providing information as an international visitor or user, you are: (i) permitting the transfer of your information to the United States which may not have the same or as protective data protection laws as the country in which you reside; and (ii) permitting the use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
