Protecting your privacy is important to The Local Shoppe. This The Local Shoppe Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how The Local Shoppe and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide on our websites, www.terribleherbst.com and through or in connection with our mobile apps or other software- and Internet-enabled programs and services sponsored by Terrible Herbst (the “Sites”) as well as information collected when you visit our stores or otherwise communicate or interact with The Local Shoppe.

Information Collection

Each time you visit the Sites, we may automatically collect certain types of information. Some examples of automatic information we may collect are as follows:

  • We may record your internet service provider's address, your internet protocol or IP address, the web page from which you came, your web browser software, the type of handheld or mobile device used to link to the web page, and the language settings on your web browser;

  • We may collect a record of your activity or your "clickstream" while visiting the Sites;

  • We may use "cookies" of different types to recognize your computer. A cookie is a small text file that a website, online application, or e-mail may save to your internet browser and/or your computer's hard drive for use in subsequent visits to the Sites or other sites;

  • We may use web beacons, match scripts, pixel tags or similar technologies that allow us to know if a particular web page was visited, an e-mail opened, links in the email utilized or if the advertisements on the Sites or other sites were effective. In some instances, these technologies may allow us to match activities with particular users; and

  • We may collect any information you enter, share or that can be obtained from your use of our apps, games, contests, or promotions.

Information You Give to Us

We may collect any information, such as your first and last name, credit card number, email address, postal address, and telephone number that you provide when you interact with The Local Shoppe. Some examples are when you:

Combined Information

Information you provide at The Local Shoppe retail stores may be combined with information that you provide online at the Sites, as well as with information about your interests and purchases we collect automatically. The information you provide to The Local Shoppe may also be combined with demographic and other information that is available from other sources in order to allow The Local Shoppe to better communicate with you and enhance our customer service and your shopping experience.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals and therefore, The Local Shoppe and the Sites do not recognize DNT.

Information Use

We may use information about you for purposes described in this Policy or disclosed to you on the Sites. For example, we may use information about you to:

  • Send you updates on the latest The Local Shoppe news, including information about new products, services, and offers that may be of interest to you including co-branded offers and affiliate and partner offers.

  • Process and manage your purchase and use of Terrible Herbst products and services, including your accounts and program participation.

  • Respond to your customer service inquiries, post your comments or statements on any blog or other online forum maintained on our website and other websites, or take other actions in response to your inquiries or other website activities.

  • Create personalized promotions by combining your personal information with non-personal information about you, such as the amounts and types of purchases you make or any benefits you receive through our programs.

  • Communicate with you about your orders or purchases, your services, accounts and program participation, a contest or sweepstakes you have entered, product recalls that may affect you, and your requests for information.

  • Learn more about our customers so that we can develop better products and services.

We participate in interest-based advertising and we or others may use information about you to deliver to you or allow you to see certain advertising based on your interests, searches you perform, information you provide, or your activity on the Sites or other websites.

The Local Shoppe may also use this information to analyze and manage its businesses. Aggregate or combined data is collected from online and offline facilities and may be used to enhance the ability of The Local Shoppe to communicate with you and to support business functions such as internal business processes, marketing, authentication, customer service, fraud prevention, and public safety and legal functions.

Any sweepstakes, raffles, surveys, games, or similar promotions offered by The Local Shoppe may be governed by specific rules and terms and conditions that are separate from and in addition to this Privacy Policy. By participating in any such sweepstakes, contest, raffle, survey, game, or similar promotion, you will become subject to those rules, including but not limited to receiving emails containing promotional communications and/or The Local Shoppe Rewards information.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Opt-Out

If you provide us with your email or postal address, or have done so in the past, we will ask you if we can use it to send you updates on the latest The Local Shoppe news. If you do not want us to contact you, you can choose to "opt out," and The Local Shoppe will respect your wishes.

If you opt out of receiving promotional communications from us whether online or on your mobile device, we may still send you non-promotional communications such as emails about your The Local Shoppe account, if you have one, or our ongoing business relations.
