A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit the particular Sites. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. Cookies allows us to operate your shopping cart, to identify registered users when they return to the Site so that they can retrieve previous search results, access carts etc. We also use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs and is used for statistical analysis purposes.
We specifically use Google Analytics for aggregated, anonymized website traffic analysis. This includes the use of advertising features in order to have access to aggregated demographic and interest information of visitors to our sites.

5. Cookies offer you many conveniences:
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website, as it will disable the ability for the site to recognise your cart, your account and any personalization efforts.
6. Links to other websites:
Our Website may contain links to enable you to visit other third party websites, including social media networks. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy policies of such third party website and networks.

For certain legislative jurisdications, it is important to state that We do not sell any personal information (money does not change hands) to any Third Party. We do exchange anonymous information with Third Party Businesses to further their own commercial purposes such as generating profiles about individuals. This is anonymous information such as online identifiers, Devices IDs and other information about your use of the site in order to better target information to you, which could be considered value under certain legislation (such as the CCPA). If you have concerns over this then please contact privacy@greatbowery.com. Please note that this does not prevent us sharing Personal Information with our Service Providers as defined elsewhere in this Policy.
If you do not live in one of those locations, you may choose to restrict the collection or use of your Personal Information in the following ways:
You can exercise any of these rights by contacting privacy@greatbowery.com We will endeavour to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

10. Storage and Transfer of Information:
All the Information you provide may be processed and stored, transferred or accessed by entities around the world as described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, the Anonymous and Personal Information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us in connection with the activities outlined in this Privacy Policy. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Privacy Policy is processed according to the provisions of this Privacy Policy and applicable law wherever the data is located.
On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) confirmed that Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) remain an acceptable method to transfer personal data outside of the EU/EEA. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are another method to transfer personal data lawfully outside the EU and ensure that personal data remains protected in accordance with EU law. They consist of non-negotiable language approved by the European Commission for agreements governing the transfer of personal data outside the EU. They may also be used to transfer data to the US. Where data is transferred, we ensure that any service providers that have access to that data are compliant with the SCC to ensure that this is a legal basis for any transfer.
By submitting Anonymous and Personal Information, using our services and/or using our Website, you agree to this transfer, storing and/or processing.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Where provided under applicable law, you may request a copy of the Personal Information held by Great Bowery about you or request the correction of incorrect information, and request the blocking and deletion of such Personal Information by contacting us at privacy@greatbowery.com. We may require you to prove your identity with approved identification if you request Personal Information. Any repeated access request may be subject to a fee to provide you with details of the Personal Information we hold about you. You have the right, where provided under applicable law, to ask us not to process your Personal Information.
11. Retention
We will retain and use your Personal Information for as long as need to provide you with any services which you request, for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. We may retain certain data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements or to prevent fraud or future abuse, as well as for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery. All retained personal information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you request that your name be removed from our databases, it may not be possible to completely delete all your Personal Information due to technological and legal constraints.

Any non-material change (such as clarifications) to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the date the change is posted and any material changes will become effective 30 days from their posting on the Website.
