Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.arqqos.com (the "Site") or participate in marketing activities, including mobile messaging service, giveaways, or events.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information".

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • "Cookies" are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • "Log files" track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • "Web beacons", "tags", and "pixels" are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers or account details you provide of another payment method you choose), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as "Order Information".

If you opt-in to our mobile messaging service, we collect certain information from you including your name, phone number, and email address. We refer to this information as "Mobile Information".

If you participate in one of our giveaways or events, we will collect your registration or entry information (such as your name, email address, phone number, and other information or data that is requested or that you submit, including images and video footage) and the information of any individual you may be nominating for a giveaway. We refer to this information as "Event Information". Please do not provide us with Personal Information of any third party unless you have their permission to do so.

When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about Device Information, Order Information, Mobile Information and Event Information.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you;
  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
  • When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). We also use this data for advertising and retargeting.

We use Mobile Information to communicate with you via SMS and MMS based on preferences you select while participating in the program. This communication can include general announcements, product updates, or offers. We also use this information to communicate with you in the event you place a product in your cart and do not complete a purchase.

We use Event Information to complete your registration for a giveaway or event, process your entry, provide the giveaway or event, communicate with you, and for marketing and advertising purposes. We may also use your Event Information to publicize the event or our business, post on our social media channels, announce giveaway winners, or for legal and compliance purposes.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store—you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.

We will not share SMS opt-in or consent status.

We may share your Event Information with other event participants and the public, such as when you give us permission to post your content on our social media channels or when we announce winners of a giveaway.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
