In compliance with applicable laws, it is our policy to require only the Personal Information necessary to complete the specific transaction that you request and we do not condition your participation in any specific activity on our Platforms on the disclosure of more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to complete that activity. Information such as traffic patterns and the number of page visits help us to further develop and improve the Platforms to better meet your needs. You expressly authorize us to share your Personal Information with certain third parties to the extent necessary to perform any of the business purposes included within this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you at the time of disclosure of Personal Information. Please note that in connection with certain requests, you may be transferred to a different web site and/or application, which will have a different privacy policy. If you do not want to be contacted for these purposes or if you would like to obtain a copy of the Personal Information we gathered, or correct or delete such information from our database, you may e-mail us with your concern or question. If you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information in a community forum, such information may be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. We have no control over this type of use of your personally identifiable information and cannot be held responsible.
OPTING-IN AND OPTING-OUT
Growler Station will endeavor to ask you to agree to receive communications about special offers, programs, news, or alerts from Growler Station and/or any of our affiliate brands or partners at the time you provide your e-mail address to us (an “Opt-In”). In the event that you provide your e-mail address via a channel that does not include a mechanism for you to affirmatively Opt-In, such as by e-mail, you agree that by providing your e-mail address, you are completing an Opt-In and will be responsible for opting-out from receiving any future communications about special offers, programs, news, or alerts. You can do this by following the instructions provided in each communication (an “Opt-Out”).
MOBILE APPLICATIONS
From time to time, we may offer mobile applications for public consumption and/or download (the “Apps”). We will use commercially reasonable efforts, given the limitations imposed upon us by third party provides such as Apple, Inc. and Google, Inc. to clearly disclose what, if any Personal Information or Usage Information is collected by the Apps, how it is used, and with who it is shared. In the event that it is not commercially feasible for us to provide this explanation in advance of you accessing and using the Apps, this Privacy Policy shall govern any information collected by us as a result of your use of the Apps.
Please note, certain practices are outside of Growler Station’s control, including any tracking by Apple, Inc. and Google, Inc. or your third party telecommunications carrier of which Apps you download. We cannot and will not be held responsible for the actions of such third parties. You should always read and understand the policies of any third party provider before making any purchase or downloading any of the Apps.
TEXT MESSAGING
From time to time, we may run certain campaigns that provide you with the ability to send a text message and provide an Opt-In to receive future text messages. Your Opt-In provides us with your mobile phone number. If you choose to Opt-In, you agree that we may send messages to the mobile device about new products, promotions, services, or offers. Your carrier may charge you for each message you receive in accordance with your communications plan. You agree that we are not responsible in any way for such charges. If you do not wish to continue receiving any messages via your mobile device, you may Opt-Out at any time.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We may disclose the information we collect from and about you when we have reason to believe that such disclosure is necessary to: identify, contract, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, customers, or other users of the Platforms, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities; enforce the Terms of Use; take precautions against liability, investigate and defend against any third-party claims or allegations and/or protect the security of the Platforms; respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies in connection with an investigation, as permitted, or otherwise required, by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state, federal, or local law; permit our business partners the ability to conduct research, analytical, and marketing purposes; permit us to process any of your requests; or otherwise with your consent.
