California Privacy Rights

Under California law, California residents who have provided personally identifiable information to a company may have the right to request a list of all third parties to whom that company had disclosed such information for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, along with a list of the categories of Personal Information that have been so disclosed. Harper + Scott only shares users’ Personal Information, including but not limited to e-mail addresses, with third parties with your consent, and gives you the right to opt out of having your Personal Information disclosed to third parties. However, Harper + Scott does not sell your Personal Information to third parties or share your Personal Information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.  If you are a California resident who would like information on how to exercise your rights concerning third party disclosures under California law, you may send an email to stokcoldbrew@harperandscott.com. For avoidance of doubt, this provision is made applicable to all Registered Users of the Website who want to request information about our use of their Personal Information, whether or not such user resides in California

Collection and Use of Information

The Personal Information We Collect. This Policy applies to all information collected by or submitted to the Website.  We consider “personal information” to mean information about an identifiable individual.  If you opt to create an account, you will be asked to provide a variety of information including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.  You will be asked to provide a user name when you create an account.  

Financial Information. Harper + Scott may require billing and payment information such as credit and debit card information when you purchase items from the Website and/or create an account.  However, all payment transactions entered into on the Website are processed by Shopify, a third-party payment processor.  You will provide your payment information to Shopify, and Shopify’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service will govern use and disclosure of that information. We encourage you to read carefully Shopify’s Privacy Policy and Shopify's Terms of Service (collectively, “Shopify’s Policies”).

IP Address. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your internet service provider when you log on. Your IP address is not linked to your Personal Information but Harper + Scott does reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify individuals who threaten the Website or other users or visitors.  IP addresses may also be used to help diagnose problems with the Website and to gather broad anonymized demographic information about users of its Website. 

Other Information. When you access the Website, Harper + Scott will automatically receive some information about your use of the service.  The type of information that is automatically collected by Harper + Scott includes such things as the date and time of access of the Website, the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer that you are using, the domain and host from which you access the Internet, your browser software and operating system, the referring website address, and the specific activities you are engaged in while visiting the Site.  This aggregate tracking information is used to help Harper + Scott improve and enhance the website experience for all of its Registered Users.  The information we collect in this manner is usually anonymized, and we will not identify you from this data, subject to a need to do so to protect the Site and/or other users.

*Use of Cookies and Web Beacons; Use of Google Analytics 

The Website may make use of: (i) “cookies” - small data files which we may send to your computer on the basis of the information that we have collected about your visit; and (ii) “web beacons” – small strings of code that provide a graphic image that surveys visitors’ internet activity.  They contain information allowing us to recognize when you are visiting the Website and to keep track of your activities on the Site and your preferences.  Through the use of cookies and web beacons, we also may automatically collect information about your online activity on our Website, such as the links you click and the searches you conduct on our Website.  Cookies are stored in your computer’s browser or on your hard drive and can then be retrieved by the Website.  

If you want to delete any cookies that were already sent to your computer, please refer to your web browser’s “Help” facility.  In addition, most web browsers can be set to prevent you from receiving new cookies, notify you before accepting cookies or disable cookies altogether. Details about this can normally be found in the “Help” facility provided with your browser. Please note that if you disable cookies you may not be able to take advantage of some of the Site's interactive functionality.

Harper + Scott may use certain analytics tools, including Google Analytics. Analytics tools help website and mobile application owners understand how visitors engage with their websites.  We can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with our Website so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information anonymously.  Google Analytics uses cookies, and IP addresses, and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. For more information related to Google Analytics, click HERE. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-On. For information about, and to install, the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, click HERE. 

Do Not Track Signals 

Certain web browsers provide users with an option by which you may have your browser send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites that you are visiting, advising the recipient websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.  However, the way browsers communicate such “Do Not Track” signals is not yet uniform and, accordingly, our Website does not take any action in response to such signals.  In the event a final standard is developed and accepted, we may reassess how we should respond to such signals.

We only collect, use and/or disclose your Personal Information with your consent. We will request your consent to use your Personal Information for a particular purpose when we collect such information.  Additionally, when you submit your Personal Information to us to become a Registered User of our services, you are consenting to the collection of your Personal Information for the purposes identified or apparent at the time of collection and/or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
