LIVE RIP AND SHIP PRIVACY

Products designated as Live Rip are opened during a livestream and are not shipped sealed.

We may identify an order using a customer’s first name, display name, channel name, order number, or another non-sensitive identifier when necessary to manage the live opening. We do not intentionally display private contact, payment, billing, or shipping information during a livestream.

Customers should avoid posting addresses, payment information, account credentials, or other sensitive personal information in livestream chats, comments, Discord channels, or other public areas.

Livestreams, chats, and comments may remain publicly available or be recorded, clipped, archived, or shared through the platform hosting the content.

HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary.

Service Providers

We may share information with companies that provide services on our behalf, including:

• Wix and website-hosting providers.

• Payment processors.

• Shipping carriers and fulfillment providers.

• Email and marketing providers.

• Analytics and advertising providers.

• Fraud-prevention and account-security providers.

• Customer-support and business-management tools.

• Professional advisers, including accountants, insurers, and attorneys.

These providers may use information as permitted by their agreements with us and their own privacy policies.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

• Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unauthorized transactions.

• Protect the rights, property, safety, and security of The Poke Ring, our customers, or others.

Business Transfers

If The Poke Ring is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide consent.

SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell personal information for money.

Some cookies, analytics tools, advertising services, or platform integrations may involve disclosures that certain privacy laws define as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising.

Where required by applicable law, eligible users may have the right to opt out of those activities. Available cookie controls, privacy settings, or opt-out mechanisms should be used where provided on our website.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies to:

• Keep the website and shopping cart functioning.

• Remember settings and account preferences.

• Maintain security and prevent fraud.

• Understand traffic and website performance.

• Measure marketing effectiveness.

• Provide or evaluate relevant advertising.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Where required, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies.

You may be able to manage cookies through our cookie banner, website settings, or browser controls. Blocking certain cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning properly.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

If you subscribe to marketing messages, we may send information about livestreams, pack drops, store updates, promotions, giveaways, and other news.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending non-promotional communications concerning an order, account, payment, shipment, policy update, or customer-service request.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Complete transactions and provide requested services.

• Maintain business, tax, accounting, and shipping records.

• Manage customer accounts and bundle histories.

• Resolve disputes and customer-service matters.

• Prevent fraud and enforce agreements.

• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, why it was collected, and applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information.

Our website and transactions rely on Wix and other service providers with their own security systems. No website, transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should contact us if they suspect unauthorized account activity.

CHILDREN AND MINORS

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Anyone under the age of majority where they live must have permission from a parent or legal guardian before creating an account or placing an order.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, they should contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request deletion of certain information.

• Request a portable copy of certain information.

• Object to or restrict certain processing.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling.

• Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.

• Lodge a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority.

• Receive equal service and pricing without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right.

These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every situation. We may retain information when permitted or required for transactions, fraud prevention, taxes, recordkeeping, legal compliance, disputes, or other lawful purposes.

To submit a privacy request, email thepokering@gmail.com with the subject line Privacy Request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where laws such as the European Union or United Kingdom data-protection rules apply, we process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract, including processing and fulfilling an order.

• Compliance with a legal obligation.

• Our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the business, provided those interests are not overridden by individual rights.

• Consent, where consent is required or requested.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

The Poke Ring is based in Pennsylvania, United States. Our website and service providers may process information in the United States and other countries.

Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live. Where required, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND PLATFORMS

Our website may link to YouTube, Discord, social-media services, payment providers, shipping carriers, and other third-party websites.

We do not control the privacy or security practices of third parties. Your interactions with those services are governed by their respective policies and settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations.

The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If a change is material, we may provide an additional notice where appropriate or required.
