OFW Brands LLC Privacy Policy

OFW BRANDS LLC

PRIVACY POLICY

OFW Brands LLC has created this website to provide online shoppers with a convenient forum to view and purchase office furniture.


OFW Brands LLC is committed to maintaining your privacy. This privacy policy and agreement (the "Privacy Policy") covers how we collect, use, and treat personal information that you may provide:

  • through the Website or while participating in the services that are offered at the Website (the "Services"); or
  • directly to us upon our request and while visiting one of the physical locations as further set out in this Privacy Policy

 

The Privacy Policy applies to any visitor to the Website (collectively, "you"), including:

  • casual visitors to the Site who do not purchase on the website ("Site Visitors"); and
  • users who are and have purchased through the Website (collectively, "Registered Users").

Your Consent

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully because once you consent to this Privacy Policy and its terms, it creates legal obligations on you and on OFW Brands LLC.

                Consent by Site Visitors

                By accessing and using the Website as a Site Visitor, you are acknowledging that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy, and agree to be legally bound by it. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please refrain from using the Site.

                Consent by Registered Users

                If you wish to become a Registered User of the Site, then you will be prompted to click the "Create   Account" or similar button to create an account, and a link to this Privacy Policy is included near the button. By clicking the "Create Account" or similar button, you are affirmatively agreeing that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy, and to be legally bound by it.

The Information We Collect

Information that you may provide or that we may collect from you while visiting the Site or while participating in the Services falls into three broad categories:

  • Personal Data;
  • Non-Personal Data; and
  • Anonymous Information.

 

                                Personal Data

                                The term "Personal Data" means any information that identifies you as an individual. The Personal Data collected may include the following:

  • Your name;
  • Your address;
  • Your email address;
  • Your phone number;
  • Your payment information;
  • Your browsing history when logged into the website; and
  • Your order history.

                                Non-Personal Data

                                Technical and device-related information is collected that is not defined as Personal Data, but instead identifies or may reasonably be used to identify, a particular user device (collectively, "Non-Personal Data"). Non-Personal Data is typically collected automatically by technical means and, subject to Section (Treatment of Combined Information), for purposes of the Site consists of the following:

  • Device identifiers, such as cookies;
  • Device information, such as hardware and software settings;
  • IP addresses and log information, such as your device's name, the type and version of your web browser, and referrer addresses that can function to identify a user device; and
  • Tracking information that we, or a third party, collects.

Anonymous Information

We may also collect, process, and use information that does not identify you or your devices, including Personal Data that has been made anonymous by:

  • removing identifying fields and aggregating the information with other information so that individuals cannot be re-identified, or
  • anonymizing the information with techniques that remove or modify the identifying data so as to prevent re-identification of the anonymized information (collectively, "Anonymous Information"). Information that meets these criteria might include, for example, demographic information, statistical information (e.g., page views and hit counts), and general tracking information.

How We Collect Personal Data

As a Site Visitor, we allow you to decide whether you wish to provide us with Personal Data. Accordingly, we have structured our Website so that you may visit our Site, and review selected information about our Services, without revealing your identity or providing any Personal Data. We will only share Personal Data you choose to provide to us via the Website with third parties as disclosed in this Privacy Policy. We collect information from you at different points on the Website and through Services:

Site Visitors

As a Site Visitor, you are able to come to the Site and review selected information about our Services without providing any Personal Data. In that case, the only information that is collected from your visit will be Non-Personal Data or Anonymous Information.

Registration Information; User Names

In order to participate in our Services as a Registered User, we require that you complete a registration form. Our registration forms will specify the information that you must provide in order to use our Website, which may include such Personal Data as your: (i) name; (ii) email address; (iii) mailing address; (iv) phone number; and (v) payment information. Our registration forms may also request information that you can choose to provide or withhold. The registration process provides Registered Users with an email username and password, which allows them to gain access to password-protected portions of the Website and to otherwise use certain functionality available on our Site. This information is used by OFW's in providing the Website and related Services, as further detailed below. The benefits of becoming a Registered User are set forth on our Website and in our Terms and Conditions of Use.

We will use Personal Data to determine which communications may interest you, and to send such communications. If we choose to undertake such communications, you will have the ability to opt out of receiving these communication.

Verifying Identity

When you request Services or information from us, we may use Personal Data (and other information that we have about you) to verify your identity and to process your request. This is designed to further protect you and to reduce the threat of identity theft and fraudulent transactions.
