Third-Party Links
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, SustainableBags.Net may link to sites operated by third parties. However, SustainableBags.Net has no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of SustainableBags.Net. These linked sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. Nonetheless, SustainableBags.Net seeks to protect the integrity of its web site and the links placed upon it and therefore requests any feedback on not only its own site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work).
When you provide us with information through SustainableBags.Net (the “Site”), we respect your privacy. It is important for you to understand what information we collect about you during your visit and what we do with that information. Your visit to the Site is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. Please note that this Privacy Policy governs only information provided to SustainableBags.Net. It does not govern any other information or communications that may reference SustainableBags.Net e.g., communications from retailers or brick and mortar stores. This Privacy Policy was last updated 2/1/2010.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
We do not collect personally identifiable information about you, except when you provide it to us. For example, if you decide to make a purchase, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your contact information (name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number), and products you purchased. If you decide to place an order, we will also need to know your delivery and billing address, credit card number and expiration date. To protect your personal information, users have an option to register at the Site and must also enter a user name/email address and password. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information. When you submit your personally identifiable information on the Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
If you opt-in during the Site registration process or at other times when you submit personally identifiable information, the information you provide may be used by SustainableBags.Net to create and deliver to you emails such as our newsletters, or other email messages containing product information, or promotions. If you prefer not to receive such Opt-In Emails, please do not opt-in to receive these emails. If you do opt-in and later decide that you would no longer like to receive these emails, you can opt out at any time by contacting SustainableBags.Net . If you have elected to provide us with your contact information, e.g., by registering at the Site, emailing our Customer Service department or placing an order, we may provide you with service related announcements concerning the Site or contact you regarding your customer service requests or your order. For example, all registered users will receive a welcoming email to confirm their registration. We may also contact you to respond to product questions or concerns that you may express. These types of communications are necessary to serve you, respond to your concerns and to provide the high level of customer service that SustainableBags.Net offers its customers.
