We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy, and in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to the homepages of our websites or sending you an email notification). If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on our websites prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you use our websites, shop in our stores, call us on the phone, create an online account, sign up to receive our emails, request a catalog, participate in a sweepstakes, contest, promotion or survey, communicate with us via third party social media sites, request customer support, apply for a job or otherwise communicate with us.

The types of information we may collect include Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, zip code, billing address, shipping address, phone number, payment card information, product preferences, demographic information and any other information you choose to provide.

In some cases, we may also collect Personal Information and other information that you provide about others, such as when you purchase a gift card for someone and request that we deliver it electronically, create and share a “wish list” or decide to purchase and ship products to someone. We will use this information to fulfill your requests and will not send marketing communications to your contacts unless they separately opt in to receive communications from us.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

We automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use our websites or transact business with us. This information may include demographic information; IP address; browser type; operating system characteristics; information about your use of our websites and mobile applications; and data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device), such as unique device identifiers, type, model, version, MAC address, device or session ID, error related data status, capability, confirmation, functionality, performance data, and connection type. This information may also include clickstream data, which is information about the page-by-page paths you take as you browse through the websites.

The methods that we and our service providers may use to automatically collect such information include:

We collect information about your use of our websites, such as the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address and the referring link through which you accessed our websites.

Transaction Information

When you purchase or return a product, we collect information about the transaction, such as product details and the date and location of the purchase/return.

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”) and other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you interact with our websites or emails, including information about your browsing and purchasing behavior. We may combine this information with other information we collect about you and use it for various purposes, such as improving our websites and your online experience, understanding which areas and features of our sites are popular, counting visits, understanding campaign effectiveness, tailoring our communications with you, determining whether an email has been opened and links within the email have been clicked and for other internal business purposes.

Cookies

Cookies are data files that are placed on a computer when it is used to visit a website. These cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, tracking user preferences or web pages visited while using our websites. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to remove or reject cookies, but note that doing so does not necessarily affect third party flash cookies used in connection with our websites.

Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our websites. In addition, please be aware that if you choose to block cookies, some advertising preferences that are dependent on cookies may not be able to be respected.

Web Beacons

We may include small graphic images called web beacons, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs,” in our web pages and email messages. We may use web beacons or similar technologies for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count the number of visitors to our websites, to monitor how users navigate the websites, and to count how many emails that we sent were actually opened or how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

Location-identifying Technologies

We may use GPS (global positioning systems) software and other location-based technologies such as iBeacons (as defined below) to locate you so we may verify your location, and deliver relevant content to you based on your location. In addition to traditional GPS location-based services, we may install low power Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, radio transmitters, or other devices in physical locations, which emit a signal that we can detect to pinpoint your location or otherwise facilitate your interaction with our websites and offline retail locations (“iBeacons”).

Embedded Scripts

An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server or a third party with whom we work, is active only while you are connected to the Service, and is deleted or deactivated thereafter.

Information we automatically collect about you, such as how you interact with our websites, may be combined with your Personal Information. If we associate any such automatically-collected information with Personal Information about you, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

We and our business partners and other third parties may send you product promotions that are aligned with your purchase trends identified through automatically-collected information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OUR PARTNERS AND OTHER SOURCES

We may also obtain information about you from other sources and combine that with information we collect about you. For example, we collect information from the U.S. Postal Service’s national change of address database to verify and update mailing addresses. In addition, if you apply for a Wanna Buy A Watch? credit card, we obtain limited information about you from the partner that manages our co-brand credit card program. We may also supplement the information we collect about you with outside records from third party data cooperatives in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. If we receive Personal Information from a third party source and/or if we combine the information we receive from these third party sources with your Personal Information, we will treat that information as Personal Information. We are not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided by third parties or how such third parties collect, use and share such information.

By entering a Promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials. Wanna Buy A Watch? may offer opportunities to enter a contest or sweepstakes or other feature that we offer jointly with a third party. As a result of your participation in such feature, your information may be shared with the third party that is jointly offering the feature, which will be disclosed at the time your information is collected.

ADVERTISING, & ANALYTICS SERVICES AND ONLINE TRACKING

We engage third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services about the use of our websites and mobile applications. In addition, we may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant advertisements to our website and mobile application visitors based on their interests as reflected in their browsing of the websites and mobile applications and certain third party sites participating in the same networks and exchanges. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, and other technologies to automatically collect information about your use of our websites and mobile applications, such as your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by us and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our websites and other websites and better understand your online activity.

This means that some information about your browsing of our websites and mobile applications and certain third party sites may be shared with these companies for the purpose of delivering ads to you on our websites and mobile applications and certain third party sites, and Wanna Buy A Watch? may receive from some of these companies information about third party sites that you have visited. This information is used for marketing purposes and the practice is sometimes termed “retargeting” to indicate that information from one retailer is used to suggest to you relevant products offered by another retailer.

These and other third parties may also collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our websites and mobile applications.

We may also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of a customized campaign on other websites or platforms.

This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that such third parties themselves may have collected from you (e.g., type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and time of visit, page(s) visited) or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information (e.g., cookies, web beacons and clear gifs).

Note that your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, Wanna Buy A Watch? currently does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you may wish to visit All About Do Not Track (DNT).

Our websites may provide you the opportunity to participate and post content publicly through chat rooms, forums, interactive features, or other communication functionality (“Community Features”).

CALIFORNIA TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAINS ACT DISCLOSURE

Wanna Buy A Watch? is celebrating 115 years of expertise as the preeminent purveyor of fine timepieces. It is the policy of Wanna Buy A Watch? to provide a healthy, respectful and productive workplace for our employees. We support a respectful workplace with associates who are considerate of each other and always act with integrity and fairness. As enshrined in our Store Associate Handbook, although slavery and human trafficking are not explicitly referenced, we have zero tolerance for any form of discriminatory or harassing behavior, workplace violence, or any other type of disrespectful behavior. We uphold this policy with regards to all associates, applications, customers, vendors and business partners.

We expect our associates to always execute to the highest level of fairness, professionalism, and adherence to legal guidelines, and also to report any known or suspected violations of law, company policy or harassment to the attention of managers, human resources, or via Wanna Buy A Watch?’s hotline. Our hotline is available to employees 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and callers have the option of identifying themselves or remaining anonymous. The hotline is monitored and operated by an outside company. We prohibit any retaliation against associates who report concerns or participate in an investigation.

All reported allegations will be investigated promptly, thoroughly, and impartially. The investigation may include individual interviews with the parties involved and, where necessary, with individuals who may have observed the alleged conduct or may have other relevant knowledge. While some offenses may result in disciplinary action, other offenses could result in immediate termination.

While we applaud the purpose and spirit of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, the majority of our watches are certified as either Swiss-made or pre-owned, which we do not believe carry a significant risk of having human trafficking or slavery present in their supply chains. Therefore, at present we do not: (1) engage in verification of product supply chains to evaluate or address risks of human trafficking and slavery; (2) conduct audits of suppliers to evaluate supplier compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking standards; (3) require our suppliers to certify that they comply with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws in the country or countries in which they do business; (4) other than as set forth in our Store Associate Handbook, maintain internal accountability standards and procedures for employees or contractors for failing to meet anti-slavery and human trafficking standards; or (5) provide company employees or management who have direct responsibility for supply chain management with training on anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.
