Welcome shoppers! The following policy
describes the types of information we collect when you visit our store and
how we use that information. To learn about our privacy practices on the
Google site generally, please see our main
Privacy Policy.
What information do we collect?
To shop in our store, you will need to create a Google account. Your account is protected by a password that you choose. We will ask for your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses and telephone numbers. If you wish to pay by credit card, we will also ask for your credit card information which will be maintained in encrypted form for your protection. This account information is kept along with your order history. You can view your account information and the status of your orders by clicking on the “My Account” page at any time.
In addition, we also log information about your visit to the store, including the URL that you came from, your Internet Protocol address, domain type (e.g., .com, .org), Google Store pages that you view and search terms you use.
How do we use personal information?
The information you provide to purchase merchandise from the Google Store is used to fulfill your order. In addition, you may choose to receive an email newsletter with special promotions, new arrivals or new features of the site. You can remove yourself from our newsletter list by changing your selection on the “My Account” page at any time.
In addition, we use log information from the Google Store in order to enhance the operation of the Store. We do not correlate personally identifying information collected in the Google Store with any other information that you provide when using other Google products or services.
What about cookies?
A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. When you visit the Google Store, we set a cookie on your computer to help identify you, customize your experience and maintain your account and order information. To protect the security of your account, you must accept the Google Store cookie in order to shop here.
Do we share personal information?
The Google Store is operated by GatewayCDI to fulfill your orders. As such, both Google and GatewayCDI may collect and share your information to fulfill your order. We do not sell or rent any personal information to others. We may, however, disclose personal information if we believe we are required to do so by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Google, its users and the public.
Personal information collected by Google may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Google Inc. or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Google Store, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
How do we keep your information secure?
The personal information that you provide to Google Store, including your credit card information, is maintained on secure servers and protected by industry-standard Secure Socket Layer encryption. When entering personal information, look for an icon at the bottom of your browser window that indicates you are on a secure page.
