This Privacy and Security Policy governs the privacy and security practices of The Spite Site; websites operated by The Spite Site (including, but not limited to, www.thespitesite.com); and, companies owned by The Spite Site and/or its principal shareholders.

1.2 Applicability of Privacy and Security Policy

Our Privacy and Security Policy applies to all individuals and entities from whom or for the benefit of whom we receive personally identifiable information (also commonly referred to as personally identifying information) (“PII”), whether the PII be collected through our corporate owned websites; traditional mailing and/or faxing channels; telephone or electronic communications; from some other medium; or from our clients.

This Privacy and Security Policy explains how The Spite Site collects, uses, discloses and protects the information we obtain.

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW IT IS USED

2.1 Personally Identifiable Information is any information that would, by itself, identify you or tend to identify you as a particular individual or entity. This personally identifiable information may include, but not be limited to, your name, your address, credit card number, bank account information, and/or personal identification number (such as a social security number or driver’s license number).

2.1.1 Personally identifiable information does not include any public information that is readily attainable through federal, state or local public record distribution channels.

2.1.2 Personally identifiable information does not include any information that, by itself, could not identify you as a particular individual or entity.

2.2 Information Collected

2.2.1 The Spite Site collects information that is considered PII and other information that, by itself, would not be considered personally identifiable information, such as financial information, a customer’s order history, and items included in the customer’s “shopping cart.”

2.2.2 Typically, The Spite Site limits the personally identifiable information collected about an individual or entity to the individual’s or entity’s name, address, shipping information, billing information, electronic mail (“e-mail”) address, and credit card information.

2.3 Collecting and Using Personal Information

2.3.1 The Spite Site will explain how it intends to use your personally identifiable information either before it collects the information (such as in this Privacy and Security Policy) or contemporaneously with the solicitation of such information about you. Exceptions may exist where the intended use is obvious to a reasonable person.

2.3.2 We will use the information collected only for the purposes explained to you. Further, we limit the collection of personally identifiable information to only that information which is necessary for the purposes explained to you.

2.3.3 Unless we are required to do so by law, we shall not obtain your consent before collecting personal identifying information about you from parties other than The Spite Site. Rather, The Spite Site shall presume that you have previously provided such consent to any such third party from whom The Spite Site obtains such information.

2.3.4 The Spite Site restricts the use of your personally identifiable information to The Spite Site’s personnel.

2.3.5 We shall not sell your personally identifiable information in the normal course of business operations. Should the Website be sold, this paragraph shall not restrict the transfer of your PII as part of the Website sold to a third party.

2.3.5. We may use your e-mail or regular mail address to send you communications about your transactions and our company as well as to notify you of relevant product news, new products and services, or other information that we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive electronic communications unrelated to your transactions with our company, you may “opt out” of the electronic distributions upon receipt of any such communication. To discontinue receipt of traditional mail communications, or if you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact our Privacy Officer directly (as provided below), or send a detailed e-mail to info@thespitesite.com.

2.4 Disclosing Personal Information

2.4.1 General.

The Spite Site may provide your personally identifiable information to other persons, but only where we have your consent or where we have obtained information about you from a third party (presuming that you have previously provided such consent to any such third party from whom The Spite Site obtains such information) or where we are required or permitted to do so by law.

2.4.2 Strategic Partners.

The Spite Site may employ, engage or retain certain trusted third parties (“Strategic Partners”) to perform functions and/or provide services on its behalf. The Spite Site will share PII with these strategic partners only to the extent necessary to perform the functions and/or provide the services for which they have been employed, engaged or retained. The Spite Site shall also secure contractual obligations from our strategic partners to maintain the privacy and security of the PII shared with them.

2.4.3 Business Transfers.

The Spite Site reserves the right to sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your PII, in connection with a sale of assets; a merger, acquisition, or reorganization; or, filing for bankruptcy.

2.4.4 Legal Compliance.

The Spite Site may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims or legal process (including subpoenas); to protect the property and rights of The Spite Site, its strategic partners or other third parties; to protect the safety of the public or any person; to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity; or, generally, to comply with the law.
