PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 2.20.20

Hey Adventurers, welcome to our Privacy Policy page! Here at AWA we are far from legal experts, but we always like to make sure we are playing by the rules, so we got a lawyer to write this up for us. It is a standard policy and very similar to that of other websites you likely use on a daily basis (believe us, we had the pleasure of reading a bunch of them!). In any event, we took a break from the more exciting Adventure based stuff to make sure we followed our lawyer’s advice – as she’s smarter than us when it comes to this stuff – and put this here in case you had any questions. So, without further ado, we hope you enjoy!

**********

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how Accidentally Wes Anderson (“AWA” or “we” or “our” or “us”) collects, stores, shares, and uses information, and your choices about privacy when you use our website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy is part of and incorporated into our Terms and Conditions, which can be viewed at: AccidentallyWesAnderson.com/terms

AWA knows that you care and are concerned about how your personal information is used and shared. Your privacy is important to us, and we ask that you read this Policy carefully to be informed about our practices.

I. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

II. What Personal Information Do We Collect?

The Personal Information we collect from Users of the Website enables us to communicate with you.

In order to submit photography to AWA, you are required to do so using your email address which we will store.
If you have signed up to receive our newsletters, we will use your stored email address to send it to you.
Whenever you view, access, or interact with our Website, Google Analytics automatically collects information such as your IP address and web browser, which information is then stored by them.

We may place, or allow our technology and advertising partners to place, on your computer “cookies” and “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, 1-by-1 GIFs, and web bugs), which are identifiers transferred to your computer through your browser that allow us to undertake reporting, including but not limited to the ability to recognize your browser and tell us how, when, and which pages of our Website are visited, advertisements that are viewed, and how many people are active on our Website at any given time.

When we collect such usage information, we use this data in anonymized and aggregated form, and not in a manner that can identify you or your household.

We do not disclose anonymized or aggregated information to a third-party service provider in a manner that can identify you or your household.

If you receive an email from us which was sourced from a third-party service provider and wish to opt out, please use the unsubscribe functionality found at the bottom of the email to do so.

III. Will We Share Any of the Personal Information We Receive?

Third-Party Service Providers: We engage with third-party service providers to undertake work on our behalf and in doing so may be required to share Personal Information with them in furtherance of their work with us and in order to provide products and services to you.

to develop and display more customized content and ads to you on or off our Website;
to promote and maintain a trusted, safer, and more reliable environment on our Services, for example, to help detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, conduct investigations or risk assessments, or verify actions taken by you or associated with your account;
to contact you (by email, mobile devices, SMS text message, or as otherwise authorized by you) in order to address issues with your account or use of our Services, send you updates about our Services or policies, or for other purposes permitted by law;

Request the rectification or deletion of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Information;
Withdraw consent given to AWA for the collection of their Personal Information at any time, including the right to unsubscribe or to opt out of marketing communications of AWA.

Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. The Website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site you should read that site’s privacy policy and/or terms of use.
