We encourage you to thoroughly review this Privacy Policy.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTED

We may collect and retain both Personal Information and non-Personal Information that you provide to us through our websites ("Sites) and stores, or that we receive from third parties, or through other interactions with you. "Personal Information," as used in this Privacy Policy, refers to information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or household. Over time, non-Personal Information may become Personal Information due to regulatory developments, technological advancements, or the co-mingling of personal and non-Personal Information. Categories of information we collect from you may include:

Purchase Information: We may collect your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card number, and expiration date when you make a purchase. This information is used to provide the products and services that you have ordered, process and ship orders, send order and shipping confirmations (or other transactional information), and/or to provide customer service. Information Collected In-Store: We may collect your name, email address, mailing address, zip code, and preferences if you complete a form within the store. This information will be used to provide you with products that may be of interest to you and to provide you with information that you request. Account Information: We may collect your name, email address, mailing address, zip code, date of birth, and gender if you create an account with us or join one of our Loyalty Club programs. This information will be used to help you keep track of your orders, to keep you updated about special offers, updates related to the Sites, and to facilitate checkout during purchases. This information may be collected directly from you or from third parties. Information for Recruiting and Human Resources: We may collect your name, email address, mailing address, government issued identification card, gender, birth date, insurance policy number, education, employment history, bank account number, other financial information, medical information, health insurance information, or protected classification characteristics under state or federal laws such as age, race, or citizenship if you apply for employment or become an employee of Boardriders.

It will also be subject to the terms accompanying such promotion. Survey Information: We may collect your name, age, zip code, shopping habits, email address, and/or mailing address if you choose to participate in one of our online surveys. This information will be used to help provide us with relevant information about our consumers. Usage Information: We may passively collect usage information while you are visiting the Sites. We call this "passive" collection since you may not know that this information is being collected when you visit or interact with the Sites. This information may consist of the following items: Site visitors' IP address, IP address-related information, system Media Access Control address, network configuration information, network device information, browser plug-in type and versions, and operating system.

Information from Other Websites, Including Mobile Applications and Social Media Platforms: If you use a social media platform or your mobile device (or other methods of communication) to interact with the Sites, that platform or application may have a specific privacy policy that governs the use of Personal Information related to it. For example, if you use a mobile application and your mobile device's settings allow it, we may collect mobile location information from your device. Our application may be designed to collect information even if you are not logged into the application or the Sites. If you have questions about the security and privacy settings of your mobile device, please refer to instructions from your mobile service provider or the manufacturer of your device to learn how to adjust your settings. We do not control the data collection or privacy practices of the application stores from which you download our mobile application or of any third-party platform through which you access our Sites or contact us. Information from Other Sources: We also may obtain, collect, and aggregate information provided to us by our marketing service providers and other vendors, including information on current subscribers or customers, and is used for a number of things, including enabling us to send you offers and announcements specifically tailored for you and your interests. You can update your information or change your preferences regarding receiving announcements and other information from us at any time by accessing your account via the Sites.

2. COOKIES AND OTHER SESSION IDENTIFIERS

We, and third parties we allow, utilize a technology called a "cookie" that is a piece of information that is placed on your browser when you access the Sites. In many cases, the information collected using cookies (and related technologies) is used in non-identifiable ways, without reference to Personal Information. For example, we use the information we collect about users of the Sites to optimize our Sites and to understand traffic and usage patterns. In other cases, we may associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information.

We use cookies to provide additional functionality to the Sites and help us to analyze usage of the Sites more accurately. For instance, the Sites may set a cookie on your browser that allows the Sites to remember you during future visits. We use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of the Sites. Cookies are also used to track the identity of websites you visited immediately prior to visiting the Sites; other than that, we do not track information about your use of other websites. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves the Site without checking out. Cookies are not used on the Sites to store your account information as this information is stored securely on a server. When you log in to the Sites with your username and password, we will assign you a secure session ID. The server then passes your information to you through this secure session ID. Cookies may be session cookies (i.e., last only for one browser session) or persistent cookies (i.e., continue in your browser until they are deleted or expire). Some of the cookies we use may be flash cookies or Adobe cookies. They may contain demographic information, and depending on your browser, these cookies may not normally be deleted when your cookies are deleted.

We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about the use of the Sites and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online services. You can learn about Google's privacy practices by going to https://google.com/policies/privacy/partners. You may also opt-out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

We also use Adobe Analytics to measure the performance of the Sites, to share relevant information and advertising with you based on your and other visitors' past visits to the Sites, and help us measure your interactions with any Company advertising you see on other websites. For further information on Adobe Analytics and to opt out, please click here: https://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html.

We may use advertisers, third-party ad networks, and other advertising companies to provide advertisements on our Sites and on third-party websites. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, or other technologies to gather information about your visit to our Sites to enable them to market products or services to you, to monitor which ads have been served to your browser and which web pages you were viewing when such ads were delivered. These third-party advertising companies may employ first-party cookies or third-party cookies. Unlike third-party cookies, first-party cookies are hosted on the Company's servers. More information about your choices regarding this practice is available at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_ou... or http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_ou...

We recommend that you leave cookies turned on as they allow you to take advantage of some of the features of the Sites. However, you have the ability to control the use and moderation of our cookies. If you elect not to allow cookies to be placed as provided herein, you may not be able to use or enjoy all of the services and features of the Sites. You can configure the settings on your browser (i) to notify you when you are receiving new cookies, (ii) to disable cookies, or (iii) to delete cookies. Please refer to your Web browser's help section for information on how to do this.

3. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED

We may use your Personal Information in the following ways:

Access and Use: If you provide Personal Information in order to use the Sites or any functionality thereof, we will use your Personal Information to provide you with access to or use of the Sites or functionality and to monitor your use of the Sites or specific functionalities. Internal Business Purposes: We may use your Personal Information for internal business purposes such as helping us improve the content and functionality of the Sites, to better understand user behavior, to improve the Sites, to protect against fraudulent activities, to manage your account, to provide you with customer service, and to generally manage the Sites and our business. Marketing: We may use your Personal Information to contact you for marketing and advertising purposes, such as informing you about offers, contests, or surveys that may be of interest to you and to display content and advertising on or off the Sites which may be of relevance to you. If you wish to change or update your Personal Information or to change your subscription preferences, you may do so as provided herein. We also use your Personal Information for other marketing reasons, such as administering our loyalty programs. Recruiting and Human Resources: We collect and use candidate and applicant Personal Information for recruiting and human resources purposes such as evaluating and selecting candidates for potential employment, recordkeeping, ensuring compliance with legal requirements (e.g., diversity and inclusion requirements and practices), conducting reference or other background checks permitted by applicable law, protecting our legal rights to the extent authorized or permitted by law, and communication with candidates and applicants regarding the recruiting process. If you are hired, we will also use relevant portions of your Personal Information to establish a basic employment record. We may also analyze your Personal Information or aggregated/anonymized data to improve our recruiting processes. Specific Reason: If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use it in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we may use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or to attempt to resolve your issue and will respond to the email address from which the contact came. Aggregated Information: We (either directly or working in concert with our marketing services providers) may conduct research on our customer demographics, interests, and behavior based on Personal Information and other information that has been provided or received by us. For example, we may combine information about visitors to the Sites to determine how best to target our marketing. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis such that it does not identify you personally and is not classified or treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may also share your Personal Information with our subsidiaries and/or affiliates, who will treat and maintain any Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also share the Personal Information we collect to the following categories of third parties in the following circumstances:

Order Fulfillment and Fraud Protection: If you choose to make a purchase on the Sites, we may collect from you your credit card number, billing address, and other information related to such purchase, and we may use such collected information in order to fulfill your purchase. We may also provide such information, or other Personal Information provided by you, to unaffiliated third parties as necessary to complete your purchase (for example, to process your credit card). In addition, we may share your Personal Information with fraud protection services to assist us in preventing fraud and protecting our customers from credit card fraud. Business Transfers: As with any business, it is possible that as our business develops, we might sell, assign, buy, transfer, or otherwise acquire or dispose of certain businesses or corporate assets. In the event of such or similar events, Personal Information may be part of the transferred assets. Agents, Consultants, and Related Third Parties: As noted above with respect to our eCommerce service provider, we sometimes engage other companies to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf so that we can focus on our core business. Examples of these services include but are not limited to payment processing and authorization, fraud protection and credit risk reduction, product customization, order fulfillment and shipping, marketing and promotional material distribution, website evaluation, data analysis, and, where applicable, data cleansing. In connection with services those partners provide for us, we may provide or otherwise give them access to certain Personal Information. Third-Party Marketers, Partners, and Other Third Parties: We may share your Personal Information with other marketers, partners, and other third parties, whose products or services we feel may be of interest to you.

6. STEPS TAKEN TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

We have implemented information security measures that contain administrative, technical, and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard your Personal Information. Even though we take significant steps to protect this information, no company, including us, can fully eliminate all security risks associated with Personal Information. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any information that you transfer to us is done so at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your Personal Information that we have collected or our system security has been breached, please email us at [email protected].

7. YOUR CHOICES AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

You have several choices available when it comes to your Personal Information. We will honor the choices you make regarding your Personal Information. If you have created and maintained a user account on the Sites, you will be able to sign in and update your account (including contact) information. You may also write to us at the address provided in Section 14 to update your contact information or to change your subscription preferences. In addition, you may:

Limit the Personal Information You Provide: You can use the Sites and limit the Personal Information you provide either by disabling cookies or by not registering an account with us. If you choose to limit the Personal Information you provide and/or to disable cookies, you may not be able to use certain functionalities of the Sites. For instance, in order to purchase goods and services on the Sites, payment and shipping information must necessarily be provided. Manage Your Subscription Preferences: We may send your information by email or text message. If you provide your mobile phone number and ask to receive information by text message, we may provide information in that manner. Opt Out of Marketing Emails: For email marketing, you will have an opportunity to change your subscription preferences by clicking on an "unsubscribe" hyperlink contained in all promotional emails sent by us or on our behalf. Please note that while we honor all subscription requests as timely as possible, it may take up to ten (10) business days to become effective. Please be aware that even if you opt-out of receiving future promotional communications, you may, if you utilize the eCommerce features of the Sites, be sent transactional communications related to the purchase or shipment of items purchased. Thus, if you order online, we will send you an email confirming your order and may contact you by phone, email, or regular mail if we have questions about your order. Additionally, an opt-out will not remove you from messages that we are required to send under relevant laws or regulations. You may ask us not to contact you by text message at any time by responding to a text message after it is received. For automated text messages, you will have the opportunity to opt-out by replying "STOP" to any message received. We will also send you a confirmatory message in response to any opt-out request.

Please refer to the privacy settings of the social media website or application to determine how you may adjust your permissions and manage the interactivity between us and your social media platform(s) or application(s). If you post information to public forums, including social media platforms, that information may become available to all who access such platform pages.

8. LINKING TO OR FROM THIRD PARTY SITES

The Sites may contain links to websites not operated or controlled by us (the "Third-Party Sites"). We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or actions of Third-Party Sites; rather, the owners and operators of all Third-Party Sites are responsible for all Personal Information provided, collected, maintained, stored, or otherwise disclosed on those sites. The links on the Sites do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third-Party Sites, including their privacy policies. If you have any questions about how these Third-Party Sites use your Personal Information, you should contact the operators of those sites directly for information.

If you have accessed the Sites through a link from certain of our advertising or marketing partners, the Sites may include a frame of the applicable advertising or marketing partner.
