For example, in registering to use our web store we ask for your name, your postal address, your telephone number, your e-mail address, your age and a number of other data. We may store your personally identifiable information alongside non-personally identifiable information about you.

With your consent, your personally identifiable information may be used to send you our newsletter, product information, or other advertising material. The data you make available to us may be used in its aggregate and anonymous form for internal business purposes such as producing statistics or developing of marketing strategies. We will not use your personally identifiable information in any manner not set forth in the Privacy Policy without your prior consent.

We are entitled to disclose your personally identifiable information should we consider the disclosure necessary to be in compliance with any applicable laws, regulations, changes in the law, and/or governmental requirements.

B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including your partial IP address, anonymous traffic data that does not personally identify you, your type of computer, your type of web browser, and tracking your activities through your IP address, computer settings or most recently visited URL. We may also ask you to provide certain non-personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your age. We will also collect and store certain non-personal “utilization” data such as information concerning which of our pages you most frequently visit. We may sell or transfer such non-personal data to our subsidiaries, our franchise holders and partners.

C. Google Analytics. The Site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using the Site, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

D. Notice Concerning Minors. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. In fact, we do not offer the Nuclear Blast Services to anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not submit personally identifiable information or use the Site or Nuclear Blast Services.

We will take reasonable steps to require any third parties who you authorize us to share your information with to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your information if, among other things, we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or if acting with a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (1) comply with legal process; (2) enforce the Terms of Use; (3) respond to legal claims; (4) respond to your requests for customer services or transaction completion; or (5) protect the rights, property or personal safety of us, the Nuclear Blast Services’ users, or the public.
