INFORMATION WE COLLECT BY AUTOMATED MEANS

 

When you use our Site, we may collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons (including tags and pixels from third parties such as Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/)) and JavaScript.

 

Cookies are files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected devices to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Our Site may use cookies (such as HTTP cookies) and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage). Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our Site or other websites and online services.

 

In conjunction with gathering information through cookies, our web servers may log information such as your device type, operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The web server logs also may record information such as the address of the web page that referred you to our Site and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. They also may log information about your interaction with the Site, such as which pages you visit. To control which web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our web pages called “web beacons,” which are small files that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies. We also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to gather the sorts of information described above and other details about your interactions with the Site. 

 

Our Site also uses third-party plug-ins for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube. The providers of these plug-ins may collect your data using automated means when you interact with them.

ONLINE TRACKING

 

You may see our ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site because we engage in retargeting.

INFORMATION WE SHARE

 

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information we collect about you, except as described in this Online Privacy Notice. We may share personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf based on our instructions. These service providers include: to provide targeted and personalized content, offers, and advertising; process credit card payments; and provide web hosting services.  We do not authorize our service providers to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We also may share certain personal information with our affiliates for the purposes described in this Online Privacy Notice.

You have the option to prevent disclosure of your information in connection with a marketing database. Accordingly, you may object at any time free of charge to the use of your personal information in connection with a marketing database or withdraw any consent you previously provided to us and we will apply your preferences going forward.

The types of Personal Data Azuro Republic collects directly from Consumers includes:

 

• Contact information (such as name, postal address, telephone number, and email address);
• date of birth
• login credentials for Azuro Republic’s website;
• payment information (such as payment card details);

Azuro Republic also may obtain and use Consumer Personal Data in other ways for which Azuro Republic provides specific notice at the time of collection. 

 

 

Notice

Azuro Republic provides information in this Policy about its Consumer Personal Data practices, including the types of Personal Data Azuro Republic collects, the types of third parties to which Azuro Republic discloses the Personal Data and the purposes for doing so, the rights and choices Consumers have for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Data, and how to contact Azuro Republic about its practices concerning Personal Data.

 

Relevant information also may be found in notices pertaining to specific data processing activities.

 

Choice

Azuro Republic generally offers Consumers the opportunity to choose whether their Personal Data may be (i) disclosed to third-party Controllers or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer.  To the extent, Azuro Republic obtains opt-in consent for certain uses and disclosures of Sensitive Data.  Consumers may contact Azuro Republic as specified below regarding the company’s use or disclosure of their Personal Data.  Unless Azuro Republic offers Consumers an appropriate choice, the company uses Personal Data only for purposes that are materially the same as those indicated in this Policy. 

 

Azuro Republic shares Consumer Personal Data with its affiliates and subsidiaries.  Azuro Republic may disclose Consumer Personal Data without offering an opportunity to opt-out and may be required to disclose the Personal Data, (i) to third-party Processors the company has retained to perform services on its behalf and pursuant to its instructions, (ii) if it is required to do so by law or legal process, or (iii) in response to lawful requests from public authorities, including to meet national security, public interest or law enforcement requirements.  Azuro Republic also reserves the right to transfer Personal Data in the event of an audit or if the company sells or transfers all or a portion of its business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation).

  

Security

Azuro Republic takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Consumer Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data.

 

Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation

Azuro Republic limits the Consumer Personal Data it processes to that which is relevant for the purposes of the particular processing.  Azuro Republic does not process Consumer Personal Data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer.  In addition, to the extent necessary for these purposes, Azuro Republic takes reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data the company processes is (i) reliable for its intended use, and (ii) accurate, complete and current.  In this regard, Azuro Republic relies on its Consumers to update and correct the relevant Personal Data to the extent necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized.  Consumers may contact Azuro Republic as specified below to request that Azuro Republic update or correct relevant Personal Data. 

 

Subject to applicable law, Azuro Republic retains Consumer Personal Data in a form that identifies or renders identifiable the relevant Consumer only for as long as it serves a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected or subsequently authorized by the Consumer.

 

Access

Consumers generally have the right to access their Personal Data.  Accordingly, where appropriate, Azuro Republic provides Consumers with reasonable access to the Personal Data Azuro Republic maintains about them.  Azuro Republic also provides a reasonable opportunity for those Consumers to correct, amend or delete the information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Privacy Policy Principles, as appropriate.  Azuro Republic may limit or deny access to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Consumer’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the Consumer would be violated.  Consumers may request access to their Personal Data by contacting Azuro Republic as specified below.
