This Privacy Policy describes how Spirit Halloween Superstores LLC ("Spirit," "we," "our," "us") may collect, use, or disclose personal information, including through its websites that link to this Privacy Policy, such as www.spirithalloween.com, (the "Websites"), and offline means, such in-store locations (together, the "Services").
This Privacy Policy does not apply to other online services that we control and maintain, but do not link to this Privacy Policy. We may provide you additional privacy notices at the point of collection of your personal information, which supplement this Privacy Policy.
As used in this Privacy Policy, the term "personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you. Personal information does not include information that is publicly available, de-identified, or aggregated.
We may obtain personal information from the following sources:
Below are the categories of personal information we collect. Note that the personal information we collect about you may vary depending on the nature of your interactions with us and may not include all of the examples listed below.
Spirit may combine information about you that we have collected with information we obtain from other parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We and our vendors may use a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, beacons, pixels, and APIs that collect certain information when you interact with the Websites. Depending on your device and browser settings, these tracking technologies may collect your IP address, device identifiers, user preferences, approximate geolocation, the pages you click on, and the website you visited immediately beforehand. Additionally, these technologies may collect details about how you interact with the Websites.
We may use these technologies for various purposes, including to provide functionality to the Websites, help us route traffic between servers, understand how the Websites are performing, how visitors use the Websites, improve features and content on the Websites, and for advertising purposes. We may combine certain information collected through tracking technologies with other information we obtain about you, which may include information we obtain from our vendors. We or other parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time when you use the Websites.
Technologies we use may include, but are not limited to:
Certain advertising tracking technology vendors may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com/. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain interest-based ads delivered by NAI members' ad networks. To learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based ads, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads.
You may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Some browsers may have a "Do Not Track" setting. Please note that the Websites are not designed to respond to "Do Not Track" settings.
We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, external-parties' opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
