Bumfeet ("Bumfeet," "us", "we" and "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of those who use, and order products on, our Website.

This "Privacy Policy" explains how information obtained through our Website is collected and used, and the ways in which we will protect the personal information that you provide, together with other information we may collect regarding your use of our Website ("Data").

What types of information do you collect?

We collect both "Personal Information" and "Anonymous Information" about our users.

How do you use cookies? What are cookies?

A cookie is a computer file consisting of letters and numbers which is installed on your device when you visit a website and which allow our Website to recognise a user and retain that user's preferences when they return. Cookies do not collect data, instead they serve to act as unique identifiers, or information caches, which can be used to identify a user's preferences, settings or previous activity and which in turn enable website operators to provide an optimised, improved and more individualised browsing experience.

Our Website may display advertising from third parties, who may set their own cookies providing information about the advertisement and user preferences. If you require further information about these you should consult the relevant third party's privacy policy.

Use of our Website may also result in Local Shared Objects (LSOs), including ‘flash cookies', being stored on your device. LSOs have a similar function to cookies, but are designed to function with specific applications (such as Adobe Flash Player). We may use local storage facilities in order to provide you with both online and offline functionality for our Website. For example, local storage may be used to store Website content on the device for access when the device is not connected to the internet.

Some internet browsers will temporarily store website data using a process known as ‘caching'. The creation of a website cache may improve loading speed and responsiveness and, in some cases, provide offline functionality. Most internet browsers support HTML 5 which permits website caching. Website caching typically requires greater storage capacity than cookies which, in turn, may provide greater improvements in speed and functionality.

How do you use cookies?

Cookies distinguish you from other users of our Website. For example, we use them to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart once you have selected an item, to store delivery addresses if the address book is used. This allows us to optimise your individual browsing experience and improve our service to you. Our partners, including Shopify, Paypal and Google Analytics, drop cookies on your device when you browse our Website and make purchases.

How do I disable cookies?

While we recommend that you allow the installation of cookies on your browser or device when using our Website, you are not obliged to do so and you can choose to disable cookies and LSOs by adjusting the settings for your browser or device. You can also delete those which already exist using the settings on your browser and/or device (however, this may interfere with your use of our Website and adversely affect your browsing experience).

 

What about amendments to this Privacy Policy?

We reserve the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice, and any changes will become effective immediately upon being posted unless we advise you otherwise. However, we will not use your Personal Information in a way that is adverse and materially different from the uses described in this Privacy Policy without giving you an opportunity to opt out. Your continued use of the Service after this Privacy Policy has been amended and you have been notified shall be deemed to be your continued acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, as amended. We encourage you to bookmark this webpage and review this Privacy Policy regularly.

If you have any questions regarding our Privacy Policy, you can contact us via email at info@bumfeet.com.
