At Fortis Labs dba Cows vs Aliens (referred to as “Fortis,” “us,” “our” or “we”), we recognize that your privacy is important. Cows vs Aliens’ Privacy Policy (referred to as “Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for cowsvsaliens.io and all other Cows vs Aliens websites, applications, products, services, and sales transactions (collectively referred to as the “Products”). This Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and shared. This Policy is designed to be read in connection with the Terms of Service. By accessing or using our Products, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Service and this Policy.

1. How and What Information We Collect

We do not collect any information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us by visiting our Site, completing a transaction on our Site for the purchase of our Products, or communicating with us. When you browse our websites, we automatically receive aggregate information about your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address and the type of computer and web browser you use. When you purchase Products from our websites as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal identification information you give us such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, and credit card payment information. We may also collect other personal information from you as a result of your communications with us and interactions on our website under the Terms of Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

When you use our Site and engage in a transaction, we use your personal information to complete payment, deliver purchased Products, communicate with you regarding the transaction, enhance the operation of our Site, improve our internal marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve our product offerings, and customize our Site’s content, layout, and services. When you provide your personal contact information, such as your email address, we may use this information to deliver newsletters, promotional offers and other useful information to you. Finally, we may use the information you provide to us to provide non-promotional notices, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Service, and this Policy.

3. Consent to the Collection and Use of Your Information

BY USING THE SITE, YOU GIVE YOUR CONSENT THAT ALL PERSONAL DATA THAT MAY BE PROCESSED BY US IN THE MANNER AND FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE SITE. When you provide your personal contact information, such as your email address, you are given your affirmative consent to receive promotional communications from us. If you change your mind after you provide your affirmative consent, you may withdraw your consent on the Site or by contacting us (see contact information below) with an unsubscribe notice. If we send you any commercial communication via email, we will also provide an unsubscribe mechanism therein. Please allow up to 10 days for us to process any unsubscribe request.

4. Disclosure to Third Parties

We have made contractual arrangements with affiliates, service providers, partners and other third parties (“Service Providers”) to process your Personal information on our behalf. Our Service Providers may need to use some of your information in order to perform tasks between our respective sites and to deliver products or services to you or to us. For example, we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for Products purchased on the Site, release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered, and provide order information to third parties that help us provide customer service. Other Service Partners include third parties who operate and maintain our Site and provide marketing services. In general, the Service Providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to you or us.

Many of our third-party Service Providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies governing the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies, so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction other than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that Service Provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. We encourage our Service Providers to adopt and promote strong privacy policies. However, the use of your information by our Service Providers is governed by the respective privacy policies of those providers in the country in which they reside and is not subject to our control. Except as otherwise discussed in this Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.
