Privacy

 

Background:

Welcome to the ReCircled privacy policy. ReCircled operates the website available at www.rewound.timex.com that offers a return management system and the website available at http://www.rewound.timex.com/ for the sale of upcycled watches and related items from Timex. Though Timex owns the URL for the Timex sites and the Timex sites use framing techniques to make it appear that the user is on a website operated by Timex (e.g., by including marks and images owned by Timex), the Timex are operated by ReCircled on behalf of ReCircled LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, located at 1801 California Street, Suite 2400, Denver, CO 80202 (“ReCircled”).  ReCircled is an authorized vendor of Timex and is providing the products and services for sale on Timex sites. Accordingly, any information provided on the Timex site is being provided to ReCircled, which ReCircled may use and disclose in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In this Privacy Policy we refer to Timex as a “brand partner”. We sometimes refer to ReCircled as “we”, “us”, or “our”). 

We may share your information with Timex, but only as described herein. If we share your information with Timex in accordance with this Privacy Policy, Timex may also use your information in accordance with Timex's Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains our data practices regarding Personal Information (as defined below in the section entitled “Information We Collect”) and other information collected by ReCircled in connection with your use of the TIMEX Sites.

Scope:

This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Information and other information that we collect from or about visitors to or users of the TIMEX Sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to publicly available information or any information you post to any public areas of the TIMEX Sites, such as any suggestions, comments, ideas, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Submissions”). Your Submissions may be read, collected, and used by third parties and as a result, you may be contacted by such third parties whom we do not control.

Information We Collect:

When you engage with the TIMEX Sites, we may collect information that alone or in combination with other information could be used to identify you (“Personal Information”) as described below:

Personal Information: When you register for an account with us or place an order through the TIMEX Sites, we will ask you to create an account password and provide us with your:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Postal address
  • Payment information

We may collect Personal Information when you interact with customer service or post comments on our blog, and when you purchase goods on the TIMEX Sites (including your purchase history).

By voluntarily visiting or engaging with the TIMEX Sites and providing us with Personal Information, you consent to our use of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Demographic Information: When you engage with the TIMEX Sites, we may ask you to provide certain demographic information, such as whether you fall into a certain age range. This information on its own cannot identify you.  If we combine it with information that can identify you, we will treat it as Personal Information.

Automatically Collected Information: When you interact with us through the TIMEX Sites, we use various technologies, such as cookies and web beacons or gifs to passively collect information from you. This information includes the browser or operating system you use to access the Internet, your IP address, and the date and time you may have viewed certain pages on the TIMEX Sites. If you access the TIMEX Sites from a mobile device, we may also collect information about the type of mobile device you use, your device's unique ID, the type of mobile Internet browsers you use, and we may also request access to your settings information for similar purposes. We also collect information about your usage of and activity on the TIMEX Sites. By visiting and using the TIMEX Sites, you are consenting to the collection of IP addresses, device identifiers and this other information.  We may collect and store this information, or this information may be collected by and included in databases owned and maintained by our agents or service providers. If any of this information on its own is not considered Personal Information and we combine it with Personal Information, we will treat the combination like Personal Information.

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website. Among other things, we may use cookies to see which features of the TIMEX Sites are popular or to help us improve the TIMEX Sites and your experience. We use cookies, for example, to preserve the contents of your virtual shopping cart between visits. We also use cookies to measure activity on the website and determine which areas and features of the website are the most popular. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie and how to disable existing cookies. Without cookies, however, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features. For example, if you turn off cookies or refuse them, you will not be able to make purchases on the website.

Web beacons, or gifs, are electronic images that may be used on our TIMEX Sites or in our emails. These technologies help us provide additional functionality on the TIMEX Sites, analyze how visitors and users use the TIMEX Sites, and measure traffic.

On most browser toolbars, you will find a help section on the toolbar.  Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. 

Please note that if you reject or turn cookies off you may be unable to access certain parts of the TIMEX Sites and you may not be able to benefit from the TIMEX Sites’ full functionality.

Similarly, if you prefer that we not track how you engage with the emails we send to you, some email services may allow you to disable tracking. You may also unsubscribe from our marketing emails as described below. While we give you the choices described in this Privacy Policy, there are many ways web browser signals and other similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and we may not be aware of or honor every mechanism.

Do Not Track Signals: The TIMEX Sites do not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy whether or not a DNT signal is received. If we respond to such signals in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Use of Your Personal Information:

We use Personal Information to allow you to make purchases and to fulfill your orders.  We may also use your Personal Information to contact you in response to your comments and questions.   

Further, we may use Personal Information and Automatically Collected Information in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the TIMEX Sites, including to analyze and report upon visits to and usage of the TIMEX Sites, to diagnose and prevent service or technology problems affecting the TIMEX Sites, and to monitor and prevent fraud and abuse. We also conduct research on user demographics, interests and behaviors based on the Personal Information and Automatically Collected Information. This information may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregated information with our agents and business partners. This aggregated information does not identify you personally. We also may disclose this aggregated user data in order to describe the TIMEX Sites to current and prospective business partners, or other third parties for other lawful purposes.

We may share any information we receive with vendors, independent contractors, consultants, and service providers retained in connection with the provision of the TIMEX Sites and the operation of our business.

We are headquartered in the United States and your personal information may be collected, used and stored in the United States. United States privacy laws may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country.  If you provide Personal Information to us through the TIMEX Sites and are located outside of the United States, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information from your current location to our offices and servers in the United States (including those of select third parties), and the processing and storage of it by us or by such third parties in the United States.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the TIMEX Sites. The TIMEX Sites may contain links to other websites or services not operated or controlled by us. The policies, practices, and procedures described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to third-party websites or services. Any links from the TIMEX Sites to third-party websites or services do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed those sites or services. We suggest that you contact those sites or services directly for information on their data practices and privacy policies.

Security:

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no database or Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from the TIMEX Sites may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us when disclosing any Personal Information to us.
