Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy aims to give you information regarding how Brandetics collects and uses your personal data through your use of our website.
​
Personal data is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. It is important that you read this Privacy Policy so that you are fully aware of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your personal data. This Privacy Policy applies to all websites owned and operated by etailz, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”); it does not apply to the practices of companies Brandetics does not own or control.
​
When you visit our website, you have choices about whether to provide us with information and how we use that information. You may choose not to provide us with information, but your choice(s) may prevent you from contacting Brandetics directly or limit your use of certain features. For example, if you do not provide us with an email address we cannot respond to your inquiry.
​
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our services, our companies, or advances in technology. We will alert you to this change by placing a notice on our website or sending an email. Our use of the information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used.
​

-
We need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, such as when we process a payment

We have your consent to do so. We do not generally rely on consent as a lawful basis for processing your personal data, but you have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device, which can help support our research and marketing efforts. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our use of such aggregated or de-identified information.
