OUR PRIVACY POLICY
At Tipplergoods, we value and respect your right to privacy and to understand how information that relates to you (“personal information”) is being collected and used. This Privacy Policy describes the information Tipplergoods collects, how that information is used, when and why that information is disclosed or sold to third parties, and what your rights are regarding your personal information. We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, under some circumstances a transfer of personal information to a third party without monetary consideration may be considered a “sale” under California law. If you submit a request to stop selling your personal information, we will stop making such transfers.

How We Use Personal Information for Communications
Emails, Newsletters, and Catalogs
We may use the email address you provide to us for a variety of purposes, including:
- To respond to your questions,
- To communicate with you concerning an order or return,
- To notify you of items in your shopping cart, or
- To send you offers or other promotional materials that you have requested.
If you receive promotional materials or newsletters from us, you may unsubscribe from these communications at any time by following the instructions contained in the emails you receive.

Transaction Security
We electronically verify each transaction with the credit company, processing only those orders if the credit company so authorizes it. In the case of a suspicious or declined transaction, our company may contact you to confirm the validity and ensure your identity, or cancel that order with full notification.
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input at 128-bit strength. On most web browsers, a secure connection is symbolized by a small padlock in the address bar, and the address of the window changing from https:// to https://. In the event that an order cannot be completed, please contact our Customer Care Department. If our website cannot establish a secure connection, we will not risk your confidential information (it will not be transmitted).
Cookies
What are cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as the storage of items in your Shopping Cart. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you disable cookies, you will not be able to purchase from the Web site. We recommend that you leave them turned. If you choose to turn off cookies, you must contact tipplergoods.com Customer Service to place your order.
How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use files called “cookies” to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide key features to your shopping experience. Placing cookies on your device allows us to remember items in your shopping cart and allows you to stay logged in as you browse our site.

Interest-Based Advertising and Other Targeted Advertising
We collect data about your activities on our websites and applications for use in providing tailored advertising, and we may share information about activities on our websites with advertising networks administered by third parties. These ad networks track your online activities over time and across websites by collecting information through automated means, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. As a result, you may see certain ads on other websites based on prior activities on our websites and vice versa.
To provide you with a consistent shopping experience, we may also associate various devices you utilize (e.g., smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers) by using the information we collect about you. We may combine information we collect from your devices with other information we have about you, your interaction with our sites, apps and services, and your transaction history.
The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) has created guidance for online advertisers and provided a mechanism for such advertisers to comply with users' choices regarding internet-based ads. To learn more about ad networks, including how to opt-out of interest-based ads, click here.
Do Not Track Information
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. This feature can be found in your browser’s privacy settings.. Enabling/disabling the Do Not Track feature in your browser does not ensure that all websites you visit will respond to the request. Tipplergoods.com does not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. Third-party advertisers on tipplergoods.com may or may not respond to these requests.
