We may also collect information about your computer, its software, your internet service provider, the date and time of your visit, and websites you visit prior to visiting TeeGravy.com. We may ask you for information at other times, such as when you report a problem with our site or services, or contact TeeGravy by e-mail.

What are cookies and how does TeeGravy use them?
We collect other information about you and your use of our services through the use of various technologies to help manage our websites, to save our customers time, and to understand more about the way our customers interact with us. These technologies include cookies, clear GIFs and log files. Because the operation of these technologies is not visible to users, we believe in being open and upfront about the way we use these technologies and their purposes.
- Internet Cookies. A “cookie” is a term for alphanumeric identifiers that a Web server transfers to your computer via your Web browser. When your Internet browser visits a Web page, a cookie is set with a unique, anonymous number. This number is recorded in a small text file that is transmitted to your computer and stored in the cookie directory of your hard drive. Then, when you visit each Web page on which the cookie technology is enabled, TeeGravy.com can recognize your browser as a unique, anonymous user. Some common purposes of cookies are to enhance the usability of our website, to ensure that your browser does not see the same ad or message over and over again, and to measure the number of unique visitors that have viewed a particular ad or visited a particular Web page. Cookies are also used for ad reporting functions such as to learn which ads are bringing users to our website. This can help us tailor our ads and enhance our websites for your needs. Unless you consent, we do not collect personally identifiable information from you through the use of cookies.
- Clear GIFS. We also employ a software technology called a clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), also known as a pixel tag or Web beacon. A clear GIF is a line of code that we place on our Websites or in e-mails which allows us to analyze our advertising and the general usage patterns of visitors to our websites. These help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content or promotions are effective. Unless you consent, we do not collect personally identifiable information from you through the use of clear GIFS.
- Log Files. Like most standard website servers, we use log files. Log files track Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We utilize this information to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent fraud, track website navigation in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
How does TeeGravy use the information?
Our main goal in collecting information is to improve TeeGravy.com and provide you with the best possible experience on the site. For example, by using the information we collect, we can create products you order, process and ship items to you, and provide customer support. Also, if TeeGravy selects a design you submitted, we will use your information to process payments to you and, if necessary, to contact you regarding your design. We may also use your personal information to notify you of other products or services available from TeeGravy and our affiliates.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, only TeeGravy, its affiliates, and its service providers will have access to personal information you provide to us. We also may do research on our users’ demographics and behavior based on the information you provide, information from your activity on the site, information from our server log files, or from surveys. We may compile, analyze or sell this information on an aggregated basis, which does not include information identifying individual users. We also may share this data with business partners or other third parties.
Who is collecting information?
When you are on TeeGravy.com and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with TeeGravy, its affiliates, and its service providers. If personal data is to be collected or maintained by any company other than TeeGravy or its affiliates, we will try to notify you on TeeGravy.com or in an updated version of this Privacy Policy. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.
Other websites to which we link may collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit those sites. This Privacy Policy doe not cover the information practices of other websites linked to TeeGravy.com.
With whom does TeeGravy share my information?
We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. These are some of the ways that your information may be disclosed:
Data in the Aggregate: We may disclose “blinded” aggregated data, which is data that does not identify an individual person, and user statistics to prospective partners and other third parties.
Other: We also may disclose your information in special cases. For example, when we believe that we must disclose information to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use or the Submission Terms & Conditions, or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other TeeGravy.com users or customers, or anyone else that may be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access your information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, delivering or mailing, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail, providing investor information and processing data. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they will be contractually prohibited from using that information for any other reason.
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of TeeGravy’s businesses, customer and TeeGravy.com visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.
How does TeeGravy protect financial-related information?
Keeping your personal financial information private is very important to us. As a matter of policy, we do not sell information provided by our users. Any user statistics that we may provide to prospective partners regarding financial matters are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user. In order to process online payments, we may transfer your payment information, such as your debit or credit card number, bank account number, or other personal information to the appropriate merchant processor or bank.
What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of my information?
We use encryption technology for debit or credit card numbers, bank account numbers, passwords and registration information. Remember to sign out of your payment account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your information by using your computer when you are away from it. Because information sent through the Internet travels from computer to computer throughout the world, when you give us information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Except as specifically stated, this site does not use security encryption measures. Information that you disclose by use of this site (as with any site that is non-secure), by posting a message or using e mail, potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
Can I opt-out of communications from TeeGravy?
Our website provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the point where we request information about you. Where indicated just click on “I choose not to receive future communications” when completing a survey or other form. Please allow a reasonable period of time for your changes to take effect.
To ensure that you will not receive recurring marketing information from us unless you choose to, we will provide you with simple instructions on each marketing email from TeeGravy for you to let us know that you have chosen to stop receiving such emails from us.
Does TeeGravy have any special privacy provisions for children?
TeeGravy.com is intended only for use by adults. We do not knowingly collect information about minors, including children under the age of 13. If you are the parent or guardian of such a child and you believe he or she has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can ensure the information is deleted.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose information online, that information is accessible to other customers and users. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
When you or we end your customer relationship with us, we will treat the information we have about you as if you were still our customer.
