Whenever you visit our online Services, we and our third-party advertisers and service providers(see Section 2.B below for more detail), may use a variety of technologies such as cookies and similar technologies to automatically or passively collect certain information about your online activity.
We may link certain data elements we have collected through automated means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained about you for the purposes described in the Notice at Collection above, and to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an email we sent to you. While you can change your cookies settings in your browser, without cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Website.
C. Information Collected From Third-Party Sources
We collect information about you from ad networks, data companies, data brokers, and other third-party sources with whom you may not have a direct relationship, and that help us provide ads and services that target your interests.

D. Aggregate or Deidentified Information
We may aggregate or deidentify any personal information we collect. We may share the aggregated or de-identified information with our business partners and service providers, and we may use such information for our own purposes. We will maintain and use de-identified information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify that information.
2. Information We Disclose
A. Disclosure of Information by You
We offer you many ways to find, enjoy, and share content, including by filling out surveys, reviewing and rating products or services, inquiring about or purchasing products or services, participation in online communities, “liking” or “sharing” our content to your social media accounts.
Any personal information you disclose on publicly-facing areas of our Services, or to publish on our Website or on other third-party websites (e.g., social media channels) becomes public information. Please exercise caution when disclosing or allowing us to process and/or publish you personal information in these public areas.
B. Disclosure of Information by Us

We disclose the categories of personal information identified in the Notice at Collection above:
- To service providers that provide business, professional or technical support functions for us (including fulfilling and shipping orders), help us operate the Services, or administer activities on our behalf.

In addition, we may aggregate or deidentify personal information and use or disclose the aggregated/de-identified information for marketing, analytics, and other purposes.

3.Interest-Based Advertising Choices
We collect information about your use of the Services through cookies, pixels, log files, or other similar technologies to review or improve the usage and operations of our website, to analyze trends and track user’s movement around the Website, to administer the Website and to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests. We also may obtain information for this last purpose from third-party websites on which our ads are served. You may see our ads on third-party websites or apps because we use third-party ad networks to serve our ads.
The networks use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our ad networks may collect on our behalf includes data about your visits to websites that serve our advertisements, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites (e.g., if you click the ad). This data collection takes place both on our Website and other online Services, and on third-party websites that participate in these ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

6.Children’s Privacy
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. The Services are not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. For the purposes of the GDPR, we do not intend to offer information society services directly to children. If a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information online, we ask that a parent or guardian please contact us, and we will take reasonable steps to delete personal information provided by the child. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16 years of age.
7.Links to Third Party Sites and Services
Our Website and online Services contain links to third party websites (including social networks and related plugins) operated by individuals or companies unrelated to us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third-party websites. We provide links to these websites for your convenience only, and you access them at your own risk. We recommend that you review the privacy policies and terms of use posted on such third-party websites before using them.
Our Website and online Services may also offer you the ability to interact with plugins from social media sites, which may allow us and/or the social media site to receive data from or about you. In some cases, we may know that you clicked on a social plugin, such as a Twitter Follow button, or receive other information from the social media sites. Similarly, if you have previously provided personal information to a third-party operating a plug-in on this Website or another of our online Services, then that third-party may recognize you on our Website or other online Services. Your use of social network plugins is subject to each social media site’s own privacy policy, so please read that site’s policies carefully to understand its practices. As with linked sites, we have no control over and are not responsible for the information that is collected, stored, or used by social network plugins.
8.Retention of Personal Information
We keep personal information as long as reasonably necessary or relevant to achieve the purpose described in this Policy. We also keep personal information as otherwise required by law. What this means in practice will vary between different types of information, and when we consider our approach, we take into account ongoing business or legal needs for the information, for example in relation to tax, health and safety, fraud prevention, for us to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, and potential or actual disputes, litigation, or investigations.

10.3 Additional Information Regarding Transfers of Personal Information
A. Internal transfers: Transfers within the Rhodes 24k LLC will be covered by an internal processing agreement entered into by members of the Rhodes 24k Companies (an intra-group data processing agreement) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred to.
B. External transfers: Where we transfer your personal information outside of EU/EEA (for example to third parties who provide us with services), we will generally obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your personal information. When Rhodes 24k LLC engages in such transfers of personal information, it relies on i) Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), or ii) Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. Rhodes 24k LLC also continually monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers in order to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR.

We may ask you to provide personal information in connection with these promotions, including the following personal information: your first and last name, email address, phone number, birthday and gender.

The disclosure of the value described herein is not intended to waive, nor should be interpreted as a waiver to, our proprietary or business confidential information, including trade secrets, and does not constitute any representation with regard to generally accepted accounting principles or financial accounting standards. We reserve the right to change our financial incentives in the future and the goals thereof.
