HushPuppies.com
(Hush Puppies) values the privacy of our website visitors. We do not sell or
share individually identifiable information to any third party outside Wolverine
World Wide, Inc. You will only receive communication from the branded Web site
you purchased or requested information from.
Information collected on this
website will be used according to the following
guidelines:
1. Hush Puppies collects individually
identifiable information, and other information that can be associated with an
identifier. This information is collected to provide information and services to
website users, and to allow Hush Puppies to (i) analyze and monitor consumer and
customer activity; (ii) promote and support Wolverine products; and (iii)
develop a knowledge base regarding its Web site users and customers. Do not
submit information that you do not want Wolverine to access.
2. As is
commonly done on retail websites, Hush Puppies may use "cookies" or similar
technology to keep track of its customers and the goods or services they are
ordering. For example, we use cookies to keep track of items that you might wish
to store in your Shopping Cart between visits. If you do not wish to accept
cookies, the "help" selection on your browser's toolbar will likely tell you how
to prevent your browser from accepting cookies, how to have the browser alert
you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you
disable cookies, however, you will not be able to take advantage of all of the
features on this Web site; therefore we recommend that you leave them turned
on.
3. We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our
behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single
pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information
that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely
anonymous.
4. When we ask for your personal information, it is so that we
can provide a product or service to you and to communicate with you about those
products and services. This may require us to share information with our
business partners. For example, if you purchase goods through this website, like
any other retailer we will have to provide your credit card information to our
credit card processor and authenticator for payment purposes, and your name and
address to the company that ships our merchandise.
5. When we ask for
your personal information, we also give you an option to opt out of additional
uses of your personal information for marketing purposes. For example, we may
from time to time send you an e-mail message informing you of on-line sales that
you may be interested in hearing about. If you do not wish to receive such
messages, please click on the appropriate box when providing your personal
information. We do not sell or share identifiable information to any third party
outside Wolverine World Wide, Inc. You will only receive communication from the
branded Web site you purchased or requested information from.
6. Hush
Puppies may be required to disclose personal information without prior notice in
response to law enforcement activity or other governmental request, to enforce
its contract or property rights, or when otherwise required by law. Information
we collect may also be transferred in connection with any sale or merger of the
company or any division or business line of the company to which the information
relates.
7. To improve the products and services offered, Hush Puppies
may share data collected on Wolverine websites with business partners such as
designers, manufacturers and distributors and may furnish data to parties that
provide support services for Hush Puppies websites. Hush Puppies will share data
with business partners and service providers for these purposes only upon terms
that prohibit them from making any independent commercial use of individually
identifiable information and that prohibit them from sharing the data with third
parties or otherwise making it publicly available.
8. Hush Puppies
intends to use commercially reasonable means to protect the integrity of its
websites and the confidentiality of collected data. Hush Puppies cannot provide
absolute assurances against, and will not be liable for, any breaches of
confidentiality due to system failures or unauthorized access by third
parties.
