PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: February 22, 2022
This Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is provided by V Ruff Crew, LLC (“V Ruff Crew,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy describes V Ruff Crew’s practices regarding Personal Information (as defined below) collected via the V Ruff Crew websites that include a link to this Privacy Policy (the “Websites”). Unless specifically stated otherwise, this Privacy Policy applies solely to Personal Information that we gather or collect via such Websites. It does not apply to any information collected offline or otherwise outside of the Websites.
Please take a moment to review the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please also review our Terms of Use, which govern your use of our Websites. Please note that certain features or services discussed in this Privacy Policy may not be offered or available on all of our Websites.
What Personal Information Does V Ruff Crew Collect About Me?
When you visit the Websites, we may collect two types of information from you: (1) Personal Information you voluntarily choose to disclose to us, and (2) Website Usage Information that we automatically collect as you interact with the Websites.
Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us
In most cases, you can visit the Websites without telling us who you are and without providing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may ask you to provide voluntarily information about yourself via the Websites, such as your name and e-mail address (“Personal Information”). For example, when you use the “contact us” mechanisms. You are under no obligation to provide such Personal Information, but if you choose not to, you may be unable to use certain features or services provided by the Websites.
Information We Automatically Collect
When you visit the Websites, we may automatically collect certain information related to your activities on the Websites (“Website Usage Information”). This information may include your browser type, operating system, IP address, the domain from which you came, the page you are viewing, the time, and what you clicked on, among other information. Website Usage Information is typically anonymous information because it is not normally associated with you or your identity. However, if it is combined with your Personal Information in a manner that it is directly associated with your identity, it will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. To collect Website Usage Information, we may utilize a variety of technologies such as cookies, embedded scripts or other, similar technologies.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file placed on a computer when it is used to visit a website. Cookies may be used for many purposes, such as tracking user preferences and web pages visited while using a website. You may disable cookies using your browser’s preferences, but some features of our Websites may not function properly or may operate slowly if you disable the cookies.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Websites, such as which links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server or a third party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Websites, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Notice to Parents
The Websites are general audience websites, and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children as defined by applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided their information to us through our Websites, please contact us as detailed in the “Contact Us; Additional Information” section, so that we can take steps to delete it.
How Does V Ruff Crew Use Personal Information?
We may use Personal Information collected from the Websites for a variety of purposes, including: (1) to provide you with information, products, or services that you have ordered, requested, or agreed to receive (such as fulfilling a catalog request or e-mail newsletter, or processing your online store order transactions); (2) to process your registration with the Websites, including verifying that your e-mail address is active and valid; (3) to improve the Websites or our services, or to customize your experience on the Websites; (4) to communicate with you regarding information, features, products, services, or offers that we believe may be of interest to you; (5) to respond to your questions or other requests; (6) to contact you with regard to the Websites; (7) to process any applications, orders, payments, or changes to your account information; (8) to process Personal Information or other information that you submit through the Websites; (9) to conduct user surveys; (10) to contact you regarding a sweepstakes, contest or promotion in which you have participated, (11) for internal business purposes; and (12) for other purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy, disclosed at the time you provide the Personal Information, or disclosed thereafter.
The Website Usage Information we collect may be used for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to help us understand the demographics of the visitors to the Websites, to enhance the performance and usefulness of the Websites, to report aggregate information to our business partners, or to audit use of the Websites.
With Whom Do We Share the Personal Information?
The Personal Information that we collect on our Websites may be shared in the following cases:
Third Parties Providing Services on Our Behalf. We may share Personal Information with our agents and representatives who perform services on our behalf. This includes third parties that host or operate functions or features of one or more of the Websites, send communications on our behalf (including marketing e-mails), process credit card and other payment transactions, fulfill orders, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, or create, host and/or provide customer service on our behalf. These third parties may have access to Personal Information in order to provide these services to us or on our behalf but are permitted to use such Personal Information only in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Business Transfers and Corporate Changes. We reserve the right to disclose and transfer Personal Information: (1) to a subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of one or more of the Websites; or (2) in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, or restructuring, the sale of substantially all of V Ruff Crew’s stock and/or assets, or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.
Legal Requirements and Law Enforcement. We may also transfer and disclose Personal Information to third parties: (1) in the event we are required to respond to a court order, subpoena, discovery request, or other legal process, or if in our good faith opinion such disclosure is required by law; (2) at the request of governmental authorities conducting an audit or investigation; (3) to verify or enforce compliance with our Terms of Use, other agreements or policies governing the Websites, or applicable laws, rules, and regulations; or (4) whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the Websites, its users or other third parties. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful.
Except as indicated above, V Ruff Crew will not disclose to others any of your Personal Information unless we have your express permission.
V Ruff Crew may, however, share non-personally identifiable information, such as Website Usage Information or other aggregated user statistics, as well as anonymous information derived from Personal Information, such as de-identified user information, with third parties for any purpose.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way.

Links and Advertisements
The Websites may contain advertisements or other links to third-party websites that V Ruff Crew does not own or control. This Privacy Policy applies only to the V Ruff Crew Websites and not to any other platforms or websites operated by third parties. V Ruff Crew is not responsible for the privacy practices employed by any third-party website. Links or advertisements do not constitute or imply any review or endorsement of any non V Ruff Crew Websites. You visit other sites at your own risk. Because other sites may collect, use and distribute your Personal Information in manners different than V Ruff Crew, we recommend that you read the privacy statements of all third party websites before submitting any Personal Information to those websites. They are not within our control.
You may also be able to engage with our Websites through third-party platforms, plug-ins, integrations, or applications or social media services. When you engage with our content on or through third-party platforms or social media services, you may allow us to have access to certain information in your profile and information about your interaction with our content. For a description on how social media services and other third-party platforms, plug-ins, integrations, or applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings.
Third parties may also use cookies or similar technologies on our Services for advertising, retargeting, analytics, and tracking. Please see “More About Analytics and Advertising” and “Your Choices” for more information about third party cookies.
More About Analytics and Advertising
We use third-party analytics providers to help track how you interact with our Websites. Third parties may also use cookies or web pixels for online advertising personalization. Third-party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if those technologies use our Websites to help store or collect data. Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting information used by third-party advertisers and others or the use of the information that such third parties collect. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices, and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage, and sharing practices.
About Our Website Security
We take commercially reasonable steps to help protect and secure the Personal Information we collect. However, no data transmission over the Internet, wireless transmission or electronic storage of information can be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, V Ruff Crew cannot warrant the security of any Personal Information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Please keep in mind that whenever you disclose Personal Information online, that information can be collected and used by others. 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.
Data Retention
We only store information for as long as is needed to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations or any other permissible purpose for which we have collected it, including to prevent fraud or security incidents. When the applicable retention period has expired, we take measures to permanently delete the information, aggregate it, or anonymize it.
