Collection of Personal Information from Children
We do not intend to or knowingly collect any Personal Information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are aware that someone under the age of 16 has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at customerservice@abcstores.com.

How We Use and Share the Information We Collect
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We use the information that we collect from you to provide you with the products, services and information that you request. If you sign up for our marketing emails, we will use the information to provide you with marketing materials. We use your information to create and maintain your account, audit, monitor and process your transactions; market to you; protect the security and integrity of our Website and services; conduct analyses and market research to improve our services; fulfill our legal and contractual obligations to you and others; enroll you in promotional discounts; protect against fraudulent and other illegal activity; and in other ways.

We do not, and will not, sell or lease your information to third parties.

We will only share your information, including your Personal Information, with third parties in the following situations:

Third Party Service Providers
We employ others to perform functions on our behalf, such as to fulfill your orders, process your payments, deliver your packages, send you marketing emails and catalogs that you request, provide you with customer service, and analyze data to enhance our services and our Website. These third party service providers are permitted to access the Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but are not permitted to disclose or use the information for any other purpose. We only share your Personal Information with third party service providers who we trust, and who are contractually obligated to use industry-accepted security measures to protect and secure the Personal Information we share with them.

Protection of the Website and Others
We will release account information, including Personal Information, when we form a good faith belief that such release is necessary and appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; to protect us and our Website; or to protect the rights, property or safety of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations to you and others, or for other legitimate business needs.

How We Secure Your Information
We do our best to keep your Personal Information safe by maintaining current industry standards for data security including, for example, the use of updated security software and protocols. We use safety protocols for communication and transferring data (such as HTTPS and SSL). We use anonymizing and pseudonymizing where suitable. We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.

We also keep your Personal Information safe by ensuring that the third party service providers who may be allowed access to your Personal Information are contractually committed to adhere to equivalent security standards.

Unfortunately, even the best security practices do not guarantee complete security of information. However, we will notify suitable authorities of any data breach as appropriate and/or required by applicable laws and regulations. We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and to assist authorities should any breaches occur.

You can help keep your Personal Information safe by selecting strong passwords and unique customer IDs, changing your password often, not sharing your customer IDs and passwords with others, and being careful to fully sign off from our Website whenever using a shared computer.

Your Choices Regarding Our Collection and Use of Your Personal Information
We will not collect your Personal Information without your affirmative consent. And although we do not condition any benefit or service upon your agreeing to provide us with such consent, some of the information and services we provide, for example online shopping or subscribing to our catalogs and marketing materials, cannot function unless you share certain Personal Information with us.

You have several options when deciding what Personal Information we collect. One option is not to consent to our collecting your Personal Information. Another is not to volunteer any Personal Information. However, these approaches will prevent you from taking advantage of several of the Website’s most useful features, such as online shopping or requesting for our products catalog.

Another option is to configure your web browser to refuse all new cookies, to notify you whenever you are about to receive a new cookie, or to disable cookies completely. However as explained above, many features of the Website will become unavailable to you if you choose not to allow cookies.

If you have an account with us, you can review and update your Personal Information by logging into your account.

Our Do Not Track Policy
Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. This feature allows you to tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. These features are not yet uniform across web browsers. Our Website is not currently set up to respond to do not track signals.

Your Rights to Find Out What Personal Information We Maintain About You, to Update and Correct that Personal Information, to Obtain a Portable Copy of the Information, and to Request Erasure of Your Personal Information
Depending upon where you live, you may have the right to request that we identify the Personal Information we maintain about you, provide you with a portable copy of the information, ask that we update or correct that Personal Information, and also that we delete your Personal Information.

We make reasonable efforts to honor all such requests whether or not you reside in a jurisdiction that provides you with these privacy rights. Simply make your request by contacting us at customerservice@abcstores.com.

If your Personal Information was used to complete a transaction that you requested, we may need to preserve a record of the transaction, including the Personal Information associated with the transaction. Also, if your Personal Information is needed to complete a transaction you requested but that has not yet been completed, we may not be able to complete the transaction if we delete your Personal Information.

If you’ve subscribed to our marketing emails and you wish to unsubscribe, you can go to the unsubscribe link in the marketing email that you received, and request to be unsubscribed.

If you haven’t provided us with your Personal Information by creating an account, requesting for a products catalog, expressing an interest in employment with us, or subscribing to our marketing materials, then we don’t have any Personal Information about you.
