9. Contact Information. To ask questions or comment about this Privacy Policy and our privacy practices, or to register a complaint or concern, please contact us at: info@amongbar.com.
Effective Date: December 4, 2024.
This Privacy Policy describes the types of information Among Bar (the “Company” or “we”) collects from you or that you may provide when you visit or use our website https://amongbar.com (“Site”), our pages, and our emails, and when you purchase products from our website (collectively, our “Services”), as well as our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
Among reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as it sees fit and your continued use of the Site will signify your acceptance of any adjustment to this Privacy Policy. If there are any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will announce that these changes have been made on our home page and on other key pages on our Site. If there are any changes in how we use our customers’ Personal Information, notification by e-mail will be made to those affected by this change. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be posted on our Site 30 days prior to these changes taking place. You are therefore advised to re-read this Privacy Policy on a regular basis.
Information You Provide to Us
We collect information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through your use of our Site. Upon request, we will provide you with information as to whether and what Personal Information we store in relation to you. Should your Personal Information be incorrect, you may request to have it rectified. You may also revoke your consent to use your Personal Information in the future, in whole or in part, or request deletion of your Personal Information.

Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose. Non-Personal Information will be retained only for so long as to fulfill a legitimate business need.
We may aggregate Personal Information so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our customers who live in a particular area (“Aggregate Information”). In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual.
We do not collect any types of Sensitive Data from our users. Types of Sensitive Data includes any personally identifiable information pertaining to: race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, medical or health records, trade union memberships, genetic or biometric data, and sex life or sexual orientation.

We may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixels, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Site. We use these tools to help us improve our Site, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.

We may share your information, including Personal Information, as follows:
Service Providers. We will not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to others. However, we do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements made with affiliates, service providers, partners and other third parties ("Service Providers"). Currently our Service Providers include our payment processors, email service providers (such as MailChimp or Send Grid), and advertising partners.

We and our Service Partners may need to use some Personal Information in order to perform tasks between our Sites or to deliver services to you.
We may also share information in the following circumstances:

We may also disclose information about you that is not personally identifiable. For example, we may provide merchants, business partners, or other third parties with reports that contain aggregated and statistical data about our users.
CAN-SPAM Act and Opting Out of Emails:
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to:
· Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
· We may also send you additional information related to our Services or your purchase.
· Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after an account has been created.
To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM we agree to the following:
· NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses
· Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way
· Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters
· Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance.
· Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly
· Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email
We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions directly on our Site. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. Even if you opt-out, we may still communicate with you about your account or any purchase you make from us.
Cookies: [MOU1]
Among uses cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site. We may combine this information with other Personal Information we collect from you. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site, while others allow us to track your activities on our Site. Currently we use Shopify’s default cookies along with other 3rd party cookies.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES AND HOW DO WE USE THEM?
a) Essential: These are cookies which are essential for the running of our Site. Without these cookies, parts of our Site would not function. These cookies do not track where you have been on the internet and do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.
Examples of how we may use essential Cookies include:
· Setting unique identifiers for each unique visitor, so that user numbers can be analyzed.
b) Functional: These cookies are used to remember your preferences and login information on our Site and to provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these cookies is usually anonymized, so we cannot identify you personally. Functional cookies do not track your internet usage or gather information which could be used for selling advertising.
Examples of how we may use functional Cookies include:
· Gathering data about visits to our Site, including numbers of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the Site, or where visitors have come from.
c) Analytical Performance: Analytical performance cookies are used to monitor the performance of our Site, for example, to determine the number of page views and the number of unique users our Site has. We use this information to improve user experience or identify areas of the Site which may require maintenance. The information is anonymous (i.e. it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address) and it is only used for statistical purposes.
Examples of how we may use analytical cookies include:
· Measuring users’ behavior
· Analyze which pages are viewed and how long for and which links are followed to better develop our Site.
d) Third Party Cookies: You may notice on some pages of our Site that cookies have been set that are not related to us. When you visit a page with content embedded from these third-party service providers may set their own cookies on your mobile device. We do not control the use of these third-party cookies and cannot access them due to the way that cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. Please check the third-party websites or mobile applications for more information about these cookies.
e) Disabling Cookies: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete cookies, some of the functionality of our Site may no longer be available to you. Without this information, we are not able to provide you with all the requested services, and any differences in services are related to your information.
· Some browsers transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites. Because of differences in how browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
f) Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies: Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site and Services to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Payment:
If you choose to make a purchase, all payments will be processed through Paypal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Shopify’s Shop Pay. If you provide us with your financial or any other Personal Information, the information is encrypted using industry standard protections. Please refer to Paypal’s Privacy Policy at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full, Apple Pay at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-pay/, Google Pay at https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/u/0/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=privacynotice&ldl=en-GB or Shop Pay’s privacy policy at https://shop.app/terms-of-service, for information regarding their own security protections and use of your Personal Information. Payment information is never stored on our website.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.
Other Websites:
Our Site may contain links to other websites not maintained by Among. Other websites may also reference or link to our Site. The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with our Site, or for the privacy practices of third-party Internet advertising companies. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site, or surf the Internet, and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that you visit.
Information Security:
To protect your Personal Information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard SSL/TLS end-to-end encryption of data in transit to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your financial or any other Personal Information, the information is encrypted using industry standard protections in our database. No payment information is ever stored in our database, as it is solely processed through third parties and is only temporarily stored during the processing of payment. All other information is retained as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to process orders, provide customer service, and comply with legal obligations. We will store data for a minimum of 5 years in compliance with business, accounting, and tax regulations. You may request the deletion of their data at any time, subject to legal requirements.
Although we have implemented commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
Privacy of Minors:
We do not intentionally collect or maintain information from persons under the age of 13. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her Personal Information without the parent/guardian’s consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records. We also recommend that parents monitor their children’s Internet activities and learn and employ software or other tools that can help their children enjoy their online experience without compromising their personal safety or allowing them to use the Internet in a manner inconsistent with their parent/guardian’s preferences.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER FOR RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, SWITZERLAND OR THE UNITED KINGDOM:
WE WILL UPDATE THIS ONCE THE GDPR POLICIES ARE FINALIZED
EU data protection law through GDPR or the UK GDPR and UK Data Protection Act makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Information for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organizations that process Personal Information on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Information is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant data controller since they are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Information.
§ Legal Grounds for Processing your Personal Information
The GDPR requires us to tell you about the legal ground we're relying upon to process any Personal Information about you. The legal basis for us processing your Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy will typically be because:
● you provided your consent;
● it is necessary for our contractual relationship;
● the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations; and/or
● the processing is in our legitimate interest as an event organizing and content providing platform (for example, to protect the security and integrity of our systems and to provide you with customer service, etc.).
§ Among as a Data Controller
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Information for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organizations that process Personal Information on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Information is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant data controller since they are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Information.
Among will act as a data controller concerning Personal Information. For example, if you create an account with us, make a purchase or access the message boards or forums, Among will be a data controller for the Personal Information you provide as part of your account.
We will also be a data controller of the Personal Information we may obtain through the use of the Services. We use this to conduct research and analysis to help better understand and serve users of the Services as well as to improve our Services.
o Transfers of Personal Information
Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note we transfer the data, including Personal Information, to the United States and process it here. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. When we transfer your information to the U.S., we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy. By visiting the Site, using our Services or providing Among with any information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services or for other important purposes such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Among may retain non-Personal Information for as long as necessary for the purposes and uses described in this Privacy Policy, including as necessary for Among to pursue legitimate and lawful business interests.
Data Access and Data Deletion
Data protection law provides you with rights regarding Personal Information that we hold about you, including the right to request a copy of the Personal Information, request that we rectify, restrict or delete your Personal Information, and unsubscribe from marketing communications.
There may be circumstances where we are not legally required to comply with your request because of the laws in your jurisdiction or because of exemptions provided for in data protection legislation. If you have a complaint about how we handle your Personal Information, please get in touch with us as at info@amongbar.com to receive further clarification. If you are not happy with how we have attempted to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant data protection authority.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our App, Site or the Services; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features in an effort to prevent loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
Among is a United States company and does not sell or ship products outside of the United States. However, if you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, Among transfers and stores Personal Information to the United States for processing. The U.S. may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to the U.S., we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy. By visiting the Site or providing Among with any information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features in an effort to prevent loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information:
You can review and change your personal information by logging into our Services and visiting your account profile page. You may also send us an email at info@among.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
“Do Not Track” Disclosure:
Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. At this time, we do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “do not track” signals.
California Privacy Rights:
This Privacy Policy for California Residents supplements the information contained in our general Privacy Policy and applies solely to California residents (“Consumers”).
1. Consumer Rights. This section describes certain rights of Consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). For information on how Consumers may contact us to exercise these rights, please see “How to Submit a Request” below.
