Global Sourcing Connection

Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website and reviewing our privacy policy. This policy describes the information we may collect, how we use it, and the precautions we take to protect your privacy.

Effective date: October 14, 2019

Information collected and how it is used

What we collect if you only browse our website

If you only browse, read pages, or download information during your visit, we gather limited information that does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following:

The Internet Protocol (IP) address and domain name used. The IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to your internet service or directly to your computer, used to direct internet traffic to you.
The type of browser and operating system you used.
The date and time you visited this site.
The web pages or services you accessed at this site.
The website you visited prior to coming to this site.

This information is used solely to improve the content of our web services and to help us understand how people use our services so we can continually improve the performance, suitability, and usefulness of our websites.

What we collect if you volunteer information

If you participate in a survey, send an email, or complete an online transaction, we also collect:

Email address and email contents for those who communicate with us via email.
Information volunteered in response to a survey or by participating in a contest or promotion.
Information volunteered during registration on one of our websites.
Information submitted through an online form — including requests for samples, newsletter subscriptions, credit applications, or online orders.

We will use your email to respond appropriately — to address issues you identify, improve our website, and as an added service, to pre-populate order forms to save you time during ordering and re-ordering.

External use of volunteered information

There are instances where we share your volunteered information with third parties. Like many internet and catalog retailers, we employ other companies and individuals to perform specific functions on our behalf — such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, processing credit cards, conducting research, or performing credit checks. These providers have access only to the information they require and are strictly forbidden from using it for any other purpose.

You may opt out of this use of your information at any time, though doing so may impair our ability to provide proper service and process your orders. We may also share your name and mailing address with carefully screened third parties for marketing purposes. We never share your email address, phone number, credit card, or financial information for these purposes.

Personal information and choice

You may always choose whether to provide personal information to us online. Personal information is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that individual — such as name, address, and phone number. A domain name or IP address is not considered personal information.

We will collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it. You may choose not to contact us by email, participate in surveys, or provide any personal information via an online form. Alternative methods of contacting us in person, by phone, or by mail are available in the Contact Information section below. Choosing not to participate online will not impair your ability to browse our website or download information from it.

In the event we are required to respond to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, your personal information may be disclosed pursuant to such legal process, which may be without notice to you.

Transaction information

If you order products or subscribe to services on our site, we will ask you to complete an order form requiring certain information — including payment information such as a credit card number and expiration date, as well as general contact, billing, and shipping information. We use this information to complete your transaction, deliver what you ordered, and collect payment. For your protection, all such information is collected and stored through encrypted means.

Review and correction of personally identifiable information

You can review any personally identifiable information we collect about you by using the contact information at the end of this policy. You may recommend changes to information you believe to be inaccurate by submitting an email or written request that credibly shows the inaccuracy. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

If your personal information changes, you may correct, update, or remove it by making changes to your profile or by sending an opt-out message. Our goal is to keep your information current so we can better serve you.

Cookies

To serve our online users, we use cookies to customize your browsing experience. Cookies are small data files transferred to your computer by your web browser. Cookies created by using this website do not contain personally identifying information and do not compromise your privacy or security — unless you have registered on our website and volunteered personal information without logging out or disabling cookies during your visit.

We use the cookie feature only to store a randomly generated identifying tag on your computer. You may disable cookies in your browser at any time. Please note that certain features of our website may not work as expected once cookies are disabled. The use of cookies is entirely in your control.

Security

We have taken many steps to safeguard the integrity of our website and prevent unauthorized access to information maintained by us. These measures are designed to prevent data corruption and block unauthorized access to our systems. Sensitive information such as credit card data is transferred using encryption software — including Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which establishes secure session links between your browser and our website. Only employees and agents who need access to your information to carry out business functions are allowed access. Our security policies are reviewed periodically and revised as required.

However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

You can also take steps to protect your information: create a strong password and do not share it; do not leave your computer unattended before logging out; and properly exit your browser as you move between websites.

A special note for parents

The internet offers many educational opportunities for children; however, parental guidance and supervision is necessary to ensure a safe online experience. Although our site is a general audience site, we do not collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If we receive any information from persons we believe to be minors, that information will be purged from our database in accordance with applicable laws.

Disclaimer

This policy applies only to the Superhuman website. Our website may from time to time provide links to other websites operated by unrelated organizations or businesses. Global Sourcing Connection is not responsible for the content of such sites and shall not be liable for any damages or injury arising from that content. Any links to other sites are provided merely as a convenience. When you link to an unrelated site, you are no longer on a Global Sourcing Connection website and this privacy policy will not apply. You should carefully consult that site's own privacy policy before providing any personal information.

Revision

We may revise the terms and conditions of this privacy policy at any time by updating this page. You should periodically visit this page to review the current policy. The current effective date of this privacy policy is October 14, 2019.

Contact information and enforcement

Enforcement

Global Sourcing Connection uses a self-assessment approach to assure compliance with this privacy policy, and periodically verifies that the policy is accurate, comprehensive, prominently displayed, fully implemented, and accessible. We encourage interested persons to raise any complaints or concerns using the contact information in this section and we will investigate and attempt to resolve any concerns regarding use and disclosure of personal information.

Privacy complaints

Global Sourcing Connection commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. If a complaint or dispute cannot be resolved through our internal process, Global Sourcing Connection has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints to an independent dispute resolution mechanism — The Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Choice of law and venue

This Privacy Policy is governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal laws. All disputes or legal proceedings relating to this Privacy Policy shall be brought and heard exclusively in the federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, USA, or the state courts located in Lake County, Illinois, USA. The purchaser hereby irrevocably consents and submits to personal jurisdiction in such courts for all such disputes or legal proceedings.
