Privacy Policy
Protecting your private information is our priority. This Statement of Privacy applies to AlpineBikeWorks.com and Alpine Bike Works, LLC and governs data collection and usage. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to Alpine Bike Works, LLC include AlpineBikeWorks.com and ABW. The ABW website is an e-Commerce site. By using the ABW website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
In order to better provide you with products and services offered, ABW may collect personally identifiable information, such as your:
- First and Last Name
- Mailing Address
- E-mail Address
- Phone Number
We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services. These may include: (a) registering for an account; (b) entering a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from selected third parties; (d) sending us an email message or text message; (e) submitting your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing products and services either online or in-store. To wit, we will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to services and/or products you have requested from us. We also may gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.
Use of your Personal Information
ABW collects and uses your personal information to operate and deliver the services you have requested. These services may include, but are not limited to, providing requested customer service, responding to inquiries and other correspondences, fulfillment of transactions, providing access to digital accounts and dissemination of updated administrative policies.
ABW may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from ABW and its affiliates. Examples of such include, but are not limited to, communication of product updates and sales, upcoming events, newsletters, sweepstakes and other promotions. Collectively, such communications allow us to better serve our business purposes.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
ABW does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.
ABW may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is transferred to the third party. ABW may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to ABW, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
ABW discloses your personal information to Brand Partners as required to offer certain programs. In such instances, relevant personal information is collected during the transaction process between ABW and the purchaser and subsequently delivered to the Brand Partner. In particular, such non-sensitive personal information will be shared with Giant Bicycle, Inc and all associated requests for removal shall be processed through said manufacturer, rather than ABW.
ABW may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ABW or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ABW; and/or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of ABW, or the public.
