10 Disclosing your data

Complex may disclose data about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

Within Complex. We disclose your data within Complex’s legal entities where necessary to fulfill a contract or precontractual measures, or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so or a legal obligation to do so. Complex’s legal entities are listed in our “Complex Legal Entities” section;
With vendors, consultants, and other service providers who process your data on our behalf when they provide services to us, for example data analytics, research, marketing and financial services;
With third-party service providers to help us process and fulfil your purchases and use of our products and Services, for example:
We use Stripe to help us process payments through our Services—you can read more about how Stripe uses data here: https://stripe.com/privacy;
we use Shopify to power our online store--you can read more about how Shopify uses data here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy;
we also use Violet to power our online store – you can read more about how Violet uses data here: https://violet.io/privacy-policy;
and we also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site--you can read more about how Google uses data here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

With Advertising Partners to customize your experience and better tailor the services, products, marketing and advertising on our Services and on their Third Party Sites. Our Advertising Partners are companies that provide services that help us provide advertising to you. These companies may use their own tracking technologies to collect or request information about you. For more information, please see our “Cookie Policy” section.
In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company;
We may be legally required to disclose your data without your consent in some circumstances, for example to comply with a court order or law enforcement. In such circumstances, we will only disclose your data if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is required under applicable legal obligations.

Please note that we will not sell or share your mobile phone number or your message consent preferences with third parties for their promotional or marketing purposes except where you explicitly consent to such disclosure.

Other Disclosures

We may also disclose aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you (we do not attempt to re-identify de-identified information, except as permitted or required by law). For example, we may disclose aggregated or de-identified information with our ad partners and service providers so that we, and they, can understand how people use our Services; this helps us grow our business and improve and develop our products and services.

We may also disclose information about you along with a hashed version of your email address with our Advertising Partners so that they and we can facilitate customized ad campaigns and other offers on the Services and on other platforms. “Hashing” transforms your email into an unrecognizable series of numbers and letters (e.g. a “hashed” version of jane@email.com would be k5f7g23@email.com).

11. Legal Bases for Processing Your Data

The laws in some jurisdictions require companies to tell you about the legal grounds they rely on to use or disclose your “personal data” as such term is defined under applicable law. To the extent that those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:

To honor our contractual commitments to you: Much of our processing of personal data is to meet our contractual obligations to our customers, or to take steps at customers’ requests in anticipation of entering into a contract with them. For example, we handle personal data on this basis to process and fulfill your orders.
Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we handle personal data on the basis of your implied or express consent.
Legitimate interests: In many cases, we handle personal data on the ground that it furthers our legitimate interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals, such as to fulfill customer service requests, market our services to you, protect our users, personnel and property, and analyze and improve the Services.
Legal compliance: We use and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

12. International transfer of your personal data

12.1 When we process your data within Complex, we will do so in countries in which we have offices (United States).
12.2 Third parties with whom we disclose your data may be based outside the EEA or other international jurisdictions and their processing of your data may involve a transfer of data outside of those jurisdictions. For more information, please refer to the privacy policy links for such third parties in our consent management platform.
12.3 Where required, our agreements with those third parties include appropriate mechanisms to transfer your data, such as approved standard contractual clauses, and otherwise make clear the standards we expect of them in order to safeguard your information and your legal rights.

13. Retaining and securing your data

13.1 We generally keep your data for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was collected. In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. Please note, data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
13.2 When we decide how long we will keep your information we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, why we need it, and any relevant legal requirements (such as legal retention and destruction periods).
13.3 We may anonymize your data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes.
13.4 We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

13. Social Media Platforms and Other Third-Party Sites

13.1 Our sites and apps may include links to third-party sites, apps and social media platforms (“Third-Party Sites”). Clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or disclose data about you. We do not endorse or control Third-Party Sites, each of which are governed by its own terms of service and privacy policy. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and terms so that you understand how they process information about you. We are not responsible for any damages or other harms that may arise when you leave Complex and interact with Third-Party Sites. Please take all protections necessary to protect yourself when accessing Third-Party Sites, particularly when downloading content or making purchases.
13.2 The Services may offer social features and other integrated tools, which let you publish actions you take on our Services with your friends or the public on social media platforms. We also use the analytics tools provided by the social media platforms to help us to understand how people interact with our social media presence, to identify trends and to carry out joint promotional activities with those platforms. For example, sometimes we agree with a social media platform that we will jointly promote certain content.
13.3 We receive aggregated statistical information from social media platforms about the performance of our posts and promoted content, such as numbers of views and kinds of viewers. This data is aggregated and anonymized by the social media platform before it is given to us.
13.4 We also use the paid advertising and paid content tools provided by the social media platforms to help us carry out advertising campaigns for our advertisers and to promote our content on the social media platforms. For example, we use the “Promoted Pins” tool on Pinterest to promote editorial or paid content to visitors to Pinterest. Again, we only receive aggregated statistical information from the social media platforms. This is information about interactions with our ads and paid content, such as number of views, number of times shared and so on.
13.5 We process information provided to us by the social media platforms on the basis of our legitimate interest in interacting with our audience on social media and using social media to promote our content.

14. Cookie policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data text files that are used to identify your computer or device online. When you visit a website, a cookie is created and stored on your hard drive so that that website can recognize you while you are on that website. Some cookies are “session-based,” which means they disappear once you leave the website. Others are “persistent,” which means they are stored on your device until you delete them and they allow a website to recognize you each time you visit the website. Cookies are just one technology used to collect information online. A “web beacon,” also known as a tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is also used to transmit information back to a web server. When you interact with our mobile apps we may use SDKs, which act like cookies, or we may use other identifiers to help us identify your device. When we talk about “Cookies” in this Privacy Policy, we mean not just cookies, but web beacons, SDKs and similar technologies.

What Types of Cookies are on the Services?

First Party Cookies. Our Services use our own cookies to recognize you and remember you as a unique user.
Session Cookies remember you during your session on our Services. They are deleted when you log out of the Services and when you close your web browser. We use session Cookies to ensure content is displayed correctly on the Services, to balance and monitor load on our servers, and for other technical matters essential to the operation of our Services. You can configure your device to reject these cookies, but our Services will probably not work correctly, or at all, if you do.
Consent cookies are used by our consent management platform we employ to record your preferences about third party cookies described below, and to store and disclose your preference with those third parties. These cookies are essential for compliance with the legal obligations imposed on us and on third parties with whom we have a business relationship to ensure we request your consent, record your consent preferences, and act on such consent preferences.
Analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are used by us and by third parties who process data for us for data analytics purposes (for example Google Analytics) so that we can manage and improve the performance and design of our Services and for monitoring, auditing, research and reporting. We have activated Google’s IP anonymization function on our Sites. This will cause your IP address to be cut by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Sites, to compile reports on Site activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. With respect to Google Analytics, you can read about how Google uses data gathered for that purpose here.
Third party cookies: advertising and affiliate links. Our Advertising Partners and our affiliate links partners collect data from you for the purposes they disclose through our cookie consent management platform.
Advertising Partners include ad networks such as third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms.** **
Affiliate links partners pay us when you buy things from them or another third party after clicking on an affiliate link in our content.
Our Advertising Partners use third party cookies to serve ads to you and to target you with tailored (or personalized) ads when you are using the Services and when you visit Third-Party Sites. They also use cookies to measure traffic on the Services (for example to track ad views).
We and our Advertising Partners may also use cookies to associate you with a phone number that you have previously provided. If you have opted in to receiving promotional text messages from us, we may send you advertisements and reminders about items that you have added to your shopping cart but have not purchased.
Advertising Partners and affiliate links partners may view, edit or set their own cookies on your mobile device or web browser when you interact with our Services. They use cookies to track your use of our Services and your activities elsewhere online. We provide links to their privacy policies in our consent management platform, which you can access by clicking here.

What Information do Cookies Collect?

Cookies and similar technologies allow us to collect the following types of data: a unique ID assigned to your device; IP address; device and browser type; operating system; referring URLs; content viewed or other actions taken through our Services; time and date of those actions; country and language selected.

What Choices Do you Have?

Browsers and devices have tools that allow you to disable Cookies. If you disable Cookies you may not be able to access all the features of our services. We suggest that you keep our essential cookies active for a better user experience and to help us keep improving and developing our products and services. You can decide who you will allow to set third party cookies on your browser or device by going to our consent preferences center or clicking the 'Cookies' link on the footer of our site.

Deletion. In some limited circumstances, you have the right to have personal data that we hold about you erased (the “right to be forgotten”). This right is not generally available where we still have a valid legal reason to keep the data (for example, because we are obliged to do so by law).
Objection. You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on “legitimate interests” as our legal basis for processing, but we may be able to continue processing if our interest outweighs your objection.
Withdrawing consent. If we are processing your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, in which case we will stop that processing unless we have another legal basis on which to continue.

In order to protect your privacy and that of others, we will ask you to prove your identity before we take any steps in response to a request you have made.

15.1 “Sharing” and “Selling” Personal Data

If you are a California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah or Virginia resident, you may opt out of certain processing of your personal information, including for targeted advertising, under applicable law.

We work with third-party partners to help us better advertise our Services and help us provide our Services for free and provide content that is more relevant to you on our Services and other third-party sites and apps. These partners collect personal information via cookies and similar technologies placed on our Services that allow them to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and analyze your interactions with those ads. These cookies may be considered to be a “sale” of personal information or “sharing” or “processing” of personal information for “targeted advertising” purposes under applicable law.

15.2 How to Exercise Your Rights

Opt-out of Sale/Share/Targeted Advertising.

If you would like to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data for targeted advertising, please visit this page:

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (also linked in our Sites footer)

or contact us at data-privacy@complex.com.

Alternatively, if you have a legally-recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law.

Please note that because these activities are based on Cookies, you will need to opt out again if you visit one of our Services from a different device or browser or if you clear your Cookies. Your selections are specific to the device, website, and browser you are using, and are deleted whenever you clear your browser’s cache. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal data of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.** **

To opt out of the offline disclosure of your information to third parties for these purposes, please email us at data-privacy@complex.com.

Exercising Your Other Privacy Rights

You can find instructions on how to proceed at our consent preferences center. You may exercise your rights by completing the form on our Request Portal which can be accessed here. You may also reach us at data-privacy@complex.com.

Please note that the verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you, including when an authorized agent makes a request on your behalf. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an Account with us. We will only use personal data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Only you or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal data. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of another individual, we may require proof of your written authorization before processing the request. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or deletion twice within a 12-month period.

Please note that certain data may be exempt from such requests, such as access, data portability, correction, and deletion requests, under US Privacy Law. For example, we need to retain certain data in order to provide the Services to you or to comply with our legal obligations.

As described above, if we are unable to honor your request or you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request, you may have the right, within a reasonable period of time, to appeal our decision. Please send your appeal by email to data-privacy@complex.com with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line.

the purpose for which we use each category of “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) we collect; and
the categories of third parties to which we (a) disclose such personal information for a business purpose, (b) “share” personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising,” and/or (c) “sell” such personal information.

Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across distinct online services, and “selling” is defined as the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. We “share” information with our advertising partners to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. Moreover, our use of third-party analytics services and online advertising services may result in the sharing of online identifiers (e.g., cookie data, IP addresses, device identifiers, and usage information) in a way that may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA.

In the past 12 months, we have processed the categories of personal information listed in the table below. The table also lists, for each category, the source, business purpose, and a general description of third parties to whom this information may be disclosed. For more details regarding the sources, business purposes, and third parties to which we disclose this information, please see Sections 5-9 of this Privacy Policy above.
