We also ask that you not send us, and you not disclose to us, any sensitive Personal Information on or through the services or otherwise.
"Other Information" is any information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an individual, such as browser and device information, app usage data, information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies, demographic information, and information that has been aggregated in a manner that no longer reveals your specific identity.
We may use "cookies" in connection with operation of our websites. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer by the Ferdinand Merchandise website server. We use this information to ensure that the services function properly and to personalize your experience.
Ferdinand Merchandise has implemented technological and operational security processes to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unintentional destruction. While no security measure can guarantee against compromise, Ferdinand Merchandise regularly reviews and updates its security measures in an effort to provide appropriate security for all information held by Ferdinand Merchandise. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us.
Ferdinand Merchandise reserves the right to change, modify, or update this Privacy Statement at any time. The "Last Updated" legend at the top of this Privacy Statement indicates when this Privacy Statement was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Statement on the services. Your use of the services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement.

Ferdinand Merchandise will not retain your Personal Information longer than is necessary and permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

In nearly all cases your Personal Information may be collected or processed by, and transferred to, Ferdinand Merchandise facilities in the United States and in other countries where Ferdinand Merchandise does business. Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the services you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.
If you are located in the EEA: For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, to protect your Personal Information.
We may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control these websites, we encourage you to review the privacy statement posted on these (and all) third party sites. Ferdinand Merchandise is not responsible for the privacy statements or practices of sites and services controlled by other companies or organizations. The inclusion of a link on the services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.
