How We Share, Disclose, or Sell Your Information
Marketing: we may disclose your customer information with other select companies, such as marketing partners, whose products and services you may find useful, and for customer acquisition, marketing, and advertising purposes. This information includes your name, postal address and email address, as well as a record of any transactions you conduct on our Websites or offline (for example, in our stores or via customer service). These companies may contact you in order to provide you with information about their products and services. We do not share or disclose information of users of our Website that provide an EU mailing address or are identified as being from EU locations.
Online advertising: we contract with trusted partners to provide more tailored advertising relevant to your interests, such as by placing our banner advertising on other websites. These companies collect information from us about your visits to our Websites and stores, and your interaction with our products and services. We may track this information across the different devices you use to access the Websites. These companies do not collect EU IP addresses for the purpose of advertising, and we do not place banner advertising on other websites for customers identified as being from EU locations.
Sharing among our entities: we share and combine information about you among our brands in order to provide greater security and to provide information about products and services that might interest you. We also share your information with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control as necessary for specific purposes in the operation of our business.
Sharing with vendors: in order to serve you better, we may contract with other companies to help us process information and to provide us with other services. Their assistance can help us fulfill customer orders, manage, store, enhance, and analyze customer data, send marketing, run promotions, and provide other services. For instance, when you order a large furniture item, we may send your name, address, email address and phone number to our shipping vendor, allowing you to access their online delivery scheduling system. Our shipping service providers use your information strictly to coordinate and complete your shipment. We may also store customer service communications such as texts or chats with a trusted service provider. A service provider may also store information about your interactions with our website for analytics purposes.
In connection with a business reorganization: we would share your information if we were involved in a merger, acquisition, consolidation, change of control, or sale of all or a portion of our assets or if we undergo bankruptcy or liquidation
Prevent fraud and abuse: we review transactions internally on a regular basis to identify potential concerns, and we partner with select outside companies to further enhance our ability to ensure that fraudulent orders and/or potentially damaging worms, viruses, and other types of malware do not interfere with our ability to provide the best possible products, value, and services to you and to our other valued customers.
Protect your rights: we will share information in an emergency or to protect the safety of any person and if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the rights, property, or personal safety of any person.
Protect our rights and comply with our legal obligations: we cooperate with government and law-enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose personal information and any other information about you to government or law-enforcement officials or private parties if, in our discretion, we believe it is necessary or appropriate in order to respond to legal requests (including court orders and subpoenas); to protect our safety, property or rights or those of any third party; to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity; or to comply with the law.
