Third Party Service Providers; Disclosure for a Business Purpose

Our third-party service providers are our vendors that provide services to us directly or to you on our behalf and that receive your personal information in order to provide those services. For example, we run our online platform through a service provider that may receive your personal information to help us run our business. We also provide your name and shipping information to one or more shipping services providers, so that they may deliver your order. We use a third-party payment provider to process your cardholder data when you make purchases online or over the phone. We also use an e-mail list to conduct marketing for Bridgehampton Breeze, which may be shared with third party service providers that provide us email distribution, digital marketing, and other services. (For more information on marketing, see the section below titled “Marketing email communications”.)

Some of our third-party service providers also provide services directly to consumers. If you use any consumer-facing applications or services from businesses that collect personal information and also happen to be our service providers, this Privacy Policy will not apply to that information.We encourage you to read the privacy notices of every business to which you provide your personal information.

In the unlikely event that another business buys some or all of Bridgehampton Breeze, your personal information may come under the control of the purchaser.

Use of ‘Cookies’

A “cookie” is a small data file stored on your hard drive by websites that sends information back to those websites to enable certain functionality, which may include a unique user ID to recognize you. Related tools include a pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, which an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our site and can track your visits by placing and reading cookies on your computer. Most web browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies; refer to your browser’s help documentation for more information. But note that if you turn off cookies or refuse to accept them, this may have a negative impact on the usability of our website. Your browser documentation can also help you delete existing cookies.

Bridgehampton Breeze uses cookies and other tools and code on our websites, for three purposes: (1) to help enhance your experience on our website, (2) use website analytics tools, and (3) to participate in personalized advertising.

We may use cookies to recognize your repeat visit, preserve the contents of your shopping bag, recognize the accounts of our registered users, track your movement on our site, and measure activity on our site to determine our most popular areas and features.

Advertising Networks and Online Marketing

Bridgehampton Breeze does not track your online activity across third party websites or online services. However, like many ecommerce businesses, we may partner with third party advertising networks to support our marketing activities. The advertising networks uses “cookies” or “pixels” that we place on our sites to enable the networks to help market our products online. These use anonymous unique identifiers and Bridgehampton Breeze does not provide your name or other identified information to the advertising networks, and the networks do not send us information about your external online activity. If you click an ad, the browser on your computer or device may tell us the website where you clicked the ad.

You can avoid certain targeted marketing by disabling cookies in your browser for our site or for all sites. However, you may lose functionality if you disable cookies. If you leave cookies enabled, you consent to our use of such third party advertising vendors and services, to their placement of cookies onto your computer, and to the privacy policies of the third party advertising networks. You agree that if you leave cookies enabled, Bridgehampton Breeze is not responsible for how the third party advertisers use your information. Further, as new technologies are developed, we cannot promise that your online activity will never be tracked, such as by the company that developed your internet browser.

Do Not Track Signals

Because there is no standard understanding of what a “Do Not Track” browser signal is supposed to mean, our website does not respond to those signals in any particular way. To avoid tracking cookies, you may use an “incognito”, “private” or similar browser window to browse the internet without tracking cookies. However, the software manufacturer of your browser may still track your activity. Please check with Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, DuckDuckGo or other such manufacturer for more information.

Security and SSL

Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of information you transmit to us through a web browser. However, because of the inherent nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee that data you exchange with us will always remain completely secure. Third parties and bad actors may intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, neither Bridgehampton Breeze nor any of our service providers can ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
