We collect information using cookies and other technologies. A cookie is a small file that is stored on your device. We (or authorized third parties) may use multiple types of cookies, including HTTP, HTTPS, JavaScript, or HTML5 cookies, to collect and store information about you and your activities on our Website and Apps. A web beacon is an object embedded in a web page or email, which allows a person to check that a user has accessed that content. Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and tell you how to restrict or disable certain cookies. However, blocking or deleting browser cookies may not block or delete other types of cookies, including Flash cookies. For additional information about browser privacy preferences, please consult the features of your browser. If you disable or remove cookies, some parts of our Website and Apps may not function properly, or you may not be able to use some or all the features and functions of our Website and Apps.
We use technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online systems. Third-party advertising companies and our service providers may also use cookies and other technologies to collect information about you and your activities on our Website and Apps and other websites for a variety of purposes, including providing you with advertisements that may be of interest to you. This type of advertisement customization is sometimes referred to as “online behavioral” or “interest-based” advertising. The use of tracking technologies by third parties at our Website and Apps is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies, not our privacy policy. Please see the “Opt-Out” section below for more information about online behavioral tracking, and how you can opt out of some forms of online behavioral tracking.
We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of our Website and Apps. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our sites, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they accessed or used prior to coming to our sites. We use the information from Google Analytics to understand website user behavior as it relates to content and marketing, such as to improve our Website, Apps, and services. Google Analytics collects your IP address but does not collect your name or other personal information. We may also use other data analytic tools and service providers in the future.
We may combine information we collect about you using technology with other information we have about you, including personal information.

5. DO-NOT-TRACK DISCLOSURE
Some web browsers have “do-not-track” features that tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our Website and Apps do not currently recognize or respond to automated browser signals, which may include “do-not-track” instructions.
6. CHILDREN UNDER 13
Our Website is not intended for children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are the parent or guardian of a person under 13 and believe that person provided us with personal information, please contact us at CustomerService@republicelite.com.

If you do not want personal information that we collect about you to be used for our marketing purposes, or for third-party marketing if you have consented to such sharing, you can opt out of such use and sharing by emailing your request to us at CustomerService@republicelite.com.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
If you are located outside the United States, please note that we and our servers are in the United States. Any information that you provide to us may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries around the world where we do business. This transfer may include recipients of information located in countries where there may be a lower level of legal protection for your personal information than in your country. By using our Website or Apps, you unambiguously consent to your information being collected, processed, used, and transferred as disclosed herein.
a. European Union Data Privacy Rights
If you are in the European Union (“EU”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) grants you certain rights under the law. In particular, the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, and data portability of the personal information we hold about you. We may retain your personal information from the time you first engage with our Website or Apps until you request deletion of such personal information.
Upon request, we will grant you reasonable access to personal information that we hold about you. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to permit you to correct, amend, delete, restrict processing of, and request portability of the personal information we hold about you. We also rely upon your assistance in providing accurate updates of your personal information.
As described above, if you provide us with User Contributions, that information may become public, and we may not be able to retrieve, delete, or prevent further distribution of User Contributions on our Website, Apps, and in other forms of media once that information has entered the public domain. Upon submitting a User Contribution, you acknowledge that User Contributions are subject to this Privacy Notice and the applicable terms and conditions issued by us for such User Contributions.
If you have a comment, question, or complaint about how we are handling your personal information, we hope that you contact us at customerservice@republicelite.com to allow us to resolve the matter. In addition, if you are in the EU, you may submit a complaint regarding the processing of your personal information to the EU data protection authorities (each a “DPA”). The following link may assist you in finding the appropriate DPA: EC.EUROPA.EU/JUSTICE/DATA-PROTECTION/BODIES/AUTHORITIES/INDEX_EN.HTM.
b. Legal Basis for Processing Under GDPR
We process and transfer your personal information under GDPR based on your consent as described in this Privacy Notice. In addition, in certain circumstances, we process your personal information because it is necessary to enter and perform a contract between us and you. Finally, we may also process your personal information based on our legitimate interests to market and sell our products.
Where personal information is processed based on consent, EU residents have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. To do so, please contact CustomerService@republicelite.com. If there is a different legal basis that would permit us to continue processing your personal information after withdrawing consent, we will notify you of that legal basis at the time of your request.
9. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
a. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with certain rights about your personal information. Throughout this Privacy Notice you will find information required by CCPA regarding the categories of personal information collected from you, the purposes for which we use personal information, and the categories of third parties your data may be shared with. As previously stated, this information is current as of the date of the Notice.
As a California resident, the CCPA provides you the ability to make inquiries regarding your personal information. Specifically, the degree to which the information is not already provided in this Privacy Notice, you have the right to request disclosure about the collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months, including:
• The categories of personal information collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information collected about you.
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom your personal information was shared.
• The specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
• If your personal information was disclosed for a business purpose, the personal information categories disclosed and the categories of third parties to which the information was disclosed.
• If your personal information was sold in the past 12 months, the personal information categories sold and the categories of third parties to which the information was sold.
Please note that you may only make the above requests twice in a 12-month period. You also have the right to request that any of your personal information collected and retained be deleted, subject to certain exceptions. Finally, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by Republic Elite or any business for exercising any of the rights provided under CCPA.
You may submit a request regarding your rights under CCPA to the following:
• 972-735-0934
• customerservice@republicelite.com
If we receive a CCPA request from you, we will first decide regarding the applicability of the law, and we will then take steps to verify your identity prior to responding. The steps to verify your identity may vary based on our relationship with you, but, at a minimum, it will take the form of confirming and matching the information submitted in the request with information already held by Republic Elite and/or contacting you through previously used channels to confirm that you submitted the request (i.e., confirming identity through contact information that we have on file, not the contact information submitted to make the request).
Your rights as stated here can also be exercised by an authorized agent on your behalf. Republic Elite will follow the standards set by the Attorney General of California regarding designation of an authorized agent to exercise rights under CCPA. You may review information available through the Attorney General website (OAG.CA.GOV/PRIVACY/CCPA) regarding how an individual can be designated as an authorized agent under CCPA.
b. California Marketing Communications
California law requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California residents asking about the disclosure of personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. In the alternative, such businesses may adopt a policy of not disclosing personal information to third parties for marketing purposes if a California resident has opted out of such information-sharing. We do not share your personal information with third parties without consent. We also have an opt-out policy in place. If you wish to opt out of our sharing your personal information for marketing purposes after you have consented, please follow the “opt Out” instructions above.
10. SECURITY
We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information in our custody or control. However, we cannot guarantee that these safeguards will prevent the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your personal information.
12. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY NOTICE
We will post any changes we make to our Privacy Notice on this page with a notice on this page. If we make changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our Website. The date the privacy Notice was last revised is identified at the top of this page.
