You can do this by following the instructions in the communication (where this is an electronic message) or by contacting us using the details set out in the Contact Us section.

With regard to the third-party tracking technologies noted earlier in this Policy, we and our third-party partners use information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

To learn how you can opt out of such advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, and/or the DAA’s resources at https://www.aboutads.info/choices, and/or the TradeDesk’s resources at https://www.adsrvr.org.

TFE does not sell your Personal Information in the traditional sense of the word. However, certain US state laws (for example California) define the concept of “sell” to include activity like what is described when we share your Personal Information as part of our participation in affiliate advertising networks. To opt-out of this kind of sharing, you can use the methods described above.

How long we keep your information

Generally, we will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which your personal information has been collected (as outlined in this privacy policy) unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Where we process registration information, we retain this for as long as we consider that you are an active user of our sites.

Where we process personal information for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the information until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your information indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.

Our disclosure of your information

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except as provided for in this Policy. Generally we will disclose Personal Information for any of the purposes described in this Policy and in the following circumstances:

at your instruction;
where we are required or authorized by law to do so, for example to law enforcement agencies;
where third parties appointed by us require access to personal information held by us to perform services (in which case we require these third parties to keep that personal information confidential and not to use or disclose it for any purpose other than the purpose of performing those services). The types of third parties we may transfer information to include vendors, service providers, agencies and other partners who globally support our business and help us administer certain activities on our behalf, such as providing technical infrastructure services, marketing services, customer service, data hosting and management services, processing credit card payments services for us, and providing logistics and delivery services to help us deliver our products and services; or
to our related companies in order to operate our global business and in accordance with the law.

We may also transfer personal information to a related company or a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business or assets.

Our websites sometimes contain links to other websites. With the exception of other sites owned by us, we do not control the privacy practices of sites reached through links from our websites. If you have any questions about the privacy practices of those websites, then you should contact the relevant companies directly.

Your rights in relation to your information

Under applicable law, you may be entitled to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, including to correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal information. In some jurisdictions, applicable law may also entitle you ask us to transmit your data to another controller where the processing is based on your consent carried out by automated means, or entitle you to object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances (for example, where we don’t have to process the information to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the information for direct marketing or profiling). However, these rights may be limited (for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping).

TFE does not discriminate against Website visitors who choose to exercise their rights under any applicable data privacy law. Website visitors may generally exercise such rights at no charge. However, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or further copies of the same information. Alternatively, we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.

To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us using the details set in the Contact Us section.

Security

We take appropriate measures to keep your personal information secure. We have implemented appropriate physical and electronic procedures to protect the personal information we collect. If you have an account with us, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account details including your password and are responsible for any activity under your account. We will not be responsible for any loss arising from your failure to comply with this obligation.

Due to its nature, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will protect your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted to our websites and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security measures to try to prevent unauthorized access.

If you have any questions or concerns about our collection, use or disclosure of personal information, wish to exercise your rights in relation to data protection or you wish to make a complaint in relation to our privacy practices, please visit our Privacy Portal Link.

In addition, you may exercise your access and deletion rights described above by submitting a verifiable consumer request to us by calling us at 800-967-4663 (toll-free).

If you have a complaint or concern about how we use your personal data, please contact us in the first instance and we will attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority at any time.

Your Rights Under “Shine the Light”

In addition to your rights under the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure, if any, of their personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If this applies, you may obtain the categories of personal information shared and the names and addresses of all third parties that received personal information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2018 will receive information about 2017 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request in writing via our Online Portal.
