This Privacy Policy is provided to explain how information is collected on our website and how that information is handled once it has been collected. This Privacy Policy may change at any time. By using the HigherApparel.com website, you accept the terms and conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

THE KIND OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

There are cases where Higher Apparel may ask you for personal information, such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, payment information, etc. We may do this for instance when you make a purchase through the Online Shop, respond to communications such as email, or for services that require registration such as to be included on our mailing list. However, if you would like to be on our mailing list, we will ask you to opt-in. We might also collect personal information from you about a third party, for instance if you ask us to ship product to a third party we may ask for the name, e-mail address, address, phone number, etc. of the recipient. That information will only be used for the specific purpose for which the information was provided and Higher Apparel will not further contact the third party unless the third party contacts us.

This information may be combined with information you have provided to us thereby enabling us to enhance your experience.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTIES

For your convenience and to improve the usage of the website, we insert links to third parties, for which this Privacy Policy does not apply. These links take you outside our services and off the HigherApparel.com website and are beyond our control. This includes links from parties that may use Higher Apparel logos as part of a co-branding agreement or sell Higher Apparel products. The sites you can link to have their own separate Privacy Policy and although we seek to protect the integrity of our site, Higher Apparel is not responsible and cannot be held liable for the content and activities of these sites. Your visit/access to these sites therefore is entirely at your own risk. Please note that these other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.
