The following sections describe why some of your information may be shared.

To enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Galibier Design, our users, and other individuals.
Please be advised that when products are shipped using a common carrier (e.g. FedEx, USPS, air freight companies, etc.), all required delivery information is transmitted to them. This includes name, address, telephone number, and where applicable, any other information which is legally or otherwise required for export to countries outside the US.
Promotional Offers:
In rare instances, we send offers or otherwise notify selected Galibier customers on behalf of other businesses.

Complying With Legal Authorities and Government Regulations
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Galibier Design, our users, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We will only do this when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with such legal process, to investigate violations of our policies, to protect yours and our rights and safety and the safety of others.
Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We will inform you separately of any such action either before the action is taken or at the latest after there is no risk of impairment of the purpose of the planned action.
Consulting Firms or Other Partners
These partners may guide decisions about Galibier’s products, website, applications, services, tools, and communications.
Other partners may host services on their own servers. For example, our mailing list provider stores the information you provide onto their server when you sign up (sign-up is voluntary and you can opt-out after signing up).
Other Businesses and Third Parties
Parties other than Galibier Design may operate businesses, provide services, or sell product either directly, by referral from us, or through links to these businesses on our website.
We will only transfer your personal data to any third party suppliers if and to the extent we are permitted to do so by law, and as specified in the Privacy Policy, or if you have provided your prior consent. We herewith confirm that a Data Protection Agreement is in place and no data will be used other than as authorized by you.
We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals or the content of their Web sites.
Galibier Design does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, product, and content of all these and any other third parties. You should carefully review their privacy statements and other conditions of use.
When you interact with our website through social media sites, plug-ins or other applications, depending upon your privacy settings, this information may become public on the Internet. We cannot prevent further use of this information.
You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social media sites. Please refer to those third party sites’ privacy policies and their terms of use to learn more about their privacy practices, which we do not control.

Personal Data is Not for Sale
Galibier Design does not sell, rent, share, or otherwise disclose personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.
With Your Consent
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Information Storage and Security
General Security
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input and transmit to us.
Of course, it is important for you practice generally accepted security guidelines to protect against unauthorized access to any passwords on your computer, as well as to pay attention to attempts to steal your information through such nefarious practices as phishing as well as other attempts to inject malware into your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
Credit Card Processing
When you pay by credit card, we use a major credit card processor which follows industry standard, best practice encryption and communication methodologies.
We transmit the entire credit card number directly to our credit card processor during order processing, and your number is never stored on our web servers or our local computers – even temporarily.
After transaction completion, we only have access to the last four digits of your credit card number, which we use in the event we need to confirm an order with you.
When necessary, we communicate with the processor using a “token” which is a best practice encryption technique that allows us to refer to your transaction without knowing your credit card number.
Personally Identifiable Information
As noted above, the only personally identifiable information Galibier Design may have on our web servers, or our mailing list servers is your name and e-mail address.
Note that we may store your contact information on our mobile phone to facilitate timely voice and e-mail communications with you.
All e-mail correspondence and address books are stored on local computers (not connected to our web server).
Also (as noted above) invoicing information is (in general) stored offline, on local computers. However, if you request a PayPal invoice from us, our PayPal account will have a record of the invoicing information that is retrieved from the PayPal account which you (the customer) maintain.
At such point that we collect more information about you, we will update this section and provide a means of your maintaining it.
Cookies and Automated Tracking
Overview
This section explains how we use cookies and related automated technologies to provide our services to you through our website.
Related technologies also include but are not limited to tracking/marketing pixels as well as technologies which aid in collecting website statistics and analytics.
None of the data referenced in this section is personally identifiable information.
Details on how to manage cookies is in the section “Managing and Controlling My Personal Information”.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files sent from a website which are stored in a user’s web browser (on your computer or your mobile device).
When you return to our website, this data allows the website to remember your previous visit. It is a means of remembering things like personalized preferences you may have selected, and whether you entered our website from an affiliate website.
For example, we use cookies to remember if you have seen our cookie notification message, so it is not displayed again if you have already accepted it.
When do we use cookies?
Since we currently do not have user account functionality, our use of cookies is minimal. We primarily use them to ensure the correct functioning of our website, to track website statistics, and for marketing as described below.
What types of cookies and automated tracking do we use?
We currently use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential
Some cookies are essential for you to be able to experience the full functionality of our site. They allow us to maintain user sessions and prevent any security threats.
Functional:
These are the cookies that help with certain functionalities on our website. This includes embedding content like videos or sharing content on the website on social media platforms.
Security
We use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our Terms and Conditions.
Preferences
We use temporary “session” cookies which enable your web browser to remember which pages on our website have already been visited. This information may be used to help us improve, administer and diagnose problems with our website and web server.
Analytics and Other Automated Tracking
We may also collect and store information like the number of visitors to the website, the number of unique visitors, where a visitor linked to the website from, etc.
We may also employ methods to collect data and analyze the traffic patterns on our website, such as which pages of the website have been visited and the frequency with which they were visited.
This serves to help us understand how the website performs and where it needs improvement.
These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us, or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf.
No personally identifiable information is collected by the website, and the IP address is anonymized per EU data protection guidelines.
Marketing:
This includes “Pixel Tags” (also known as “Web Beacons”) as well as other technical methods to track visitor interests.
Pixel Tags and related technologies are small pieces of data embedded in the website, and they may also be used by the third-party ad providers to show you ads on other websites.
Third Party Cookies.
Some cookies that have been set on our website may not be related to or controlled by us. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube, Twitter or Facebook, these service providers may set their own cookies on your web browser.
We do not control the use of these cookies and cannot access them due to the way cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party which originally set them. You should check the third party’s website for more information about these cookies, and refer to the section “Managing and Controlling My Personal Information” for more details.
Managing and Controlling My Personal Information
What choices do I have?
By accessing our website, you agree to accept all cookies, website statistic and analytic gathering information, marketing/tracking pixels, and all other data which we collect as outlined in both this document and the supporting documents referenced in the first section of this Privacy Policy.
There are some items you can manage/delete, which we outline below, and at such point that we collect more information about you, we will update this section accordingly.
Mailing List
If you subscribe to our mailing list, you may update your information or unsubscribe at any time by using the link in the footer of all of our mass mailings.
Refusing Collection of Tracking Data
Cookies
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their device a little intrusive, in particular when the information is stored and used by a third party. For example, you may object to being served advertising which is targeted to your interests based on your browsing history.
If you would prefer to opt out of cookies, it is possible to control cookies by following the steps below. However, you should be aware that you might lose some features and functionality of our website if you do so. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will see the display of the cookie message each time you visit the website (admittedly, a minor annoyance).
Cookies, including those which have already been set, can be deleted from your hard drive. You can also change the preferences/settings in your web browser to control cookies. You can configure your web browser to either receive a warning each time a cookie is sent, or to turn off all cookies on a site by site basis.
Some internet browsers have a ‘Do Not Track or ‘DNT’ setting; this sends a signal to websites asking them not to track your browsing.
More information about cookies and details of how to manage or disable them can be found here, as well as here.
The following links to popular browsers may be helpful, as options vary by browser:
Analytics Gathering
Our analytics software cannot be disabled, but it does not contain any personally identifiable information, and your IP address is anonymized.
Tracking and Marketing Pixels
These cannot be disabled.
For Facebook however, you can configure your privacy preferences. The link URL frequently changes, but is typically located in a section titled “Settings and Privacy”, in the same drop-down where you can edit your Profile and other preferences.
At present time, we do not use Google AdSense.
Disabling Other Features
You can disable tracking data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash Cookies (generated by Adobe Flash).
Galibier does not code any of our website content with Adobe Flash, but the possibility exists that you may follow a link to an external site which does (note that Flash is no longer supported by Adobe, and any site which uses Flash is a security risk).
Some steps to remove this are browser-specific and others require visiting Adobe’s site, so we recommend doing a “search” to learn how to do this.
Similarly, third party cookies referenced above (e.g. YouTube, etc.) are not controlled by us and you must visit those sites to manage them.
Revisions and Terms and Conditions
If you choose to visit our website, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, including limitations on damages, resolution of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Colorado.
If you have any concern about your privacy at Galibier, please contact us at the e-mail address below, with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and Galibier Design reserves the right to revise our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions as necessary to reflect both company and customer feedback.
We may e-mail periodic reminders of updates to these policies, but in any case, it is your responsibility to check our website to view any recent changes.
Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
