When you provide a Ripstyles Agent with your personal information, you consent to the information practices described in this policy.

This privacy policy applies to Ripstyles operations and locations in the United States and is different from the privacy policy for Ripstyles locations in Canada.

To assist you with reading through our privacy policy, we have provided questions and answers below that you may find helpful in understanding our privacy practices:

Does Ripstyles share my personal information with others?

Ripstyles does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. The third parties with whom Ripstyles conducts business are only authorized to use your information to perform the service for which they were hired. As part of our agreement with them, they are required to follow the privacy guidelines given to them and to take reasonable measures to ensure your personal information is secure.

Ripstyles may also share your personal information with companies who have referred you to us for goods and services, or have provided space in their store locations for Ripstyles to offer its goods and services, or have allowed us to have a presence on their Web sites.

From time to time, we may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. Ripstyles may share certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and others. Ripstyles may also transfer personal information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution or similar event.

Third-Party Ad Providers

Our Web sites may use third-party service providers to serve ads across the Internet and analyze Web site traffic on our behalf. They may collect anonymous information about your visits to our Web site, and your interaction with our ads. These companies may use technologies similar to those outlined above to measure the effectiveness of ads and e-mails. They may also use information about your visits to this and other Web sites so that we can provide advertisements about goods and services.

No personally identifiable information is collected in this process. We may share anonymous information with this service provider in an aggregate form, for purposes of analysis and improvement of our site.
