Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy outlines the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from Epicstore (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect specific information about your device, including details about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and certain cookies installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we gather information about the individual web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. This data is referred to as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using various technologies, including:
– “Cookies,” which are data files placed on your device that often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files,” which track actions occurring on the Site and collect data like your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels,” which are electronic files used to record information about your browsing behavior on the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to do so through the Site, we collect certain information from you, such as your name, IP address, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including encrypted credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
Throughout this Privacy Policy, when we mention “Personal Information,” we are referring to both Device Information and Order Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We primarily use the Order Information we collect to fulfill any orders you place through the Site. This involves processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and order confirmations. Additionally, we utilize the Order Information to:
– Communicate with you;
– Administer your account;
– Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
– Provide you with information or advertising related to our products or services in accordance with your preferences.
We use the Device Information we collect to help identify potential risks and fraudulent activities, especially through your IP address. Moreover, we utilize this data to improve and optimize our Site, generate analytics about how customers browse and interact with the Site, and assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
To assist us in using your Personal Information as described above, we may share it with third-party service providers. For example, we use UPS to generate shipping labels. Additionally, we use Google Analytics to understand how customers use the Site. You can find more information about how Google uses Personal Information at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Please note that we only share your personal information with third parties as described in this privacy statement. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
If you participate in a white-labeled enterprise campaign, we may share your name, email address, and order details (such as size and quantity) with the enterprise customers to maintain communication.
We may provide your personal information to companies that offer services to help us with our business activities, such as shipping your order or providing customer service. These companies are authorized to use your personal information solely for the purpose of providing these services to us.
Additionally, we may disclose your personal information:
– As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process.
– When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
– In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets. In such a case, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site regarding any change in ownership or use of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.
– To any other third party with your prior consent.

SECURITY
We place a high priority on the security of your personal information. To protect the personal information you submit to us, both during transmission and upon receipt, we follow generally accepted industry standards. When you enter sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Moreover, customer information in our database is encrypted, ensuring that names and addresses are never stored in plain text. While we take appropriate measures to safeguard your personal information, please understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Should you have any questions about the security of our Website, please contact us.

We offer two ways for you to make a purchase on our Site. You can either use our order form or opt for a third-party payment option. If you use our shopping cart, sensitive information collected on our order form is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and processed by Authorize.net. If you choose a third-party payment option, such as PayPal, to pay for your order, their privacy policy and security practices will apply to your information. We encourage you to read their privacy policy before providing your information.
