Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how Gnarlysacs.com uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through Gnarlysacs.com, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Gnarlysacs.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Gnarlysacs.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WordPress.org’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WordPress.org may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gnarlysacs.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Gnarlysacs.com does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Gnarlysacs.com choose to interact with Gnarlysacs.com in ways that require Gnarlysacs.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Gnarlysacs.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. 

In each case, Gnarlysacs.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Gnarlysacs.com. Gnarlysacs.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

All of the information that is collected on Gnarlysacs.com will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Gnarlysacs.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Gnarlysacs.com’s behalf or to provide services available through Gnarlysacs.com, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Gnarlysacs.com, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

Gnarlysacs.com will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Gnarlysacs.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when Gnarlysacs.com believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Gnarlysacs.com, third parties, or the public at large.

If you provided your e-mail address through our web form Gnarlysacs.com may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new happenings with the band Gnarly Sacs, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with new merch products. For the love of everything! Does anybody read this malarky!!!

Cookie Policy

Cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to ‘remember’ you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a ‘session cookie’) or for multiple repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as ‘first party cookies’), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (‘third party cookies’).

Cookies set by Gnarlysacs.com

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for visitors and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the ‘like’ or ‘follow’ button on a post, for example). Below the different categories of cookies set by Gnarlysacs.com are outlined.

Strictly Necessary: These are the cookies that are essential for WordPress.org to perform basic functions. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account related functions.

Functionality: These cookies are used to store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location.

Performance: Performance cookies collect information on how users interact with Gnarlysacs.com.

Tracking: These are set by trusted third party networks (e.g. Google Analytics) to track details such as the number of unique visitors, and pageviews to help improve the user experience.

Third Party/Embedded Content: Gnarlysacs.com makes use of different third party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from YouTube and Vimeo. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies. 

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies, or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored — either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins.

To find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org. For more details on advertising cookies, and how to manage them, visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU based), or aboutads.info(US based).
