A2Z Recognition Products, Inc. ("us", "we", or "our") operates theburlapshop.com ("site", “website”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information that we receive from users (“you”, “your”, “user”, “users”, "customer", "customers", "client", "clients") of this website.
We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with this website.
In addition, this statement will outline the rights of users that are located in the European Union (“EU”), as it relates to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) legislation.
This privacy policy explains how, why and what we do with the data we collect from you. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help.
By using our website you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice.
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
Broadly speaking, we use this type of personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, to monitor the use of the service, for our marketing and promotional efforts and improve our content and service offerings, and customize our website's content, layout, services, and for other lawful purposes.
These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs. Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with third parties except as required by law and/or to the extent to protect our legal rights.
“Cookies” are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device and to provide features such as personalized advertisements on other Web sites and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
Most internet browsers have a Help feature that will instruct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Because cookies allow you to receive some of our website’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block or otherwise refuse the use of our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any products and services that require you to sign in.
As you visit and browse our website, the website uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log-in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website, and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our clients.
“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Some cookies may originate from third parties, which are primarily used for marketing, advertising, and data analysis purposes. Such programs include services like Google Analytics and Google AdWords (including Remarketing and such other targeted advertisements).
As mentioned above, we may use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
You can opt out of targeted advertising by visiting:
-Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads
-Google - https://www.google.com/settings/ads/anonymous
-Bing - https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/policies/personalized-ads
Additionally, you can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at: http://optout.aboutads.info/.
Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
Registering an account on our website makes completing a purchase on our website faster and easier on future visits. The creation of an account allows you to quickly select a shipping address from any entered / stored addresses in your online account – rather than having to enter this information again at checkout, view your past order history, and re-order any of your previously purchased items.
Information that you enter during the creation / registration of an account on our site is only used for such purposes.
When you place an order on our website, we require information that is pertinent for our ability to fulfill your order, including your:
-First and Last Name (so we know how to address you if we have any questions about your order, as well as for shipping labels and payment processing)
-Shipping Address (for delivery of your order)
-Phone Number (for shipping labels and/or to contact you with questions regarding your order)
-Email Address (to contact you with questions regarding your order, and to update you with your order status such as an order confirmation email, an email notifying you that your order has shipped, etc.)
-Billing Address (for payment processing)
-Credit Card Number, Expiration Date, and Security Code (for payment processing)
-IP Address (to assist us in checking if an order is legitimate)
Even if you choose to place an order “offline” (not on our website), we still require certain personal information to be able to fulfill and complete your order. This includes all of the required information needed for an online order (see above). We may use third parties that assist in the completion of your offline order.
If you choose to correspond with us through email or our Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) contact form – located on our Contact Us page – we may retain the content of your messages together with your email address and our responses. Your IP Address will also be collected when contacting us through our CRM contact form.
If you choose to correspond with us through our Live Chat software, we may retain a transcript of our correspondence with you. This transcript will include the date(s), time(s), and your device information (including the web page that you were on, the referring web page, your IP Address, your IP Host Name, your broswer & operating system, and your location).
We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
When you enter a product review on our website, you are required to enter a name (or nickname) and a location, as well as your review of the product. The name and location information that you enter for your product review can be viewed by the public on our website once you submit your review. You have full control over what name you use, and what location you enter, when writing your product review.
You can be as specific (using your real name, and your real city/state/province) or as vague (such as a completely made-up nickname, and something like “planet Earth” as your location) as you choose.
For our records, your email address and IP address are collected with your product review, but your email address and IP address are NOT available to the general public on our website.
Similarly, when you enter a product question on our website, you are required to enter your name, email, and your question about the product. For our records, your IP Address is also collected. The name and product question that you enter will be public on our website if/when we publish your product question. However, the email address that you enter and your IP Address will NOT be public on our website, and we will only use that information to communicate with you regarding your inquiry, if applicable.
Like our product reviews, you can make up a name if you do not want your real name to be publically available on our website. We do not recommend putting personally identifiable information in your question (such as your address, email, phone number, etc.), though we do screen each product question before posting, and make every attempt to either edit or remove such information prior to posting it on our website. We also may choose not to publish your product question, if it contains such information.
Occasionally, we may offer a survey or contest in which case our site, a third party site that is aggregating the information necessary for the survey or contest, or both, will request information for your entry and participation. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as Zip Code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winner(s) and award prize(s). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested.
Third Party Service Providers may be employed to perform functions on our behalf, such as processing payments, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their respective functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so; in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction, but this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information about customers for commercial purposes in violation of this Privacy Policy.
When using our website, including filling out a contact form (“CRM”), initiating a live chat conversation, placing an order, registering for an account, or signing up for our email newsletter, your information is encrypted through the use of Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”).

This information includes the product(s) and/or service(s) purchased, the date of your order, and any necessary information pertaining to the transaction (including billing and shipping information). In case of a financial audit, the need for proof of purchase, or for legal matters, order information cannot be requested for deletion.
