Nanosocks - Privacy Policy
Our privacy statement, contained in the pages that follow, serves to give notice about the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and why, and what we do to try to protect it. We delve into those matters in a fair amount of detail in the pages that follow. We encourage you to read them carefully. In the meantime, we provide a quick overview below.
Summary of how we handle Personal Information
What do we collect?
We collect and retain certain personal information from different groups of data subjects encompassing: our vendors, customers and those who visit and use our online and mobile resources. Our privacy statement applies mostly to that last group, from which we collect very little information unless it is voluntarily submitted to us. You can read here to learn about the categories of personal information we collect from all four groups of data subjects.
Why do we use it?
We use personal information received from visitors and users of our online and mobile resources to communicate directly with them. Personal information collected from our workforce is used to fulfill our human resources commitments and in furtherance of our legal obligations as an employer, while personal information collected from our customers is used as needed to carry out the contracts we have with them. We provide further detail about our use of personal information here.
When do we share it?
We share personal information when needed to fulfill our legal obligations and when our vendors need it to perform under the contracts we have with them. We provide further detail about our sharing of personal information here. We do not sell or rent any personal information from any group of data subjects to third party data brokers or marketing companies.
How do we protect it?
We’ve invested in a Security Program that addresses both technical and operational matters. Our program includes an incident response and management and vendor oversight components. You can read about those componentshere and here.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
You do not have to provide personal information to enjoy most of the features of our online and mobile resources. Moreover, you can opt out of certain activities like announcements. You can learn more about that here.

SOME IMPORTANT VOCABULARY
Although not itself a contract, this privacy statement is an important document that explains how we address some of our legal obligations, and your related legal rights, involving personal information. Clarity is, therefore, important. We’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this statement. Let’s start with the word “statement” itself: when we reference “this statement”, “this privacy statement” and “our statement”, we mean the Privacy and Data Security Statement you are reading now. Wherever we say “Nano Media”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean Nano Media Inc. We use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 18. This age requirement is discussed in more detail later in this statement here.
When we talk about our “online and mobile resources”, we mean all websites, portals or other features we operate to allow you to interact with us and our systems, as well as the mobile apps we’ve created and distributed to let you interact with the content we provide. An “affinity action” is when you “follow” us, “like” us or take a similar or analogous action on our external social media presence. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, when we refer to “personal information”, we mean information that can be used to identify or easily be linked to you.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect personal information from the following groups of data subjects:
- visitors to, and users of, our online and mobile resources
- our third party vendors
- our customers
The categories of information we collect from each of these groups differs. As you may have noticed, it’s possible that the same person could fall into more than one group. For instance, someone who is a customer might also work for one of our vendors. We explain below the different categories of personal information we collect from each group of data subject.
Visitors and Users of our Online and Mobile Resources
If you visit and/or use our online and mobile resources, we collect and retain a very limited amount of personal information through automated/technical means. We describe that automatic collection here. In addition to that, if you choose to participate in, or make use of certain activities and features available via our online and mobile resources, you will need to provide us with information about yourself. We describe that type of voluntary submission immediately below. By using our online and mobile resources, you are signifying to us that you agree with this section of our privacy statement and that we may use and disclose your information as described.
Voluntarily Submitted Information.
Here are some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information. The types of personal information you will be submitting to us in these situations is almost always limited to identifiers such as your name, email address, mailing address and phone number. You can read about how we use that personal information here.
- Emails and Texts – If you choose to send us an email from our “contact us” link or a similar link, you will be giving us your email address and any other personal information that may be in your message or attached to it. The same is true if you send us a text message.
- Creating Accounts – If we make an account creation feature available to the general public (that is, to visitors/users who are not our customers or workforce members) you will be giving us at least your email address and potentially other identifiers.
- Ordering our Products or Services – If you order one of our products or services via our online and mobile resources, we will collect certain identifiers such as your name, email address and phone number along with certain financial information.
If you prefer we not receive the above-described personal information, please don’t submit it. This means you shouldn’t participate in the applicable activities on, or use the applicable features available from our online and mobile resources. Such participation and use is strictly your choice. By not participating, you may limit your ability to take full advantage of the online and mobile resources, but most of the content in our online and mobile resources will still be available to you.
Automatically Collected Information.
When you visit or use our online and mobile resources, basic information about your internet/electronic activity is automatically collected through your browser via tracking technologies, such as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. Cookies allow us to collect your IP address and recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences for using our online and mobile resources or past actions, such as:
- the type of browser and operating system you use
- the date and time and length of your visit
- the pages visited, graphics viewed and any documents downloaded
- links to other sites you accessed from our online and mobile resources or used to navigate to our online and mobile resources
Additional information about cookies and tracking technologies is available here.
If you access our online and mobile resources from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us certain information such as uniquely identifiable mobile device information. That, in turn, allows us to collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information. Some mobile phone service providers also operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices and we may receive this geolocation data as well.
Finally, when you use our online and mobile resources, we may allow third party service providers to place their own cookies or similar technologies in order to engage in the same types of collection we describe above. For example, we use third party “web analytics” services such as those offered by Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. For more information on how Google specifically uses this data, go to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn more about how to opt out of Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
User Beware: External Sites, Apps, Links and Social Media
We maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn and our online and mobile resources may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties.
We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use.
To be clear: neither this statement nor the terms of use appearing on or in any of our online and mobile resources apply to our social media presence or any third party sites or apps to which we may link. That means even if you take an affinity action on our specific social media presence, and identifiers about you are automatically collected and given to us as a result, that collection and transfer is governed by the privacy policies and other terms of the applicable social media platform and are not our responsibility. If you have questions about how those apps, sites and platforms collect and use personal information, you should carefully read their privacy policies and contact them using the information they provide.
HOW DO WE USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We use personal information we collect only in the manner and through the means allowed by applicable law. That means we determine whether we have a lawful basis/legitimate business purpose to use your personal information before doing so. As stated in applicable law, such lawful bases/legitimate business purposes include receiving express consent, operating our business, performing a contract, and complying with a legal obligation. More specifically, we use the personal information as follows:
Visitors and Users of our Online and Mobile Resources
We use the automatically collected personal information described here to compile generic reports about popular pages/features of our online and mobile resources, and to see how users are accessing our online and mobile resources and in some cases (such as affinity actions) send materials to you. We use the personal information you voluntarily submitted, as described here, to respond back directly to you and/or send you the information you requested or about which you inquired. We also may use any such personal information you provide to customize our programs to make them more relevant to you. We do not sell or rent personal information automatically collected by, or which you voluntarily provide when using our online and mobile resources.
Customers
In addition to the uses described above for visitors and users of our online and mobile resources, if you visit our online and mobile resources and order products or services from us, you will provide us with certain information related to your order as described here. We will use your information to process your order, send you communications regarding your order and also information about other products or sales that may be of interest to you.
Vendors
We use the personal information collected from our vendors (which is largely minimum business contact information) to manage, administer and perform under our contracts with them, or share information about our products. We also may from time-to-time use personal information about their individual personnel to perform background checks on those who are provided access to our facilities or technology networks so that we can help protect the personal information of others stored thereon. We describe our use of vendor personal information in greater detail in our confidential contracts with those parties.
We may share your personal information as described below. This sharing applies to the personal information of the groups of data subjects described here.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose personal information to government authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by such government authorities, or at our discretion or otherwise as required or permitted by law, including responding to court orders and subpoenas.
To Prevent Harm
We also may disclose such information when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, or harming or potentially harming other persons or property.
Business Sale/Purchase
If we sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets, equity interests or securities, or are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, divestiture, consolidation, or liquidation, personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Vendors
We also share personal information with those of our vendors who need it to perform under the contracts we have with them. As part of our Security Program, we have adopted standards for those vendors who receive personal information from us. We attempt to bind such vendors to those standards via written contracts. Such standards include expectations that when we share personal information with our vendors and business partners, they will comply with all applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations and our Security Program, and will contractually require and cause their subcontractors and agents to do the same. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that all of our vendors and business partners will agree to the above-described contractual requirements; nor can we ensure that, even when they do agree, they will always fully comply.
HOW DO WE PROTECT COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Our Data Security Program
We have adopted, implemented and maintain an enterprise-wide corporate information security and privacy program that includes technical, organizational, administrative, and other security measures designed to protect, as required by applicable law (including all those described above), against reasonably anticipated or actual threats to the security of your personal information (the “Security Program”). Our Security Program was created by reference to widely recognized industry standards such as those published by the International Standards Organization, National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. It includes, among many other things, procedures for assessing the need for, and as appropriate, either employing encryption and multi-factor authentication or using equivalent compensating controls. We therefore have every reason to believe our Security Program is reasonable and appropriate for our business and the nature of foreseeable risks to the personal information we collect. We further periodically review and update our Security Program, including as required by applicable law.
Our Incident Response and Management Plan
Despite the significant investment we’ve made in, and our commitment to, the Security Program including enforcement of our third party oversight procedures, we cannot guarantee that your personal information, whether during transmission or while stored on our systems, otherwise in our care, or the care of our vendors and business partners, will be free from either failed or successful attempts at unauthorized access or that loss or destruction will never occur. Except for our duty to maintain the Security Program under applicable law, we therefore necessarily disclaim, to the maximum extent the law allows, any other liability for any such theft or loss of, unauthorized access or damage to, or interception of any data or communications including personal information.
- All that said, as part of our Security Program, we have specific incident response and management procedures that are activated whenever we become aware that your personal information was likely to have been compromised. Those procedures include mechanisms to provide, when circumstances and/or our legal obligations warrant, notice to all affected data subjects within the timeframes required by law, as well as to give them such other mitigation and protection services (such as the credit monitoring and ID theft insurance) as may be required by applicable law. We further require, as part of our vendor and business partner oversight procedures, that such parties notify us immediately if they have any reason to believe that an incident adversely affecting personal information we provided to them has occurred.
YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS
If we are using your personal information to send you marketing materials, such as product alerts via text or email, you may opt out by contacting us using the contact information below. When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists, but it may take time to do so. You may still receive materials for a period of time after you opt out. In addition to opting out, you have the ability to access, amend and delete your personal information by contacting us using the contact information below. Opting out of or changing affinity actions or other submissions or requests made on our third party social media platform, will likely require that you do so directly on that platform as we do not control their procedures.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not specifically respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Third Party Pixels and Cookies
When you visit our website, log in, register or open an email, cookies, ad beacons, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Federal law imposes special restrictions and obligations on commercial website operators who direct their operations toward, and collect and use information from children under the age of 13. We take those age-related requirements very seriously, and, consistent with them, do not intend for our online and mobile resources to be used by children under the age of 18, and certainly not by anyone under the age of 13. Moreover, we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. If we become aware that anyone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information to us via our online and mobile resources, we will delete that information and not use it for any purpose whatsoever. We encourage parents and legal guardians to talk with their children about the potential risks of providing personal information over the Internet.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT
We reserve the right to change or update this statement from time to time. Please check our online and mobile resources periodically for such changes since all information collected is subject to the statement in place at that time. Typically, we will indicate the effective/amendment date at the beginning of this statement. If we feel it is appropriate, or if the law requires, we’ll also provide a summary of changes we’ve made near the end of the new statement.
