PRIVACY STATEMENT

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, email address, and more.

We may also use your information to send you marketing communications about our products, services, and promotions.

Additionally, your anonymized eligibility details such as income, household size, and ethnicity may be included in our overall data and shared in documents such as impact reports or fundraising/marketing materials.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

If you make a purchase through a partner’s unique pcsrefurbished.com link, that partner will also have access to your name, email address, phone number, address, purchase history, internet subscription, and device details.

SECTION 2 - Your Right to Modify and Review

By providing us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you are implicitly consenting to our collection and use of that information solely for the specific purpose for which it was provided.

When you complete your order, you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy, and you are giving consent for us to use your information for the purposes included here.

You have the right to modify, review, or opt-out of our use of your information.

You can:

  • Review the personal information we have about you or request a copy of it
  • Ask us to update or correct personal information if it is inaccurate
  • Object to certain types of uses of your personal information
  • Make choices about receiving email marketing

Please note that if you request we delete or stop using your personal information, we may not be able to honor that request if the information is required to process your payments or returns, fulfill your order, or comply with tax, audit, or regulatory requirements.

If you would like to review, modify, or opt-out of our use of your information, please contact us at sales@pcsforpeople.org or mail your request to PCs for People 2492 Doswell Ave., St. Paul, MN 55108.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHARING

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. This may include sharing eligibility documents with our internet provider and Microsoft for auditing and compliance purposes.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Please keep in mind that some service providers may operate in a different jurisdiction than you or us. If you choose to engage in a transaction with a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
