- Recognize you as a RFID Guys customer;

- Customize RFID Guys services, content, and advertising;
- Measure promotional effectiveness; and
- Collect information about your computer or other access device to mitigate risk, help prevent fraud, and promote trust and safety.

Persistent cookies remain on your browser until you erase them or they expire. We may also use Local Shared Objects, commonly referred to as “Flash cookies,” to help ensure that your account security is not compromised, to spot irregularities in behavior to help prevent fraud, and to support our sites and services.
We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser or browser add-on permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of RFID Guys and all of RFID Guys’s features. The help section of most browsers or browser add-ons provides instructions on blocking, deleting, or disabling cookies.
You may encounter RFID Guys cookies or pixel tags on websites that we do not control.

HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Throughout this policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and may be used to identify that person. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that has been anonymized such that it does not and cannot be used to identify a specific person. RFID Guys takes reasonable precautions and follows generally accepted industry practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
We store and process your personal and transactional information, including certain payment information, where RFID Guys facilities or our service providers are located, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable laws. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities. Full credit card data is securely transferred and hosted off-site by a payment vendor in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). This information is not accessible to RFID Guys staff.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHER PARTIES
We may share your personal information with:
- Third party identity verification services in order to prevent fraud. This allows RFID Guys to confirm your identity by comparing the information you provide us to public records and other third-party databases. These service providers may create derivative data based on your personal information that can be used solely in connection with provision of identity verification and fraud prevention services;
- Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations such as bill collection, marketing, and technology services. Our contracts require these service providers to only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us, and prohibit them from selling your information to anyone else;
- Financial institutions with which we partner;
- Companies or other entities that we plan to merge with or be acquired by. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. You will receive prior notice of any change in applicable policy;
- Companies or other entities that purchase RFID Guys assets pursuant to a court-approved sale under bankruptcy law;
- Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when:
- We are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure; or
- We believe in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity; and
- Other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.
Before RFID Guys shares your information with any third party that is not acting as an agent to perform tasks on behalf of and under the instructions of RFID Guys, RFID Guys will enter into a written agreement requiring that third party to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required under this Privacy Policy.
