To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

By consenting to MUNICIPAL’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of MUNICIPAL through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list.

Data from Automatic Collection Technologies

We use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your interactions with our platforms. We use the following sources:

 


Cookie Collection

When you visit our website, we may send you cookies, which are small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. For example, we use cookies to track what items you look at most on our website. They help us to understand your preferences based on your activity, which allows us to tailor our business to you. A cookie does not collect personal information about you. We use both essential and nonessential cookies. Essential cookies are cookies that strictly provide an online service that you requested. Nonessential cookies are used to analyze behaviors, personalize websites, and direct emails to the user’s interests. We also share information about your use of our website with our social media and advertising partners, and combine it with other information you have provided them with. You consent to our cookies if you continue using our website and do not opt-out. If you would like to opt-out of cookies you can do so by contacting our data controller at privacy@municipal.com.
 



Flash Cookies

Flash cookies are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to playback video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
 
 


Advertising Cookies

MUNICIPAL may collect your email address via cookies and pixels on the website through the use of a third-party partner. They may combine your email information with other information they have access to such as mailing addresses so that we may serve relevant marketing offers to you by email and direct mail. If you do not want MUNICIPAL to collect information about you please email our data controller to opt-out at privacy@municipal.com.
 
 
 

Social and Content Cookies

Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our websites. Please note that some of these third-party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioral advertising, analytics, and/or market research.
 
 
 

Pixel Tracking

In addition to using Cookies, the Website may employ “pixel tracking,” a common process which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A “pixel tag” is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites that are used to track an individual user’s activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our goods, services, and other offers with your interests and needs. For example, if you visit our Website from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Website. If you visit our Website, and we link you to another website, we may also be able to determine that you were sent to and/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research.
 
 
 

Log File Information

Log file information is automatically reported by the browser each time you access a webpage. When you view Municipal.com, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
 
 
 

Web Beacons

A web beacon is a clear picture file used to keep track of your navigation through a single website or a series of websites. No personally identifiable information is collected using these files. We may also use them in emails or newsletters sent to our users to understand what emails are opened by the receiver. The information is used to understand the accuracy of our marketing efforts and make the website more user-friendly for our users.
 
 
 

Your Choices About Your Information

You may, at any time, decline the use of cookies through the website, in which case some MUNICIPAL services or promotions may not be available to you. If at any time you’d like to opt-out of cookie services please email our data controller at privacy@municipal.com.
 


Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

Other than what is described in this Privacy Policy, Municipal Apparel Company does not disclose personal information of its users to any outside parties unless permitted or required to do so by law or subpoena. Without limiting the foregoing, we may disclose personal information (a) to conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our Website or our products and promotions; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Company, its employees, agents or assigns, or others. Please note that we do not consider “outside parties” our subsidiaries and affiliates, contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use in the operation of our website, conducting MUNICIPAL business, or servicing you, so as long as those parties also agree to keep that information confidential.
 
In the future, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings from third parties. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.
 
Except as contemplated in this Privacy Policy, we do not rent or sell your personal information for marketing or sales purposes. We do not share credit card information with third parties except for the purpose of processing your order payment and as required by law.
 
We may make your name and postal address available to other direct marketing companies who may have offers of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, or if you would like to opt-out of Municipal’s discretionary e-mails, please email our data controller privacy@municipal.com with the subject “unsubscribe”.
 


California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The CCPA is a data privacy regulation designed to protect California consumers and to motivate all organizations that deal with California resident information to take their responsibility to safeguard consumer data. Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, if you are a resident of California, you may make a written request to MUNICIPAL about how we have shared your personal customer information with select third parties for their direct marketing purposes.  In response to your written request, MUNICIPAL will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and address.
 
As a resident of California, you have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information to “third parties”. We do not transfer your information to third parties in exchange for money and we will not do so. However, MUNICIPAL does transfer personal information to certain third parties in order to operate our business.
 
As a resident of California, you may request that we provide you for the past 12 months a list of categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories from which it was collected, the business purpose for collecting or “selling” the information, and the categories of “third parties” to whom we disclosed or “sold” that information. You may also request that we provide you in a machine-readable format a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months. You may make a request to know up to two times in a 12-month period, subject to limitations described in the law. For a list of general categories of information that we have collected and shared in the past 12 months, please see the Privacy Policy.
 
You may request that we delete any personal information that we have collected from you. However, the law exempts certain information from deletion. For example, we may keep information necessary for security and fraud detection. We also may keep information needed to provide you goods or services. When we respond to your request to delete, we will explain what (if any) information we have kept and why. Please note that the law does not consider anonymized information to be “personal information,” and we may “delete” your information by anonymizing it.
 
 
 

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is important to MUNICIPAL. For that reason, MUNICIPAL does not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to MUNICIPAL. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.  If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@municipal.com.
