We also may collect your financial information (like your credit card number and billing address) and your contact information (like your email address, phone number and shipping address).
If you respond voluntarily to a competition, survey or other interactive communications, we collect the responses and use the information to improve the quality and range of our own and/or our supplier’s products and services, or for the purposes of meeting any Notebook or Loyalty membership terms and/or competition terms you have first agreed to.
INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES
Information that you give us may be combined with other personally identifiable information (such as order history and demographic information) from third-party sources to make our marketing efforts more efficient. Examples of other information we receive from third-party sources include updated delivery and address information, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or catalog more easily.
USES OF YOUR INFORMATION
Information that you give us may be used for:
Financial information that is collected is used to bill you for products that you request. Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and information about our company to you.
If you register for email or if you provide your email address to us, we will send you emails. These emails will inform you of our launch of new products, of special sales, of promotional offers from our partners, of environmental issues we think are important, and of potential employment opportunities with Gilhooleys that you may find of interest, and of other events taking place in our stores near you.
We use your shipping address to ship your products to you and to send catalogs and other mailings to you. We use your billing address, if different than your shipping address, to verify your billing information. We never share our customer names or addresses, e-mail addresses or other personally identifiable information, other than to the extent described in the “Disclosures of Your Information” section below.
You may opt-out of receiving future mailings or emails from us, see the “How to remove your name from our mailing, sharing or email list” section below.
DISCLOSURES OF YOUR INFORMATION
We do not disclose your personal information to other companies, persons or agencies, except for the purposes described below:
Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform certain services and functions on our behalf. Examples include operating and maintaining our Site, taking orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing consultation and assistance, distributing customer surveys, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies have access to personal information needed to perform their services or functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Affiliates and Partners: Sometimes we may send offers to selected groups of Gilhooleys customers.
For Your Protection and Ours: We may release personally identifiable information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with applicable law regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Gilhooleys, our customers, our employees or others.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Gilhooleys or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Sharing: We may share your name and postal address with other reputable companies so they may send you catalogs about products of potential interest. We do not share credit card information or email address with these third parties.

We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure transferred information is kept secure as required by applicable data privacy laws.
