Privacy Policy

Last Reviewed: July 1, 2022,
We last updated our Privacy Policy on July 1, 2021. These updates included:

• Clarifying our practices with regard to sharing information outside of the company
• Updating the description of rights available to California consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act

This Privacy Policy explains how Bonobos collects, uses, and shares your personal information. Personal information is information that identifies you or reasonably can be linked to information that identifies you. (Some laws define "personal information" differently, and we use those definitions when they are applicable. Rest assured, though, that no matter where you live, we treat your personal information with respect, and we collect, use, and share it only as described in this Policy.)

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit our website, mobile app, official social media sites, or other online properties, (collectively "Sites"), and at our Guideshop locations in person. Bonobos recognizes that you care about how your information is used, and your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains the choices you can make about what information we share. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We ask that you read this Privacy Policy from time to time. Bonobos may modify this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that increase our rights to use personal information that we have previously collected about you, we will notify you either through an email to your registered email address or by prominent posting on the Sites and, where appropriate, we will obtain consent from you either through email or the Sites.

We also collect personal information when you make an appointment to visit, or visit us in person at, one of our Guideshop locations.

If you make a purchase through our Sites, our third-party payment processor service providers may also collect billing information, such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, credit card or debit card number, and billing and shipping addresses. If you make a purchase over the phone, we will collect this personal information and share it with our third-party payment processor service providers.

We may associate personal information you provide to us across our Sites with personal information that you provide to us in person in our Guideshop locations.

Information We Collect from a Device Associated with You or Your Household: We may automatically collect personal information from your use of our mobile app and devices that you use to interact with our app and Sites, as well as from your interaction with emails that we send to you. The personal information we automatically collect may include your geolocation and other data, including your IP address, browser type, device type, the webpage you visited before coming to our Site, pages you visited on our Sites, time spent on those pages, information you searched for on the Sites, when and for how long you visited the Sites, and similar information, which we collect through cookies, beacons, and other technologies. The information we automatically collect will be associated with any personal information that you have provided to us.

We may use this information to provide you location-based advertisements and social media posts. We may also use this personal information for analytics purposes. You may be able to discontinue our collection of geolocation information by our app by changing the app's settings or the location settings on your mobile device.

Information We Collect Through In-Store Technology: We may collect your personal information from technology we use in our stores, such as our facility cameras. We operate cameras in store for security and operational purposes, for example, to help us improve the design of our stores to better serve our customers.

Information We Collect from Another Company within Our Family of Companies: We may collect your personal information from another organization within our corporate family of companies, such as with Walmart or Sam’s Club.

Information We Receive From External Third-Party Sources: We receive personal information about you from other sources to help us correct or supplement our records, improve the quality or personalization of our service to you, prevent or detect fraud, and for other business purposes.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We use your personal information to provide you products and services, such as to fulfill your requests for products or to help us personalize our services and marketing to you.

WHEN WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are careful to share your personal information in ways that respect your privacy and only as described in this Policy. We view you as a valued customer, not a product, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to others for money.

We may share your personal information with other brands and businesses within the Walmart corporate family. When we do, the information will be used in ways that are consistent with this Policy.

All of the categories of personal information that we collect have been shared with other companies, including those within our corporate family, for a business purpose. We also may share your personal information with service providers who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you including, for example, providing our products and services, providing site operations and maintenance services, providing database management, processing your purchases, administering surveys or contests, or communicating with you.

We may share your personal information with other third parties, including law enforcement authorities, when we determine that doing so is appropriate to:

• enforce our Terms of Service;
• protect our property, services, and legal rights;
• prevent physical harm to persons or the property of others;
• prevent fraud or other illegal activity against Bonobos and others;
• support auditing, compliance, and corporate governance functions;
• comply with subpoenas, court orders, or similar legal processes, including to law enforcement agencies, regulators and courts; or
• comply with any and all applicable laws.

Aggregated, Non-Identifying Information: Bonobos may share aggregated information that is not individually identifiable (or personal information) with third parties for industry analysis, demographic analysis, and targeted ad delivery.

Finally, we may provide your personal information to third parties for these third parties' own marketing and other business purposes. You may opt out of our continuing to share your information for these purposes by contacting us at privacy@bonobos.com .

We may share your personal information with certain categories of third parties, as described below.

HOW BONOBOS USES COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

When you visit our Sites, Bonobos may place pieces of code, commonly referred to as "cookies," or similar technology on your devices. Bonobos may begin collecting information about you or your activity on devices associated with you through cookies or similar technologies as soon as you visit our Sites. We use advertising identifiers similar to cookies in our mobile applications. By using our Sites, you permit Bonobos to collect and use your personal information from activity on devices associated with you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Bonobos uses cookies for a number of purposes: First, we use persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to our Sites and to collect and analyze information about your online activity to help us improve our services. Second, we use session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Sites to better understand how you interact with the Sites, and to monitor aggregate use of our Sites by Bonobos users. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off of the Sites and close your browser.

We also may use "pixel tags," "web beacons," and other technologies on our Sites to collect usage, demographic, and geographic location data, which allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Sites, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.

Some internet browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome) offer their own opt outs for interest-based advertising. The ad networks and ad service providers we participate with may not recognize these opt outs. Information about how to opt out of certain online interest-based advertising is discussed in the next section of this Privacy Policy.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISEMENTS

Third parties, including advertisers, may collect information, potentially including personal information, about your activities over time and across different websites when you use the Sites. Those third parties may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, mobile application advertising identifiers and other technologies. Those third parties may also provide Bonobos with information and reports about data collection, ad response measurement, analytical information, and assist with delivery of relevant marketing messages and advertisements.

Collection of your information by third parties is not governed by this Privacy Policy. Many third-party advertisers and some web browsers and mobile devices allow you to opt out of third-party advertising. Information and resources regarding how to opt out of interest-based advertising are available from the Digital Advertising Alliance at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

HOW TO MODIFY OR DELETE PERSONAL INFORMATION

You can request that we review, modify, and delete your personal account information by contacting us or by making edits via the "My Accounts" section of the Sites. If you request that we delete your personal information, your account may become deactivated. If you would like us to modify or delete your account information, please contact us at privacy@bonobos.com with a request that we delete your personal information from our database. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request. We may retain an archived copy of your records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

HOW BONOBOS PROTECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION

Bonobos has implemented an information security program that includes administrative, technical and physical controls reasonably designed to safeguard your personal information.

BUSINESS TRANSFERS AND CORPORATE CHANGES

We reserve the right to disclose, sell, or transfer all information related to the Sites, including personal information:

• to a subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of one or more of the Sites; or
• in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, or restructuring; the sale of substantially all of our stock and/or assets; or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.

INFORMATION WE TRANSFER

The Sites to which this Privacy Policy applies are subject to U.S. law, unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy. By using the Sites or providing us with your information, you are directly transferring your information to us in the United States. In addition, we may transfer the information that we collect through the Sites to other countries where we do business. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you reside. When we transfer personal information we collect about you to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy, even though a given country may not have the same privacy and data protection laws as the country in which you reside. You agree to and acknowledge our collection, transfer, and processing of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Sites are general audience sites not directed at children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that any information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that information.

Once we receive a request, we will delete the personal information (to the extent required by law) we hold about you as of the date of your request from our records and direct any service providers to do the same.

Choosing to delete your personal information may impact your ability to use our websites and online features, including closure of your online account, and limit your use of in-store functions that require your personal information.
3. Stop Selling My Personal Information: We share personal information within our Walmart family of companies and with certain third parties in a way that may be considered a “sale” under California law.

We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age. If you are a California resident, you have a right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.

Verifying Your Identity for Requests to Access or Delete Personal Information: We take the privacy of your personal information seriously and want to ensure that we provide only you or your authorized agent with your personal information. The CCPA also requires that we verify the identity of each person who makes a request to know what personal information we have about you or to delete the personal information we have about you.

What personal information do I provide to verify my identity?

To verify your identity, we ask you to provide your:

• First name*
• Last name*
• Middle initial
• Email address*
• Phone number
• Address*
• *required field

How do you verify my identity? We may verify your identity in a few different ways. We’ve partnered with a third party identification service to help us verify your identity and prevent fraudulent requests. When you make your request, you will be asked to answer a few questions about yourself to help us validate your identity. If you have an online account, we may ask you to log into your account and complete a one-time passcode validation.

In some instances, we may ask you to provide other documentation to verify your identity. If this happens, we will reach out to you directly with this request.

What if you can’t verify my identity? If we can’t verify your identity, we will not be able to process your request to know what personal information we have about you or to delete the personal information we have about you. If we are unable to verify your identity with a high degree of certainty, we will only be able to provide a report with category-level information and we may not be able to delete some of your information.

How to Submit a Request Using an Authorized Agent: An authorized agent is a person or business who has authorization to request to know what personal information we have about you, to delete the personal information we have about you, or to opt out of the sale of personal information on behalf of a California resident. Authorized agents use the same links described above to submit requests. If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, we require a valid power of attorney or other documentation demonstrating your authority to submit this request. This can be a letter or other documentation signed by the California resident authorizing you to submit this request. You can download a sample letter from the request form.

How do I send you my documentation? If you submit a request on our website, you will be asked to upload this documentation when you submit your request. If you submit your request over the phone, you will be asked to email your forms to consumerprivacy@wal-mart.com. Please note, you will have 10 business days to provide all required documentation.
