This policy also describes how we use Personal Data, with whom we share it, your rights and choices, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. This policy does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services, even if they link to our Services or Sites, and you should consider the privacy practices of those third-parties carefully.

If you are a User, we may receive financial and personal information about you, such as your date of birth and government identifiers associated with you.
If you are a Customer, when you make payments, we will receive your transaction information. The information that we collect will include payment method information, purchase amount, date of purchase, and payment method. Different payment methods may require the collection of different categories of information.

3. How We Use Personal Data
a. Our products and services.
We may use information about you for various purposes, including to:
- Develop, operate, and improve our products and services;
- Provide and deliver the products and services you request, process transactions, and send you related information, such as confirmations, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests and provide customer service and technical support;
- Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our products and services;
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities and protect the rights and property of Beatgun and others;
- Link or combine with information we get from others to help understand your needs and provide you with better service; and
- Carry out any other purpose conveyed to you at the time the information was collected.
b. Marketing and events-related communications.
We may send you email marketing communications about Beatgun products and services, invite you to participate in our events or surveys, or otherwise communicate with you for marketing purposes, provided that we do so in accordance with the consent requirements that are imposed by applicable law.
c. Interest-based advertising.
When you visit our Sites or online services, both we and certain third parties collect information about your online activities over time and across different sites to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests (this type of advertising is called "interest-based advertising"). These third parties may place or recognize a unique cookie or other technology on your browser (including the use of pixel tags). Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent prior to processing of your information for the purpose of interest-based advertising.
You may see our ads on other websites or mobile apps because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users based on a range of factors, including demographic data, users' inferred interests and browsing context (for example, the time and date of your visit to our Sites, the pages that you viewed, and the links that you clicked on). This technology also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and understand if you have seen one of our advertisements.
We work with Google AdWords and other advertising networks. To learn how to opt out of behavioral advertising delivered by Network Advertising Initiative member companies, please visit the Network Advertising Initative and Digital Advertising Alliance. If you opt out from interest-based advertising, you may see advertising that is not relevant to you. At present, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not respond to them.
