Geek Store collects "Personal Data" and "Non-personal Data" from you when you choose to share it with us. Geek Store keeps this information completely confidential, and does not share any information submitted for the affiliate program.
Personal Data. Personal Data is information that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. Person Data is required when you use register or create an account; set up a "wish list"; purchase products; request information from us; sign up for emails; enter a contest, sweepstakes or other promotion; fill out a survey; request customer support; receive a gift or shipment from someone who sent it to you via our website; or otherwise communicate with or contact us. We may also connect Personal Data you provide by interacting with us through social media or other forums.
Keep in mind: any comments or reviews that you provide are accessible to all users of the relevant platform and may be visible to others or collected by third-parties, so you should use discretion when posting information and you should not post personal information. If you do post personal information, you do so at your own risk.
"Non-personal Data" means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal profile; and does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We may use a variety of technologies such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, or other technologies to collect Non-Personal about visitors to, and users of, our website and interactions with our emails and online and mobile advertisements, and to allow us to keep track of analytics and certain statistical information. This may include:
