Nice to meet you. We’re poppin. For those who care about these kinds of things, our full corporate name is poppin inc., and we are a Delaware corporation.
Thank you for visiting us. We understand that you are mindful of how information about you is used and shared. We’ve put together this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to describe how we collect, use, store, process, and share your information in relation to the Site. By the way, when we use the word “Site,” it’s really shorthand for the Poppin.com web site, our mobile applications, and our Social Media pages that we may use to put all of our great products at your fingertips and that provide your information to us, and which we describe in more detail below.
When you visit or use the Site or place an order, you expressly consent to the collection, use, storage, processing, and disclosure of your information, including personally identifiable information, as described in this Policy. This Policy is part of and incorporated into the Terms of Use governing your use of the Site, so please be sure to review the Terms of Use prior to using the Site. If there is something in this Policy that you don’t agree with, you should not use the Site or place an order.
What information does Poppin collect?
We are fanatically driven to make your experience with us easier and better for you. So, wherever we can, we collect and store information that may make it easier for us to improve the shopping experience, display the product or content in which you are likely to be most interested, and make it easier for you to reorder without having to enter information you have already provided.
The information we collect is related to visiting on our Site and using the Site’s features and falls into three general categories:
- Information and content you provide, including when you use the Site, create an account with us, place an order, or communicate with us
- Information collected automatically via cookies and other technologies
- Information we obtain from other sources.
Information You Provide
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use the Site, create an account, place an order, or communicate with us, such as:
We also collect information you provide to us pursuant to promotional programs, such as contests and information provided at tradeshows.
Content You Provide / Product Reviews
From time to time, you may send us mail or e-mail that gush about our products or services, videos that show how far your packing list can travel in the shape of an airplane, or other content. We will collect and store this information and may use it for promotional purposes if you have agreed to let us do that.
You may choose to submit a product review. If you post a review, we may ask for personal information such as an e-mail address to confirm you are a real person. We will not share with other Site visitors the personal information that you submit as part of the review, but you may share it if you choose to (for example, via social media). We are not responsible for any personal information that you choose to submit as part of the content of your review. We believe you can post a helpful review without disclosing personal information and allow you to create a nickname if you do not want your personal information to be displayed.

These advertisements are delivered by our advertising partners and may be targeted based on your use of the Site or your activity elsewhere online. To learn more about your choices in connection with advertisements, please see the section below titled “Targeted online advertising.”
For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety. We may use your personal information and disclose it to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties as we believe necessary or appropriate to: (a) comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities; (b) protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (c) enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Site; and (d) protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

We may also use this information to operate and improve the website or our services, and as otherwise necessary for compliance, fraud prevention, and safety purposes.
Information Poppin Shares with Others
We share personal information with affiliated entities such as to send you B2B communications and for other purposes described in this Policy, and our service providers, which provide services to us or on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending e-mails, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and processing credit card payments.
We also share information when we believe its release is appropriate and necessary to comply with the law; to government regulators or law enforcement authorities in connection with any judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena or legal process served on us or the Site; to enforce or apply this Policy and the Terms of Use; or to protect the rights, property or safety of Poppin, our employees and users. We may exchange information with other companies or organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
How Does Poppin Protect My Information?
We have implemented a number of security measures to protect your personal information, and we have extra layers of security around your payment information. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. In addition, your account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. It is important that you keep your password to yourself and log off once you have finished using a shared computer so that others can’t access your account.
While we take measures to safeguard your personal information, we cannot ensure that all of your information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Policy. For example, a third party may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or other users of the Site may abuse or misuse your personal information. No transmission of data over the internet can be 100% secure.
If Poppin learns of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps.

Cookies and Browser Web Storage
We may allow service providers and other third parties to use cookies and similar technologies to track your browsing activity over time and across the Site and third party websites. We allow you to adjust your cookie settings via the Cookie Banner on the Site. In case if you don’t see this banner, please clear your browsing history and data and refresh the page.

Targeted Online Advertising
Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on or through the Site may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising.
Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

Sales of Personal Information
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires companies like ours to disclose the personal information we have “sold” over the last year. The CCPA defines “sale,” among others, as making available consumer’s personal information to others for monetary or other valuable consideration. This includes but is not limited to targeted marketing.
Exercising Your California Privacy Rights
The CCPA grants California residents the following rights:
Please note that the CCPA limits these rights by, for example, prohibiting us from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and limiting the circumstances in which we must comply with a deletion request. If we deny your request, we will communicate our decision to you.
We will deliver personal information that we are required by law to disclose to you in the manner required by law within 45 days after receipt of a verifiable request, unless we notify you that we require additional time to respond, in which case we will respond within such additional period of time required by law. We may deliver the personal information to you through your account, if you maintain an account with us, or electronically or by mail, whatever you prefer. If you ask us to send it electronically, we will deliver the information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, in a readily usable format.
Requests to Exercise Your Rights
You may request to exercise the your rights to Information and Deletion by:
You may exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” of personal information by adjusting your Cookie Settings. Please review the details in the Cookies and Browser Web Storage section above.
Please note that we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights, as required or permitted by law. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted by law.
California residents can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on their behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming that authority.
Exceptions
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our provider(s):
Data Sharing for Direct Marketing Purposes
California Civil Code § 1798.83 further permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your personal information with certain of our affiliates and other third parties for their marketing purposes. Please tell us your preference by contacting us at privacy@poppin.com or by submitting a web form here.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Insolvency
We expect to be around for the long haul. With that said, if Poppin should ever file for bankruptcy or engage in a business transition such as a merger with another company, or if Poppin decides to buy, sell or reorganize some part or all of its business, Poppin may disclose your personal information, including to prospective or actual purchasers in connection with one of these transactions.
