We, Tangelos, provide this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that we receive through our Site. The Privacy Policy is referenced by our Terms of Service . The terms "Tangelos," "we," and "us" include Tangelos, Pvt, and our affiliates and subsidiaries.

The Privacy Policy explains our online and offline information practices, the kinds of information we may collect, how we intend to use and share that information, and how you can opt out of use or correct or change such information. Unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalised terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.

Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.tangelos.co.uk.

Personal Information We Collect

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your use of the Services (including your Account if you are an Account holder), and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services.

The categories of personal information we collect depend on whether you are a customer, user, applicant, or visitor, and the requirements of applicable law.

Information You Provide to Us

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

Account Creation: When you create a user account, we may collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, and password, as well as other optional information you may provide like the type of items you prefer.

Shopping with Us: We may collect Personal Information from you to improve your in-store shopping experience, including collecting your phone number to provide real-time order updates and shipping notifications.

Your Communications with Us: We collect personal information from you, such as email address, phone number, or mailing address when you request information about our Services, register for our newsletter or loyalty program, request customer or technical support, apply for a job, or otherwise communicate with us.

Surveys: We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information, which may include personal information.

Social Media Content and Reviews: We may offer forums, blogs, or social media pages, including for you to review your Tangelos purchases. Any content you provide on these channels will be considered “public” and is not subject to privacy protections.

Registration for Sweepstakes or Contests: We may run sweepstakes and contests. Contact information you provide may be used to reach you about the sweepstakes or contest and for other promotional, marketing, and business purposes, if permitted by law. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of winners.

Information Collected Automatically or From Others

Automatic Data Collection: We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Services. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising, and other unique identifiers, details about your browser, operating system, or device, location information, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before, during, and after using the Services, information about the links you click, and other information about how you use the Services. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices. In addition, we may automatically collect data regarding your use of our Services, such as the types of content you interact with and the frequency and duration of your activities. We may combine your information with information that other people provide when they use our Services, including information about you when they tag you.

Cookies, Pixel Tags / Web Beacons, Analytics Information, and Interest-Based Advertising Technologies: We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services. Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.

Cookies: Cookies are small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies. However, if you do that, the Services may not work properly.

Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement.

Analytics: We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organisations to supplement information provided by you. For example, if you access our Services through a third-party application, such as an app store, a third-party login service, or a social networking site, we may collect information about you from that third-party application that you have made public via your privacy settings. Information we collect through these services may include your name, your user identification number, your username, location, gender, birth date, email, profile picture, and your contacts stored in that service. This supplemental information allows us to verify information that you have provided to us and to enhance our ability to provide you with information about our business, products, and Services. Interest-Based Advertising Technologies: We may use interest-based advertising technologies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests. These technologies track your browsing history and interests across the web. You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page.
