Information you give us: Genius Audio collects any information which you enter on our Web site. This information is normally provided when you search, buy, participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or on-line survey, or when you communicate with any of our departments such as customer service, sales or technical services through our Web site, telephone, mail or fax. You also provide information when you establish an account with us. Examples of the type of information you may supply us with include your name, address, telephone number, credit card information, e-mail addresses, and financial information such as your Social Security number.
Automatic Information collected by us: Whenever you visit our Web site we collect and store information such as "cookies" which remember information about a visitor from one page to the next and from one visit to the next. We collect and analyze the IP address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; password; computer and connection information such as your browser type and version; operating system and platform; purchase history; confirmation when you open e-mail that we send you; the URLs which lead you to and around our Web site and other sites on the World Wide Web, including the date and time; the pages and or products you viewed or searched for and the phone number used to call our voice telephone numbers. Your browser allows you to reject cookies and software is available from third parties which will allow you to visit our Web site without providing this information. You are welcomed at our Web site if you use this software, but we will not be able to offer you our personalized services.
Orders: If you place an order, we use a secure order form which requires you to provide contact, billing, and financial information. This information is transmitted to your credit card company to authorize your purchase. We may also share some personally identifiable information such as your name, address, email and/or telephone number with third parties for security check reasons, that attempt to prevent fraudulent or security risks from placing an order. These third parties will use this information solely for that purpose and will not be allowed to use this information to market or sell to you or to share any personally identifiable information with third parties.
Order Status Updates: Signing up for Order Status updates means that Genius Audio will use your mobile phone number to text you update when the status of your order changes. These updates will include, but are not limited to, shipping confirmations and delivery alerts. (Message and data rates may apply.)
Information Shared When You Finance: At certain times we may offer financing options with or without third party participation. If you use a financing option information provided by you (such as your address, birth date, social security number, and credit card number) may be used to request a credit report from third parties or may be sent to a third party for processing.
Action Tags: Genius Audio's web pages may contain action tags set by third party firms for the purpose of collecting anonymous information about the usage of our site by customers. These companies may also use this anonymous information to serve ads that may be of interest to you when you visit other sites across the internet. Action tags are also known as web beacons or 1-pixel gifs. Action tags are a technique used to compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our web site.
California Privacy: Under California law, customers of Genius Audio who are residents of California have certain rights regarding their personal information. This section describes the rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and how to exercise them.
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you:
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
If you are a California resident who wishes to make such a request, please call us toll-free at: 1-954-374-9805 or contact us.
Only you or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. However, you may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may make a verifiable consumer request up to two times within a twelve-month period, without charge. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. We will notify you that we have received your request within 10 days at either an email address which you provide us or which we may have or if you do not have or want to use an email address at any California or other US telephone number that you provide us with.
We try to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension time period (up to 90 days). We will deliver our response by telephone or email, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve-month period preceding receipt. The response we provide will also explain any reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
If you wish to opt–out of the sale of personal information in the future, please ask for NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION by contact us page. If exercised, the decision to opt–out will be valid for 12 months, at which time we may request that you authorize the sale or sharing of personal information again.
