Third-Party Links
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, Sympaticocious may link to websites operated by third parties.

These linked websites are only for your convenience and, therefore, you access them at your own risk. Nonetheless, Sympaticocious seeks to protect the integrity of its website and the links placed upon it and, therefore, requests any feedback on not only its website but for websites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work).
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from Sympaticocious.com (the “website”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Additionally, as you browse the website, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the website, and information about how you interact with the website. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information”.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to purchase through the website, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers) email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”. The website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via email or SMS (if you have opted in).

These third-party service providers have access to your Personal Information only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf, and are expressly obligated not to disclose or use your Personal Information for any other purpose.

– When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our website (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the website, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
