Who We Share Information With

We share your information as described below:

• Authorized service providers. We employ other companies to perform functions on our behalf. These other companies help us by fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, analyzing traffic on our websites, providing marketing assistance, providing surveys about our products and services, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, assessing risk, automating decisions, and preventing fraud, and providing customer service. These companies have access to your information only as needed to perform their functions, but they are not permitted to use it for other purposes. We share account information and payment information with these service providers. We may also share information about your customer experience with service providers who help us work to improve your experience. We may provide location information and Internet activity information to service providers in certain circumstances.
• Social networks. We share Internet activity data with social networks when we advertise through their platforms.
• Data partners. In the United States, we participate in cooperative data sharing programs for marketing purposes, where participants provide customer contact information for U.S. customers and purchase history information to the program vendor. We provide account information and Internet activity information to these data partners. This sharing allows participants to identify and segment persons who may be interested in the participants' products and services in order to target such persons with relevant marketing. In connection with our participation in these programs, we share U.S. customers' names, physical addresses, aggregate transaction information, and purchase history information with other companies for their marketing purposes. (We do not generally share names and addresses with social networks.) If you are a U.S. customer and you do not wish to have your name, physical address, transaction or purchase history information disclosed or used through these cooperative programs, you may choose to not participate and can let us know by contacting us via the methods set forth on https://www.burton.com/us/en/contact-us.
• Burton companies. We share your information with our affiliate companies in order to perform our contract with you, including the provision of our products and services. We share all categories of information freely with our affiliated companies.
• Law enforcement agencies, governmental authorities or regulators. We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of burton.com, our users, or others. Typically, government authorities request account information, but we share any information required by valid legal process.
• Credit reference and fraud prevention agencies. We exchange information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We share account information, including payment information and sometimes Internet activity information with these companies.
• Organizations in connection with a business transfer. We will release information if we are acquired by or merged with another company, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Otherwise, we will keep the information we hold about you for as long as we believe is necessary to provide you the products, information and services you requested or as reasonably use for commercial purposes unless you tell us you want us to stop holding the information. We retain behavior information collected through Google Analytics for a period of 50 months and delete such information at the end of this period.
