To do so yourself, you may:

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

Security Methods

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal information in our possession. However, no website, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof”. You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

E-mail Safety

An e-mail scam known as “phishing” is designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail that looks like it came from us and it asks you for your personal information (including financial or payment card information,) do not respond to it. We will never request any financial information or other personal information from you through e-mail.

Children’s Personal Information

We recognize the special importance of protecting privacy where children are concerned. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children 13 years of age or younger.

Questions or Concerns

If you have general questions or concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us at: Pebble Technology International Attn: Privacy Officer 15540 N. 77th Street Scottsdale, AZ 85260 CustomerSupport@PebbleTec.com 1-800-937-5058 (U.S. Customers)

CALIFORNIA DISCLOSURES

If you are a California resident and have an established business relationship with us, you can request a notice disclosing the categories of personal information we have shared with third parties, for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, during the preceding calendar year. To request a notice, please submit your request to Pebble Technology International, Attn: Privacy Officer, 15540 N. 77th Street, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. Please allow 30 days for a response. If you provide us with your personal information, Pebble Technology International and other third parties may track your personal information as described in this privacy policy, including your movements on our website, mobile applications and social networks. Such tracking allows us and third party providers to customize your online experience. Neither Pebble Technology International nor its third party providers have a systematic method for ensuring “Do Not Track” functionality in certain browsers can operate to prevent such tracking. You may be able to opt-out of certain kinds of tracking by using the opt-out service at the Network Advertising Initiative at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/#completed.
