3. Categories of Sources of Collection

We generally collect Personal Information from the following three categories of sources: (1) you provide Personal Information directly to us, (2) we automatically collect Personal Information from you when you use our Sites (e.g. cookies), or (3) we receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources (e.g. from public sources).  The chart above describes in more detail the categories of sources from which we collect Personal Information.


SOURCE 1: We Collect Personal Information You Provide.

We collect Personal Information that you provide directly to us. Personal Information is required to use certain features available through the Sites, for example, to contact us via email or telephone, to create online accounts, to purchase and rate Prang art products through the Sites, and respond to communications from us (e.g., promotional offers).

Prang Account. When you create an account through our Sites, we collect your contact information (e.g. name, address, phone number, email address). You are also required to choose a password which you should keep confidential.

When You Make a Purchase. When you make a purchase online for Prang art products available through the Sites, we use a PCI-compliant payment processor (“Payment Processor“) to help us facilitate payment. We have contracted with the Payment Processor to ensure they protect and limit the use of your Personal Information. We currently use Stripe as our payment processor to complete transactions. Please see Stripe’s Privacy Policy to learn how they treat your Personal Information when you make a purchase. We do not receive your credit card, debit card or other financial information when you make a purchase online, which information is provided directly to our Payment Processor. However, we do receive your contact information and purchase information.  We will keep a record of your purchases.

Recycling Program. To recycle your Prang art supplies and writing instruments, you will be redirected from our Sites to a website operated by our service provider TerraCycle. You may be required to create an account with that service provider. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policy posted on that service provider’s website since this Privacy Policy does not govern your use of that website.

Sweepstakes & Contests. We may offer sweepstakes or contests. To participate, you must submit certain information, which may include your name, email, organization name and type, phone number, physical address, and other Personal Information. Information collected via sweepstakes and contests will be (i) used to contact you with promotional and related communications, (ii) shared with our third-party vendors or service providers, and (iii) subject to additional terms provided to you at such time.

Product Reviews. We offer the ability to submit reviews for certain Prang art products through our Sites. To submit such reviews, you may be required to submit certain information, which may include your name, age, location, email, gender, and other Personal Information.

Marketing Communications. We may use your email and mailing address to send you promotional and other electronic and hardcopy communications. We may use third-parties or service providers to deliver these communications to you. To opt-out of such communications (e.g., postal marketing and telemarketing), please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of other, non-marketing communications from us.

Feedback. When you provide comments or feedback about our Sites or our products (“Feedback”), we will not treat that Feedback as confidential and we may use that Feedback for any purpose in our sole discretion so long as it does not personally identify you. Feedback will be used without attribution or compensation to you.

SOURCE 2: We Collect Personal Information Automatically.

Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies.

What types of online tracking mechanisms do we use? We may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and other tracking technologies (collectively “Cookies”) on our Sites.

What are cookies and web beacons / pixel tags? A cookie is a small text file that our Sites save onto your computer or device when you use the Sites that provides us certain information about your activities. Cookies allow the Sites to remember your actions and preferences and recognize you or your browser, along with some information you provided. Web beacons / pixel tags are small graphics on a webpage that monitor your activity when viewing a webpage.

Why do we collect Cookies? We use Cookies to:

  • make our Sites function properly;
  • provide personalized experiences;
  • tailor our interactions with you;
  • help with our marketing efforts;
  • provide us with valuable data and statistics about the usage and effectiveness of our Sites and to help us improve our Sites; and
  • help us improve our services.

What type of information do Cookies collect? The Cookies on our Sites may collect information such as:

  • IP addresses assigned to the computers and other devices you use;
  • your internet service provider;
  • device ID number;
  • approximate geographic location (e.g., zip code);
  • browser type;
  • Sites pages visited;
  • websites you access before and after visiting the Sites; and
  • data related to how and when you use the Sites.

We may combine information from Cookies with other Personal Information.

How long do Cookies last? A Cookie can either be a “session” Cookie or a “persistent” Cookie. Session Cookies exist only for so long as you are visiting the applicable Sites and are typically deleted when you exit your web browser.  Persistent Cookies exist for a set period of time, for example, up to several months or years.  Each time you visit one of our Sites that has implemented a persistent Cookie, the persistent Cookie is renewed and that Cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date.  You can manually delete persistent Cookies through your browser settings.

First and Third-party Cookies. Cookies may either be “first-party” or “third-party” Cookies. A first-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to the actual Sites that you are visiting (i.e. the Sites). A third-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to a third-party website, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider. We may not have control over how a third-party uses information collected through third-party Cookies.

How do you manage Cookies or opt-out? Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can disable this function by changing your browser settings, but disabling cookies may impact your use and enjoyment of the Sites. Not all features or functions of the Sites may work properly if you disable Cookies. You cannot disable all Cookies, such as Cookies that are essential to the functioning of the Sites.

Google Analytics.  We use Google Analytics to collect and process information about your use of the Sites. Google sets cookies on your browser or device, and then your web browser will automatically send information to Google. Google uses this information to provide us with reports that we use to better understand and measure how users interact with our Sites.

To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools.
