Privacy Policy

At The 72, you can rest assured that your personal information will never be rented, sold, or otherwise shared with any third party. Of course, this excludes the sharing of your shipping address with one of our shipping providers, UPS, FedEx, or USPS, in order to ship you your shirt. This also excludes the transmitting of your credit card information (fully encrypted) to our credit card processor, Authorize.net, in order to process your payment. These two exceptions are completely normal and necessary for any transaction to take place on any website where a physical product is being sold. In addition, we will never include you on any email newsletter unless you have elected to receive it, nor do we record or store any of your friends’ email addresses that are entered into our “Tell a Friend” fields. What we are trying to say is, your information is safe with us. To find out more about The 72, please go to our service section, or you can contact us here. Also, we highly recommend checking out Today’s Tee before it’s gone! Thanks for stopping by!

4. USES

4.1 The 72 primarily uses your personal information for processing, producing, and shipping the products that you order, administering The 72 forums, and providing customer service and support. For example, if you submit a design to The 72, The 72 may use the information that you provide us to communicate with you and pay you any commissions that you earn. Similarly, if you sign up to receive The 72 newsletters, The 72 will use the email address you provide to send you the newsletters. The 72 does not share your credit card or other account information with unaffiliated third parties unless you authorize us to do so, or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities including, but not limited to, delivering a product or service that you order. The 72 may need to share certain personal information with third party vendors for reasons such as manufacturing, printing, or logistics. The personal information is not provided to these vendors for marketing purposes.

The 72 will never email you directly and ask for these details unless you have requested help or support.

4.4 Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal information frequently involves the transmission of data on an international basis.

For example, if you submit a design to The 72, The 72 may disclose your information to a third party that alleges that you have infringed their intellectual property rights. Similarly, if you allege that an independent designer is infringing upon your intellectual property rights, we may disclose your information to that designer.

Accordingly, The 72 may need to share personal information with these partners so that the partners can provide the services in question. The 72 will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such partners from disclosing your personal information, except for the purpose of providing the services in question. The 72 cannot guarantee that such partners will not disclose your personal information.

5.5 The 72 also uses third party vendors to display relevant ads for The 72 at locations away from the The 72 website on the Internet. These vendors may collect anonymous information about your visits to the The 72 website, and your interaction with our products and services.

Some of these vendors use cookies and/or web beacons to collect anonymous information and to display ads based on your previous visits to the The 72 site. You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

5.6 In the event The 72 goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale, your personal information will likely be among the assets transferred to a successor-in-interest. The 72 reserves the right to transfer any personal and non-personal information to such successor-in-interest.

SSL Internet connections are encrypted, and may protect credit card ordering information, including your name, address, and credit card number, so it cannot be read in transit.
