When you use or interact with the Site, our web servers may automatically recognize and collect certain information, that could be considered personally identifiable information (PII), such as the web address from which you came, internet protocol (IP) address, the type of browser/device/hardware that you are using, cookie preferences, search terms and similar technical data. We use this information in the aggregate, to measure overall Site usage patterns and trends.

  • Automatically collected information: We, and certain service providers and other third-parties acting on our behalf, use cookies, web beacons, Flash cookies (also known as local shared objects) and other technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to receive and store certain types of information whenever you use or interact with the Site. This information may include the pages you visit on our Site, the web address from which you came, the type of browser/device/hardware you are using, items considered, search history, Internet protocol (IP) address, search terms and mobile geographic location. This information helps us to recognize you, customize your website experience and make our marketing messages more relevant. Cookies enable us to enhance the user experience on the Site by providing features, including Site customization. In addition, we use Cookies for reporting and analysis purposes (such as how you are using our website, the performance of our marketing efforts and your response to those marketing efforts). Cookies may also be used in connection with our content appearing on other websites or mobile applications.
  • Information from Third Parties: We also obtain Personal Information from third parties. For example, portions of the Site may include features or widgets from various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr and YouTube (each, a “Social Media Platform”), and we may enable you to access the Site through a Social Media Platform. These features use Cookies to collect information about your IP address and the pages on our Site that you have visited. Your interactions with those features are governed by the terms of use and privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

We may also receive information about your mobile device itself, including your device’s unique identifier. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services and other services, such as advertising, search results and other personalized content.

5. HOW HANESBRANDS PROTECTS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Information. However, no website, database, or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” As such, you are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

Phishing attacks attempt to steal consumers’ Personal Information and financial account credentials. “Phishers” use “spoofed” e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging Personal Information such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers.

WE DO NOT SEND E-MAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM SUCH EXAMPLES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such e-mail communication, please forward it immediately to consumer.privacy@hanes.com and then immediately delete the fraudulent e-mail from your computer.

6. HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES

HanesBrands respects your privacy and, accordingly, shares Personal Information with third parties in a limited number of circumstances:

  • Affiliates: We may share your Personal Information within the HanesBrands family of companies for marketing and/or other administrative purposes.
  • Third-Parties: We may contract with other companies to provide certain services to us, including market research, database management, and advertising and promotion management. These third-party service providers may have access to Personal Information or non-Personal Information in order to perform their functions, but they may not use this information for other purposes. These companies are prohibited from using your Personal Information for their own marketing purposes or from sharing this information with others, but we cannot guarantee security of Personal Information and are not liable for misuse of it by others.

We also use third-party service providers to serve advertisements (such as banners, links, etc.) on our behalf, whether displayed on the Site or elsewhere on the Internet.

Such non-identifiable information does not include your name, address, e-mail address, or other Personal Information. In addition to the information about your visits to the Site, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us. In addition to the information about your visits to the Site, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us.

We also may retain a copy of such transferred consumer information.
