RetailWire is supported by way of B2B advertising and marketing. RW collects personally identifiable information (PII) for our sponsors and for our own marketing and other services. PII is defined as information that could be used on its own to directly identify, contact, or precisely locate an individual. We gather PII for this purpose through the submission of various forms on retailwire.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RW also collects and processes non PII data through the use of cookies and other site analytics such as Google Analytics, which is not specifically identifiable to any person, but is collected for the purpose of user convenience, site performance metrics, analytics, and demographics. See your browser preferences for the management of cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do not sell any data, PII or non PII, individually or as part of a list to any other 3rd party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do not share your PII for any purpose other than for which you submitted your PII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We share your data with select employees of the sponsor on whose behalf we collect it, for the purpose it was collected. We share general, aggregated demographic information such as company name, job title, and company size with our sponsors and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RW shares personally identifiable data with only those third party clients and services you opt into, but will share general demographic data, like job title, company, company size, and other such personally non-identifiable data, when doing our own prospecting and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may withdraw your consent for any future contacts from us at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided on our newsletters and\/or by contacting us at info@retailwire.com, using our contact form or the phone number given on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By those means, you can also request to see what data we have about you, and receive it in a digitally portable spreadsheet, change\/correct any data we have about you, have us delete any data we have about you, and express any concern you have about our use of your data.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8f73d2-0b\"><strong>Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We take precautions to protect your information.

You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for &#8220;https&#8221; at the beginning of the address of the Web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.
