Marketing, Advertising, and Analytics Providers

We may use marketing, analytics, and advertising services to understand website performance, measure advertising effectiveness, communicate with customers, and provide relevant advertising.

Depending on applicable law and the technologies we use, certain disclosures associated with advertising may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or processing for targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged.

Where required by applicable law, eligible consumers may opt out of such activities through the privacy controls made available on our website.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, analytics technologies, and similar tools.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Maintain shopping cart functionality
  • Remember preferences
  • Keep the website secure
  • Detect fraud
  • Analyze website traffic
  • Understand customer interactions

Some technologies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be used for analytics, personalization, or advertising.

Where required, we provide privacy controls that allow users to manage certain cookie or data-sharing preferences.

You may also be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website.

6. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some web browsers offer a traditional “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a single universally applied standard for these signals, our website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals in the same manner as legally recognized opt-out preference signals.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems, we process recognized opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control, as required by applicable law.

7. Email Marketing

With your consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may send promotional emails about products, special offers, discounts, company updates, and other marketing information.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the email.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or service-related communications, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, or communications regarding an existing customer service matter.

8. SMS Marketing and Text Messages

When you voluntarily provide your mobile phone number and provide the required consent to receive text messages from Pat’s Herbals, we may send informational and promotional text messages.

Depending on the consent provided and the program you join, messages may include:

  • Interactions with text messages
  • Information reasonably necessary to operate the messaging program

We may disclose information necessary to operate our messaging program to service providers that help us provide and deliver text messages, including messaging technology providers, telecommunications providers, and other vendors involved in operating the SMS program.

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

This limitation does not prevent us from providing information to vendors and service providers that assist us with the operation and delivery of our own messaging program.

Abandoned Cart Messages

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to identify shopping cart activity, including when a cart appears to have been abandoned.

Where a customer has provided appropriate SMS consent, this information may be used to determine when to send a shopping cart reminder message.

SMS Opt-Out

Participation in our marketing SMS program is voluntary.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services from Pat’s Herbals.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS marketing at any time by replying STOP to a text message.

Customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and should contact us if they believe their account or personal information has been compromised.
