We collect information to provide and offer products and services to you and to customize the content that you view on this Site. We may use service providers (“Service Providers”) to assist us in this tracking and/or marketing.

Third-Party Tracking. We (or our agent) may engage Service Providers (“Advertisers”) to advertise our products and services to you in a more customized fashion by allowing these Advertisers to track your activity on this Site (“Third-Party Tracking”) or by sharing your information with them solely for these purposes. We require our Service Providers to limit their use and disclosure of your personal information to providing ad services on our behalf. Such services may include serving customized ads or marketing offers to you on other websites or via other channels and measuring the success of this advertising. This type of advertising is often referred to as “interest-based advertising.” We may or may not have direct access to your personal information if it is collected directly by Advertisers.

Tracking Technologies. Site activity tracking may be accomplished through a variety of technologies, such as persistent and session cookies, pixel tags (web beacons and clear GIFs/image pixels), and other similar technologies.

Cookies. Cookies are files that websites and email services may send to your computer or device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. They allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. To learn more about our use of Cookies, visit our Cookies Notice page.

Pixels. Pixels are web tags placed on web site pages to track visitor behavior. Conversion pixels (web tags) are small pieces of JavaScript code that track visits to specific web site pages that confirm your application for or purchase of a product or application for or enrollment in a service. We use these to measure the success of various Buckle marketing campaigns or promotions.

Social Media Information. Your interaction with various social media platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Twitter) (“Social Media”) impacts how we and this Site collect information about you.

Our Social Media. When you visit or use our Buckle-branded pages on Social Media, you may send us your information using the Social Media platform (for example, by posting on our page or sending us a direct message). Please do not send us personal information using Social Media. We will never ask you to submit sensitive personal information via Social Media. If you contact us, we may have access to your public profile information. When you “like” or “follow” us on Social Media, we may be able to see your public profile information. If you “tag” friends on our Social Media, we may be able to see their public profile information. The information that you send to us or that may be viewable or collected by us is governed by the Social Media platform’s privacy policy. We do not control the Social Media privacy policies, which may be updated by the Social Media at any time.

Your Social Media. When you have an account with Social Media, the Social Media may collect information about you on Social Media and on this Site using pixels, cookies or other tracking technologies (“Third-Party Tracking”). You may be able to opt out of Third-Party Tracking by Social Media at any time through your Social Media accounts and subject to the Social Media privacy policies. Please see “Third Party Tracking” above for more information about this practice. We may also use your name or contact information to find your public Social Media information to use that for our marketing purposes.

BY VISITING THE WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING US YOUR CONSENT TO TRACK YOUR ACTIVITIES THROUGH USE OF THESE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES.

More About Interest-Based Advertising. We do not sell your personal information to others.

Buckle Advertising. We offer interest-based ads to Members and potential future Members to make sure that our promotions are relevant to you. For example, if you visit the auto insurance pages of this Site, we may use this information to serve auto insurance ads to you elsewhere on the Internet. This helps us offer you competitive terms for products that may be of actual interest to you. We may also share de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated personal information for these purposes. We may serve you interest-based ads on a variety of platforms, such as through direct mail, email, or advanced television channels, as well as Social Media.

Your Choices. Please visit Your Choices page to request changes to your privacy choices. If you are interested in more information about interest-based advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out Link to find out more information and learn how to opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from companies that participate in those programs. We do not control these opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. For mobile devices, there are specific operating system and application controls for opting out of certain types of tracking and/or customized ads. iOS and Android mobile device users, and possibly users of other mobile devices, may control in-application ads by disabling or resetting the mobile device advertiser ID. You can find instructions on how to opt out by visiting the support webpages for those mobile device providers.

Users of other digital services (such as cable and direct TV) may be able to opt-out of interest-based advertising through the provider of the digital service. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of your digital service provider to determine if they engage in interest-based advertising, and, if so, how to opt-out.

Third-Party Information. We may obtain information about you from publicly available sources and from various third parties, such as marketers, researchers, and others for marketing purposes. For instance, we may work with data enhancement companies in order to learn more about our Members (or potential Members) to help target more relevant ads and offers to them. We use this information to offer you customized marketing.

Email and Text Marketing. We may also send you marketing e-mails and texts. If you do not want to receive marketing materials by email or text, please indicate your preference on the contact information for your online account with us. We also provide opt-out information in all marketing e-mail and text messages we send via an “unsubscribe” link. Please note that it may take us some time to process your requests consistent with applicable law. You do not have the ability to opt out of transactional or relationship messages (e.g., billing or account notifications) that we send if you are our Member or if you have engaged in transactions with us or sent inquiries to us.
