(b) By using cookies
In addition, we may use "cookies" to collect information about your general internet usage and specific website usage. A summary of the cookies used on this site, with detailed information, can be found here.
Cookies are small text files that websites transfer to your computer's web browser for storage on your computer's hard drive. Cookies also allow us to count the number of unique and repeat visitors to the website. We may use cookies to measure website activity so we can enhance navigation on our website. In addition, cookies on the website may contain information (such as a unique user identifier) ​​that tracks the pages of the website you have visited and the products you have viewed or searched for. This information allows us to make updates to enhance your experience. Finally, we may use cookies to determine your IP address, browser version, number of visits, and similar data relating to your web and website navigation.
Parts of the website will not work if you do not have cookies enabled. You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, you may not be able to use all parts of the website.
There is a notice on our homepage that describes how we use cookies and also provides a link to the policy. If you continue to use this website after seeing this notice, we will assume that you consent to the use of cookies for the purposes described in the policy.

You can object to processing on any of these grounds at any time and if you do, we will stop processing personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your rights and interests or we need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims - see Disclosure of your personal information below.
Disclosure of your personal data

Information about our customers and website visitors is an important part of our business and is not sold to third parties. We only share personal information as follows:
1. Wolverine family companies include subsidiaries and affiliates, their agents and employees, and our trademarks.
2. With our business partners. For example, if you purchase goods through the Site, like any other retailer, we must share credit card information with our credit card processor and authenticator for payment purposes, as well as your name and address with the company that ships our goods. To improve the products and services we offer, we may share personal information with designers, manufacturers, distributors, licensees, marketing and advertising partners, and third parties who provide support services for the Site. In all cases, we limit the information shared with partners and vendors to what is necessary to perform those functions; the data may not be used by them for any other purpose.
3. A third party, such as Facebook or another social networking website with whom you have asked us to share your personal information if you have asked us to connect to your account
4. If we are required to disclose personal information due to laws, enforcement actions or other governmental or regulatory requirements, or if otherwise required or permitted by law in countries where we have subsidiaries
5. To enforce our contractual or proprietary rights or in connection with actual or contemplated legal proceedings, or when necessary to protect our property, safety, person, or other rights or interests.
6. Due to a sale or merger of one or more of our assets, or a division or line of business. Your personal information may be transferred to the acquirer as a valuable asset, even if they are not in the same line of business as us. Our customer database could be transferred separately from the rest of the business, in whole or in part. Potential acquirers and their advisors may have limited access to data as part of the sale process. However, their use of your personal information will still be subject to this Privacy Policy. Similarly, your personal information may be transferred to a successor entity in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, or insolvency.
We may also use and disclose information in aggregate form (so that individual customers are not identified) for marketing, strategic development, and other purposes. Please be aware that information you share publicly on the website, such as a comment on a blog post or a product review, may be indexed by search engines, including Google. This may mean that the information will be published publicly.
You may have accessed our website via a hyperlink from the website of one of our retail partners. If so, you consent to the sharing of your personal data and purchase information, including behavioral patterns, with that retail partner in accordance with our contractual relationship with them.
Where is your data and where is it processed?

The personal data you provide through the Website will be processed by Wolverine World Wide, Inc. in the United States of America and may be transferred to other members of its group of companies or other third parties, as described in the previous paragraph. For example, if you make a purchase through our Website, your personal data will be transferred to members of the group and to our sales staff in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to fulfill your order and assist you with any questions you may have regarding your order. Some of the companies or other third parties with whom your personal data is shared, including members of Wolverine World Wide and our suppliers or service providers, are located outside the European Economic Area in countries that do not offer the same level of protection for personal data. This includes the United States of America. Regardless of whether the personal data you provide to us is processed by Wolverine or our suppliers within the EEA or outside, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives the level of protection required of us under applicable data protection laws and this Policy. If you have asked us to share data with third-party websites (e.g., social networking sites), please be aware that their servers may not be secure. Please also be aware that, despite the measures we and the third parties we engage take, the internet is not 100% secure. As a result, others may be able to unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or data.
If you choose to pay for purchases on this site using PayPal, your payment will be processed by PayPal, which will manage the transaction. We do not receive access to your payment information. PayPal's privacy policy can be viewed here .
Security and storage of your personal data

The security of your personal data is important to us, and we are committed to handling your customer information with care. We take all appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage to your personal data. We make reasonable efforts to comply with generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once received. For example, we have implemented technologies (e.g., encryption software, secure servers, and firewalls) designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or accidental loss, unauthorized disclosure, or unauthorized access to such personal data, appropriate to the nature of the data involved. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we believe that the measures implemented by the Website reduce our vulnerability to security issues to a level appropriate to the nature of the data, we cannot guarantee the security of any data you transmit to us online or the terms of this Privacy Policy. By using the Website, you acknowledge and accept the risks of online data disclosure and agree that Wolverine shall not be liable for any breach of security or unauthorized intervention by third parties, unless caused by negligence or willful misconduct.
We have taken security measures to protect our user database, and access to it is restricted. However, it remains your responsibility to:
If you have a user account for the site:
- log out or leave the site when you are not using it,
- ensure that no one uses the Site while your device is logged into the Site (including logging into your device via a mobile, Wi-Fi or shared access connection you use),
- o Keep your password or other login information confidential. Your password and login information are personal to you and should not be shared with any third party or used for shared access, for example, across a network. You should use a password that is unique to your use of the website—do not use the same password as you use for any other website or email account.
To ensure good internet security. For example, if your email account or Facebook account is compromised, this could allow access to your account with us, provided you have granted us this information and/or access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised, it could be used to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. You should keep all your account information secure. If you believe any of your accounts have been compromised, you should change your account login details with us and, in particular, ensure that any compromised account no longer allows access to your account with us. You should also notify us as soon as possible so that we can help you protect your account and, if necessary, warn other people who may be affected.
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, processed, and/or used, and any other related purpose (e.g., certain transaction details and correspondence may be retained until the expiry of the retention period for claims related to the transaction or to satisfy legal requirements regarding the retention of such data). Therefore, if information is used for two purposes, we will retain it until the purpose with the latter retention period has expired; however, after that period, we will no longer use it for that purpose. We restrict access to your personal data to those who need to use it for the relevant purpose(s). Our retention periods are based on business needs, and your personal data that is no longer required will either be irreversibly anonymized (and the anonymized information may be retained) or securely destroyed.
Other websites

The Website may contain links to the websites of retailers or other third parties ("Third-Party Websites") that (1) are not affiliated with Wolverine, (2) are outside of our control, and (3) are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Links to third-party websites on the Website are provided only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link should not be construed as an endorsement of the content of such third-party websites. Wolverine is not responsible for the content of such third-party websites or the privacy practices of third-party websites that may collect and use information from you in different ways, and accordingly, your use of such third-party websites is entirely at your own risk. To obtain relevant information, you should review the privacy statements or policies of any third-party websites before agreeing to their terms or before using them, and direct any questions or comments regarding their content to the applicable website provider. We may also use third parties to collect statistics about Website usage. This may include the use of cookies, the purpose of which we have previously explained. If you have asked us to share data with third-party websites (e.g., social networking sites), please be aware that their servers may not be secure. Please also be aware that, despite the measures we and third parties have taken, the internet is not 100% secure. As a result, others may be able to unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or data.
Application for cooperation with us

If you apply to work with us, we will use the information you provide to process your application and monitor recruitment statistics. As a global company, we may also share your data outside your home country and with other companies in our group. If you apply to work with us, we will ask you to sign additional privacy policies. Once an individual has been employed by us, we will create a file of their employment. At this point, we will provide more information about how we store employee data, and we expect the employee to accept additional privacy policies as part of their employment. If you apply to work with us through a third party, such as a recruitment consultant, please also read their privacy policy before proceeding. We do not encourage direct or unsolicited contact—please do not send us any personal data unless the person concerned has read and accepted this privacy policy. We may retain details of candidates who may be of interest to us now or in the future, in accordance with our retention policies. If you do not want us to do this, please let us know. If your circumstances change—for example, you no longer wish to be considered for employment by us—please also let us know. We may use third parties to assist us in sourcing potential new hires. For example, we may use recruitment software from a third party, subject to that third party's privacy policy, to assist us in managing the recruitment process.
Personal data and children

No personal information from children should be submitted to our website without the consent of a parent or guardian. Wolverine will not knowingly collect or use personal information from children.
