If you opt in, we may share user information with businesses affiliated with My Bend Factory Stores.

We may also use your information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests. In the future, we may make our email address list available to carefully screened companies whose products may be of interest to you. If you wish to unsubscribe you may do so by filling out the unsubscribe form or by going to the Contact Us page and sending an email.

How Do We Protect Your Information?
We use industry standard technology and efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information. These include secure servers and firewalls. All of the user data we collect is protected against unauthorized access. Only authorized employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to this information.
What About “Cookies?”
A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive, containing information about the user. We use cookies on our site, but none of them contain any personally identifiable information. In addition, we may decide to use cookies on certain pages of our site. Cookies can help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session.
Some of our business partners also use cookies on our site, for example, in connection with their advertising. We have no control over these cookies, and we may not have access to the information these advertisers collect. You may choose not to accept cookies by setting your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is set. If you choose to refuse cookies, however, you may not be able to use all features of our site.
What About Links to Third-Party Websites?
Our site sometimes provides links to websites that are operated solely by third parties that are not under our control. This Privacy Statement applies to our site only, and is not intended to describe the privacy policies of any third party sites.
