  • Commercial information, such as products or services you purchased or considered purchasing.

  • Audio, electronic, video or image information, such as audio or video recording when you call or virtually connect with us, video monitoring via mounted or mobile cameras in the store or at the parking lot when you come to our stores, or photos taken when we are working on your project to document progress or completion. When legally permitted, after detecting a security incident to investigate, we may also use image scan technology on images we previously captured of an individual(s) suspected of being responsible for a security incident to aid our investigation and prosecution. Our cameras may capture license plate information when permitted in certain states.
  • Professional or employment-related information, such as information about you as representatives of our customers and business partners, in connection with our services and the operation of our business, including business contact information, job title, company name, and office visitor access information, where applicable.

  • Education information, such as when you respond to a customer survey.
  • Inferences or preferences we learn or infer about you.
  • Sensitive personal information, such as precise geolocation, race and ethnicity information, and payment card information when permitted by law. We use the information to provide goods or services you request (e.g., with your consent, we use precise geolocation to calculate your arrival time for in store product pick up, so the products are ready for you upon your arrival). We may also use the information so that we can provide relevant products or services to you. In addition, where permitted by law, we use the information to prevent, detect, protect against, or respond to security incidents, identity theft, fraud, and illegal activities.

You may choose to provide us with information when you interact with us. Examples include:

We access your ID number and state information to verify your identity for using Wiicoo merchandise card issued during the no-receipt return process. We will not save the information obtained by the scan. You are not required to consent to the scan to proceed with these transactions. On the self-checkout screen, you can also call for an associate who will manually verify your identity.
