At this time, we do not respond to nor honor Do-Not-Track signals from web browsers.

We may collect information about you through a referral program, such as when a New England Made Retailer or Brand refers one of their existing customers or partners to New England Made. If you have been referred to New England Made but wish to opt out of emails from us, please contact us as explained below.

We may share your personal information with third parties as described in this section:

If you request or agree to have your information shared with a third party as part of a feature or Service, we will share that information at your request.

You agree that we may provide any of the information we have collected from you in non-personally identifiable form to an Advertiser, in order for that Advertiser to select the appropriate audience for those advertisements and/or offers. For example, we might use the fact you are located in Maine to show you ads or offers for Maine businesses, but we will not tell such businesses who you are. Or, we might allow Advertisers to display their ads to users with similar usage patterns to yours, but we will not disclose usage information to Advertisers except in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. Note that if an advertiser asks us to show an ad to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that ad, the advertiser may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they were trying to reach.

If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make a privacy request for you, please email us from the email address associated with your New England Made account and inform us of this designation, along with the designated agent’s name and email address.

We take steps to treat your information securely and make sure it is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure nor warrant the security of any information you provide us.
