1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the website and all related services located at shoponlinetab.com ("Website"), which is owned and operated by Shop Online Tab, a Delaware limited liability company ("Shop Online Tab," "we," "us," or "our").

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personally identifiable information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

4.1 Shopping and Affiliate Partners

These partners have their own privacy policies governing their data practices.

4.2 Advertising Networks

We work with third-party advertising networks to display targeted ads and sponsored content in the Extension. These partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior across websites and apps for the purpose of delivering relevant advertising.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Extension, Website, and services are directed to individuals who are at least 18 years of age in the United States and in the European Economic Area (or such higher age as required by applicable local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these applicable age thresholds.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child below the applicable age threshold, we will take steps to delete such information as promptly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we may have collected information from your child, please contact us at https://shoponlinetab.com/contact.html.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include use of secure socket layer (SSL/TLS) technology for data transmission and access controls on our internal systems.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You use the Extension and Website at your own risk.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and, where required by law, the relevant supervisory authorities, in accordance with applicable data breach notification laws.

These countries may have data protection laws different from those of your country.

For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom to countries not recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Extension and Website contain links to third-party websites, shopping platforms, retail partners, and advertiser sites. These third-party sites have their own separate and independent privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data collection of any third-party sites.

When you click on a shopping deal, sponsored link, or affiliate offer within the Extension and are redirected to a third-party website, your interactions on that website are governed solely by that website's privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
