General - Robbins Bros. and its service providers collect personal information through this website necessary to process your purchases, respond to your requests for information and to allow you to use the resources and online services available on our website, including the creation and maintenance of wish lists, gift registries and personalized websites. Personal information includes, but is not limited to, name, physical address, email address, phone number, credit card or debit card information, age and any other information that itself identifies or, when tied to the above information, may identify you as a specific individual. You may also provide through this website information related to your wedding, including dates and places of the rehearsal, wedding and reception, name, address and phone number of wedding guests, and information relating to your gift registry and honeymoon. Robbins Bros. also uses online forms for you to request certain information regarding us and our products and services. On such forms, we collect your contact information.
Contests and Online Surveys - Robbins Bros. will periodically sponsor contests to give you the opportunity to win great prizes. Your participation in these contests is entirely optional.

Robbins Bros. also values the opinions and comments from all of our users, so we frequently conduct surveys. Your participation in these surveys is entirely optional.

Survey participants are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the survey.
Cookies - "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in several ways (and thousands of other sites are currently using them too!). Cookie files are used to better understand how you go through our website so that we may tailor your experience at our website. Cookies are also used to tell us whether you have visited our website previously, and to help us determine whether you came to our website from a particular Internet link or banner advertisement. Cookies can also be used to help you to save and retrieve passwords and other information and preferences you use on our website, saving you from having to re-enter this information upon every visit to our website. Cookies cannot and will not be used by us to retrieve any personal information about you from your computer that you have not previously and voluntarily provided to us. However, cookies may also be received when you link to our partners' sites, and we do not have control over how they use this information. See Partner Websites for more information. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. However, some of the features on our website will not function if you do not accept cookies.
IP Addresses and Usage Information - When you connect to our website, we record information concerning your use of the website, such as the name of your Internet service provider, your IP addresses, information on the type of operating system (e.g., Windows Vista) and browser software(e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox) you are using, the time you access the website, and the Internet address of any referring website and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. These types of information help us to support and improve the website, diagnose problems with our servers and for system administration. If you have opted-in to receiving communications from Robbins Bros., this information also helps us to send you communications about Robbins Bros., its products and services, and those of its partners. Your IP address is also used to help gather aggregated demographic information.
A note about your postings to the website
In various locations of the website, you may publicly post videos, pictures and information about you, your engagement, wedding or honeymoon, and other personal information about yourself. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and is not governed by this Privacy Policy. This public information may be collected and otherwise used by others. You should exercise caution when deciding to publicly disclose your personal information. Please also see Terms of Use.
With whom your information is shared and how it is used
When you provide information to Robbins Bros., the information is stored in our and/or our service provider's databases, and the information is used by Robbins Bros. in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Information we collect when you place an order through the site is used to confirm and process your order, detect and prevent credit fraud or identity theft, provide you with information regarding your order, respond to your requests regarding your order, and to contact you if necessary. We may also use other information we collect through the site to tailor your experience at our site (including the creation of an online bridal registry), to show you content that we think you might be interested in, and to display the content according to your preferences. We also use your contact information to send you information and promotional materials on us and some of our partners.
We may provide your personal information, including financial information, to our service providers in order for such service provider to perform their services for us. These services may include but are not necessarily limited to digital marketing optimization, image management, credit card processing, order processing and fulfillment, credit verification and credit fraud protection, market research and promotions management. We only provide your personal information relevant to the services being provided by each such service provider. Each provider is obligated to use your personal information only for the purpose of providing these services and otherwise consistent with this Privacy Policy unless we notify you and obtain your consent otherwise.
We also may share non-personal information (such as cookies, IP addresses and aggregated information) with third parties who are not our service providers but this information will not be shared along with your personal information or in a manner that would personally identify you.
Robbins Bros. may disclose the information obtained through this site as part of a merger, acquisition or other sale of its assets or business.
In addition to the circumstances described above, we may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, as requested by other government or law enforcement authorities, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable, including (without limitation) when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
The choices you have about the collection and use of your information
As a user, customer, or contest entrant you will occasionally receive e-mail updates from us about material changes to our site, special offers from us and our partners, new Robbins Bros. services and other noteworthy news items about us and our partners. We hope you will find these updates interesting and informative. Of course, if you would rather not receive them, use the "Remove" link in the e-mail or by following any other specific instructions in the e-mail. Our site also provides you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such communications from us by clicking here. In other words, if you don't want us or our partners to send you e-mails about our or their business, just let us know. However, Robbins Bros. reserves the right to limit registration to the website to those who will accept emails and to those who will provide the requested information. Also, we may continue to contact you via e-mail or other means for administrative or informational purposes regarding any orders you place or other transactions you conduct through the website.
Your ability to access, update or correct your information
At any time, you can view and/or update your personal profile information contained in your account(s) on the website by logging in to your account on the applicable portion of the site and following the appropriate instructions and links. However, even if you delete or change some personal information in our registration database, it may still be stored on our, or other third party, databases (including those kept for archival purposes).
The security measures we take to protect your personal information
Personal information you provide to us when registering on the site or when placing orders through the site is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a widely used coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt or scramble data before you send it to us. Registrations and purchases will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL encryption. Only authorized personnel from Robbins Bros. or its service providers can decode this information and such personnel will only do so in accordance with our or their Privacy Policy.
In addition, when you register for certain online services, you will have the opportunity (depending on which service you are registering with) to select whether you wish to make your online registry available to your guests via a password. If you do not elect to make your registry or other services available only via password (or if you create a registry that does not provide this option), anyone visiting our website will be able to search for your registry or other online services by using first and/or last names and wedding dates (and on some pages, city or state).
Despite the security measures we take to protect your information, please be aware that the security of communications sent over the Internet, including e-mail, is subject to many factors outside of Robbins Bros.' control and thus, Robbins Bros. does not guarantee the security or privacy of such communications.
Consent to Processing
By providing any personal information to the site, all users (including without limitation users in the European Union) fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection, processing, transfer, and storage of such information in the United States and any other country where Robbins Bros. or its service provider maintains offices.
Information about Minors
Our website is not directed to, or intended for use by, minors. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information of persons under the age of 13. If Robbins Bros. becomes aware that any such information has been collected, Robbins Bros. will delete it.
Partner Websites
Please be aware that on our site we have advertisements and links to other websites that may collect personal information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of such websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all such sites, as their policies may be materially different from our Privacy Policy.
Changes to our policy
Any material changes in the way we use personal information will be described in future versions of this Privacy Policy. Of course, you may always submit concerns regarding our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices by using our Contact Form. We will attempt to respond to all reasonable concerns or inquiries within two business days of receipt.
