The information NICGS collects depends on how you use the website. It may include:

• Contact information: your name, email address, telephone number, and messages you send to NICGS.
• Order information: products ordered, quantities, order totals, shipping and billing addresses, and information needed to process, deliver, or support an order.
• Technical information: information ordinarily recorded by website servers, such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, and the date and time of a request.
• Browser storage: shopping-cart information stored in local storage and temporary checkout information stored in session storage so these features work correctly.

NICGS may use personal information to:

• Process, confirm, fulfill, and support orders.
• Respond to questions about programs, awards, patches, products, or orders.
• Maintain shopping-cart and checkout functionality.
• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and its services.
• Detect misuse, protect NICGS and its users, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

This website uses browser-based local and session storage to retain cart items and temporary checkout state. Local storage may remain until you remove the cart data or clear browser storage. Session storage generally remains only for the current browser session. You can clear this information through your browser settings, although doing so may reset your cart or interrupt checkout.

NICGS does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

• Service providers supporting website hosting, application operations, order processing, delivery, or technical support.
• PayPal and related payment-service providers when you initiate a payment.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law, legal process, or a valid request, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of NICGS or others.
• A successor organization in connection with a reorganization, transfer, or similar organizational change, subject to applicable law.

NICGS provides educational information for Girl Scouts, but the website's purchasing and support features are intended for use by adults, including parents, guardians, troop leaders, and other adult purchasers. NICGS does not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information should contact NICGS so the information can be reviewed and deleted where required by law.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information. You may also ask a question about how NICGS handles your information. Requests can be sent to admin@nicgs.com. NICGS may need to verify a request and may retain information where required by law or for legitimate recordkeeping purposes.

The website contains links to websites and services operated by third parties. NICGS does not control their privacy practices. Their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies.

NICGS may update this Privacy Policy when website features, practices, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date.

For privacy questions or requests, contact admin@nicgs.com.
