Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 17, 2024
At SendOwl, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share the personal information that we gather on the subdomains and websites on sendowl.com (the “Sites”) or through your use of our products and services. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before submitting any personal data to us through our Sites. By continuing to use our Sites, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Concept Den Ltd. doing business as SendOwl will be the data controller of your personal data if you are a merchant using SendOwl to deliver products (“Merchant”) or a promoter of a Merchant’s product (“Affiliate”). Conversely, SendOwl will be the data processor if you are a customer to a SendOwl Merchant (“End Customer”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to the way we process Merchants’ End Customer information in our role as a service provider to our Merchants. Our Data Processing Addendum, which describes how we process and safeguard Merchants’ End Customer information as a service provider to our Merchants, is available upon request by emailing dpa-requests@sendowl.com.
If you are an End Customer to one of our Merchants, please contact your Merchant directly for information regarding how your Merchant uses and shares your personal information gathered from our services.

How Do We Respond to ‘Do Not Track’ Signals?
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

Additional Disclosures for Certain U.S. State Residents
Certain state laws require that we detail the categories of personal information that we disclose for certain “business purposes,” such as to service providers that assist us with securing our services or marketing our products.

- Identifiers;
- Personal information under California Civil Code section 1798.80;

Several jurisdictions grant state residents certain rights, including the right to access specific types of personal information, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to learn how we process personal information, the right to know whether and how we disclose or sell personal information, the right to opt out of any sale of personal information, the right to request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances, the right to limit our use of your sensitive personal information, and the right not to be denied goods or services for exercising these rights.
To make such a request, please contact us using the contact details listed in the Contact Us section below.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. Residents of certain U.S. states have the right to opt out of the sale of the consumer’s personal information.
We do not sell your email address, shopping cart data, or other marketing information to third parties. However, under some U.S state laws, some sharing of personal information necessary to provide you with personalized ads may be considered a “sale,” even if no money is exchanged, such as our use of cookies and similar technologies. You may learn more about how to opt out of such personalized ads through our Cookie Policy.
Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose other than providing our goods and services to you, or as otherwise permitted under applicable law.
Third Party Marketing. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
Legal Bases for Processing
Billing information is recorded as it is necessary to comply with our contractual obligations when providing our service to Merchants and our Merchants’ End Customers.
We process information about our visitors for the legitimate business interests of developing our site to ensure a better experience for our visitors. We also obtain registration information based on the legitimate interest of business administration. When processing your personal data for our legitimate interests, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the interests we pursue are balanced with your interests, rights and freedoms.
With your consent, we may use your personal data to send you marketing materials, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law. You may also provide consent where we do not rely on another legal basis. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
We may process data in compliance with a mandatory legal obligation. For example, accounting and tax requirements, which are subject to mandatory retention periods. We may also collect your personal data to record your requests to exercise your rights and to verify your identity for such requests.
In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you, in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet law enforcement requirements, as described above in How We Share Information.
Retention and Withdrawal
We retain information from or about you for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. When the information is no longer necessary for these purposes, we delete it or keep it in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrolment with our products or services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
Data Transfer
We may transfer your personal data to recipients in countries other than the country in which the personal data originally was collected. Those countries may not offer the same level of protection to your personal data. When we transfer your personal data to recipients outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we will comply with applicable legal requirements by providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal data, including by (i) entering into the European Commission’s EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the data recipients, (ii) verifying that the recipient has implemented Binding Corporate Rules, or (iii) any other appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law for any personal information transferred internationally.
To obtain a copy of our Data Protection Addendum with Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated, please email dpa-requests@sendowl.com.

The Sites are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the Contact Us section below. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
Change of Control
Personal information may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other change in control. If we sell, merge or transfer any part of the business, part of the sale may include your personal information.
Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information obtained through the Sites, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

This policy may be periodically updated. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to ensure you are familiar with the most current version. Please review carefully before submitting personal data to our site. The date the policy was last updated is indicated at the top of this page.
