If you are a customer with an online account, you can opt out of future mailings by updating the preferences in your online account.

If you exercise certain rights, understand that you may be unable to use or access certain features of DiscountMugs’s Site or Services.

We will take steps to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

You may be able to use an authorized agent to submit a rights request on your behalf. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.

Certain laws may give you a right to appeal any denials of your request to exercise your rights. If we deny your request and you would like to submit an appeal, please contact us at support@discountmugs.com.

Security of Your Personal Information

We maintain and implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of your information in our custody and control. No data, on the Internet or otherwise, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, Discountmugs cannot and does not ensure or warrant the security of your information.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected through the Sites. However, like many websites, our Site is not currently designed to recognize a “Do Not Track” signal from a web browser. As a result, Discountmugs and third parties may track your online activities, including over time and across different sites and apps.
