This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is gathered, used, and shared when you visit or make purchases through getthestand.com (referred to as the “Site”).
Personal Information Collection
When you visit the Site, certain details about your device are automatically collected, such as information related to your web browser, IP address, time zone, and specific cookies installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, details about the individual web pages or products you view, the referring websites or search terms, and your interactions with the Site are collected. This information, collected automatically, is referred to as “Device Information.”
We gather Device Information through various technologies:
- “Cookies”: Data files placed on your device or computer, often including an anonymous unique identifier. For more information on cookies and how to disable them, visit AllAboutCookies.
- “Log files”: Track actions on the Site, collecting data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels”: Electronic files used to record information about your browsing activity on the Site.
Furthermore, when you make a purchase or attempt to do so through the Site, specific information is collected, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (such as credit card numbers, PayPal, etc.), email address, and phone number. This information is termed “Order Information.”
In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” refers to both Device Information and Order Information.
Use of Personal Information
The Order Information collected is primarily used to fulfill orders placed through the Site, including processing payment information, arranging shipment, and providing invoices or order confirmations. Additionally, this Order Information is utilized to:
- Communicate with you

The Device Information collected aids in screening for potential risk and fraud, particularly using your IP address. It is also used more broadly to enhance and optimize our Site—for instance, by generating analytics on customer browsing behavior and interaction with the Site and assessing the success of marketing and advertising campaigns.
