If you are a customer with an online account, you can opt out of future mailings by updating the preferences in your online account. Opting-out of email communications does not mean Discountmugs will not contact you about your account.

Voice Calls, Texts and SMS Messages: You may have the opportunity to receive occasional voice, text and SMS messages from Discountmugs to receive updates on our products and services, or about products and services that we think may be of interest to you. Message frequency will vary. By providing your phone number and opting in to receive text messages, you expressly consent to receive these communications, including automated text messages to the phone number that you provide. Consent to receiving text messages is not required in order to receive products or services from Discountmugs. Message and data rates may apply, and your carrier’s rates will apply.

If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of certain personal information, including your name and mailing address, to third parties.

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.

Please note that data protection and consumer protection laws of the United States and such other countries may differ from the data protection or consumer protection laws in your country. By using the Services or providing us with your Personal Information, you understand that your information will be collected from and processed in the United States and other countries where Discountmugs or its service providers operate, and acknowledge that your Personal Information may be subject to access by law enforcement and other government entities, including courts and tribunals, in accordance with laws applicable in those jurisdictions.
