Privacy Policy

Privacy & Security. Your privacy is very important to us, and trust extremely valuable. It is our intent to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of any information that we have collected from you, and also respect your communication preferences at all times. This privacy statement covers the means through which we collect personal information from you, how we use it, who we share it with and in what circumstances, how you can change your marketing preferences with us and/or the suppliers whose merchandise you purchase, and how to contact us for more information.
About FiftyOne. FiftyOne, Inc. ("FiftyOne" - f/k/a E4X, Inc.) develops and deploys solutions that facilitate, stimulate and encourage international ecommerce, with offices in New York City, U.S.A. and Tel Aviv, Israel. FiftyOne is a set of products and services built and managed by FiftyOne, Inc. that allow suppliers of popular brand name retail merchandise ("Suppliers") and international consumers to connect and transact effortlessly.
Third Party Review. FiftyOne is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent organization whose mission is to build user’s trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices. Because FiftyOne wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.
Data Collected. The information collected from you by FiftyOne during the FiftyOne Global Checkout is consistent with information typically collected by transactional ecommerce Web sites as that information is necessary to accept and process purchase instructions for merchandise, and to protect against credit card fraud per association and industry regulations and standards. More specifically the information collected includes but is not limited to: (i) your billing address, (ii) your shipping address, (iii) your e-mail address, (iv) your IP address, (v) credit card information, (vi) your marketing preferences with FiftyOne and (vii) your marketing preferences with the Supplier whose merchandise you are purchasing.
Data Handling, Storage and Security. We use a variety of current technologies and processes for protection of your data, and to ensure that any and all personal data is transmitted in a safe, encrypted format. Data protection takes place at a number of levels within our platform and the team that operates it. All personally identifiably information is transmitted between FiftyOne and its partners over secure channels. Where data is exchanged in real time, we do so over SSL-encrypted channels. Where data is exchanged in batch, we encrypt the data set prior to transmission. In both cases, we use asymmetric key cryptography ensuring that the data itself is not transmitted in clear text but also only the authorized receiving party is able to decrypt the data. Data is stored securely in a database hosted at our collocation facility and disaster recovery site. Both sites employ a series of physical access control measures preventing unauthorized physical access to our systems, including biometric access control technologies. Network access to these sites also flows through a wide range of protective measures. There are many levels of intrusion protection in place ranging from perimeter firewalls which tightly control network traffic, regularly maintained software, operating system and where applicable firmware updates for systems behind the firewall. Tightly managed access rights protocols are used throughout our network to ensure only authorized users have access to very granularly controlled services. Activity is logged and logs are regularly reviewed for irregularities. Third party security specialists are routinely engaged to test intrusion protection methods by performing routine scans of platform hosts whereby they cycle through a series of up-to-date exploits to verify all system hardening controls are current.
Data Provision to Fulfillment Service Providers. You acknowledge that FiftyOne may provide your personal information to certain FiftyOne service providers, in connection with the fulfillment of your purchase instructions, including but not limited to delivery agents, customs brokers, international revenue authorities and fraud management parties. FiftyOne will always attempt to limit the information we provide to be what is reasonably sufficient for those service providers to carry out their responsibilities as they relate to the fulfillment of your purchase instructions, and to subscribe you to any FiftyOne and/or Supplier marketing messages you opt in to receive. FiftyOne does not share, sell, rent, or trade your information with any third parties for their promotional purposes, other than Suppliers who you authorize during the FiftyOne checkout.
Opting In with FiftyOne. If you opt in to receive notification from FiftyOne of new U.S. Suppliers that become enabled with the FiftyOne service from time to time, your personal information may be used by FiftyOne and/or its contracted marketing services partners to send you e-mails detailing the availability of new Suppliers, merchandise and/or promotions. Your marketing preferences with FiftyOne will be based on the selection you have made during the most recent purchase instruction.
Opting In with Suppliers. If you opt in to receive information from a Supplier regarding any offers or promotions said Supplier may make available from time to time by consenting within the FiftyOne checkout, your name, e-mail address, billing address, and shipping address will be shared with the Supplier within the purchase instructions provided by FiftyOne. FiftyOne will indicate, within those purchase instructions, that you have indicated that you wish to receive marketing messages directly from them, at the e-mail address and/or physical address you have provided to FiftyOne within the billing information. You further acknowledge that once your personal data has been shared with a Supplier at your instruction, the subsequent safeguarding of your personal data by the Supplier will be governed by the Supplier’s privacy policy, and any request for further information with respect to their intended use and/or to change your marketing preferences with the Supplier shall be directed at the Supplier and not FiftyOne. If you have previously opted in to receive marketing communication from a specific Supplier via an order placed with FiftyOne, unchecking the marketing box within any subsequent order for merchandise sold by that same Supplier will not be treated as an opt out for marketing communication in which you previously opted in. FOR GREATER CLARITY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ONCE YOU HAVE INSTRUCTED FiftyOne TO PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO A SUPPLIER FOR MARKETING PURPOSES, ANY SUBSEQUENT ADMINISTRATION OF YOUR COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES SHALL BE COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY TO THAT SUPPLIER AND THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY SUPPLIER’S PRIVACY POLICY.
Communications from FiftyOne. FiftyOne will send order-related e-mails to the e-mail address you provided within the FiftyOne Global Checkout including but not limited to, for each order you place with FiftyOne, an (i) order acknowledgement e-mail, (ii) order confirmation e-mails, and (iii) shipment confirmation e-mail. We may additionally attempt to contact you upon order placement at either the e-mail address you provided during the FiftyOne Global Checkout or at the billing telephone number you provided, if we were unable to programmatically verify your billing details with your financial institution and/or public record databases, and where further information was determined to be required to protect FiftyOne, Inc. and you against unauthorized credit card use. The foregoing contacts will only be attempted or made in connection with the fulfillment of your purchase instructions. E-mails that are marketing in nature will only be sent to you if you opt in to receive updates on new Suppliers that become enabled with the FiftyOne service from time to time.
Modifying your Communication Preferences. If you wish to change your marketing communication preferences with FiftyOne at any time, or correct, update or delete personal information previously provided to FiftyOne, please send us an e-mail at optout@fiftyone.com with the details of your request. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
