SHEMM Corp (“Shemm,” “we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy and values your trust. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you of the treatment and handling of personal information that we may learn about you from using our website at theshemm.com (the “Site”), from purchasing products from us, and/or by use of any of our services (collectively, the “Service”). If you have any questions regarding this information or our privacy practices, please contact us via the methods set out in the How to Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Policy.
- Agreement to Terms
If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, then you should immediately discontinue use of the Service without providing us any personal information.
- Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of personal information (a) directly from you (such as when you create an account, order a product, fill out feedback forms or surveys, or send communications to us), (b) from third-party websites that you visit where our advertisements may be served, (c) from the device and browser that you use to access the Service, and (d) from cookies and similar technologies.
Identifiers
We may collect your name, email address, account username and password, postal address, and phone number.
Financial and Transaction Information
We may collect payment details (such as credit or debit card information), billing address, order history, and purchasing or consuming tendencies.
Inferences
We may also draw inferences from the information that we collect that reflect your preferences or characteristics.
CCTV
If you visit our brick-and-mortar stores, we may use closed-circuit television, video recordings, photographs, and/or similar technology to monitor our stores for security, fraud, loss prevention, incident reporting, and operational purposes.
Device Information
We may collect device information when you visit our Site. Device information may include your device type, browser type, online and/or unique identifiers, IP address, and geolocation information.
Internet Activity
We may collect information concerning your interaction with our Site, including when you access the Site and your browsing activity on the Site (such as which pages you visit, in what order, and for how long). This may include “traffic data” or tracking information provided by the Site’s host or similar providers (e.g., Google Analytics) that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the Service.
You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Privacy Policy to use our Service or to interact with us, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide certain personal information. For example, if you do not provide certain personal information, we may not be able to respond to your requests, allow you to register an account, or provide you with promotional notices that we believe you may find valuable.
- Cookies
We store certain information that gets collected automatically at our end through cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on our Site are generally divided into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are required for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into password-protected portions of our Site and cookies that save items in your online shopping cart.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of users on our Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located). This helps improve how the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.
We use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt-out of Google Analytics’ collection and use of data generated by your use of the Site by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Functional Cookies. These improve the functional performance of the Site and make it easier for you to use. For example, cookies are used to remember that you previously visited our Site and asked to remain logged into it. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device for us to use during your next visit to our Site.
In addition, we use Shopify to power our online store. Shopify uses certain strictly necessary cookies to enable the online store to function properly as well as analytical/performance cookies. For more information regarding Shopify’s cookies, visit https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.
You can prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access our Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of our Site (such as the shopping cart feature), and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
Do-Not-Track Signals
At this time, Shemm does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “do-not-track” instructions.
- Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under the age of 16 and Shemm does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If you are aware of, or suspect that, someone under the age of 16 is using the Service without permission, please notify us immediately by contacting us as detailed below. If you have questions or concerns about the Internet and privacy for your child, we encourage you to check out the FTC Guidelines for protecting your child’s privacy online.

- Security
We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unintentional destruction. We have implemented various security measures to protect both the personal information and the general information that we receive from you through the Service. Whenever you give out personal information online there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information. Although we seek to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized access by third parties, or other causes beyond our control.
You play an important role in keeping your information secure. You should not share your username or password with anyone. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at the information in the How to Contact Us section below.
- Additional Disclosures for Residents of California
For residents of California, this section describes how we collect, use, and disclose, and/or “sell” (as defined under California law) the personal information of California residents, and the rights you may have under California law. These disclosures are intended to supplement this Privacy Policy with information required by California law.
To understand what personal information we may have collected about you in the past 12 months, and from where we collected it, please see the section Information We Collect above.
We collect this personal information, as further described in the Our Use of Personal Information section above, to operate, manage, and maintain our business, to provide our products and services, and to accomplish our business purposes and objectives.
We may share personal information with the third parties listed above in the section Our Disclosure of Personal Information. Below, we have provided more detail regarding the two ways we share your personal information: (a) “sales” of information and (b) general disclosures of information for a business purpose.
“Sales” of Information
We have marked “sales” in quotation marks because a “sale” under California law broadly includes any disclosure of information in return for any value. This value does not need to be monetary, like in a traditional sale. For example, a “sale” can be when a business provides information collected through cookies to an advertising network that it has hired to promote its own ads—but then the advertising network is able to use the cookie data provided for its own purposes, outside of this particular business relationship.
In the past 12 months, we may have “sold” the following categories of personal information to the following third parties: Internet Activity and Inferences to Advertising networks.
We do not sell, or have actual knowledge of any sale of, the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
Disclosure of Information for a Business Purpose
To manage our business and provide services to you, we sometimes share personal information with third parties. These third parties cannot further collect, sell, or use the personal information we share with them except as necessary to perform our purposes, as instructed by us.
In the past 12 months, we may have disclosed the following categories of personal information to the following third parties for our operational business purposes:

Your Rights
Under California law, you have a right to notice, upon collection, of the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which the information will be used. You have the right to access a copy of the categories and specific pieces of personal information about you that we collect, use, disclose, and/or sell, and the right to ask us to delete or anonymize your personal information, subject to some exceptions. You also have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. Finally, you have the right to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights.
You may exercise your right to opt-out of “sales” by clicking and following the instructions: Do Not Sell My Personal Information located at the footer of our page. We also recognize the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) as a valid consumer request to opt out of marketing cookies for the browser that you use to access the Site.
If you wish to exercise the right to access or delete your information or have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your personal information, please contact shemmcorp@gmail.com with the subject line “California Privacy” so that we can get your email to the right team, or you can call 819024866988. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
Please note, however, before we will be able to process your request for access or deletion of personal information, we will need to properly verify your identity for security purposes. If we possess appropriate information about you (e.g., name, email, address), we will attempt to verify your identity using that information. If it is not reasonably possible to identify you, we may not be able to respond to your request.
To use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we may need the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the authorized agent signed permission to submit the request on your behalf. We may also require you to verify your identity directly with us.

- Portability. You have the right to request that we transmit the personal information we hold with respect to you to another data controller.
- Objection. Where the legal justification for our processing of your personal information is our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing on grounds relating to your situation.
