Last updated: September 14, 2020
This website is owned by Cobmex Apparel Inc. (the “Company”) and we are committed to ensuring that your privacy and personal information are protected during your visit.
This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about the Company’s practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. In this policy, when we say “we,” “us” or “our,” we are referring to the Company. This Privacy Policy summarizes what personal information we may collect, how we may use this information, and other important topics relating to your data protection and privacy. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting any of your personal information to us.
When does this Privacy Policy apply?
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect, use, or disclose about you through the following methods (collectively, the “Services”):
- On our website and in our retail offices;
- In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and our website;
- Through our newsletters and other marketing materials; and

Your Consent
By using our website and/or using our Services, you indicate that you understand, accept and consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. When you provide your personal information to the Company, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Your consent may be withdrawn at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice; however, without such consent, the Company may limit the Services it is able to provide you.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time (see “Changes to This Privacy Policy” section below). Your continued use of our website and/or Services after we make changes indicates that you accept and consent to those changes, so please check our Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
Information that You Voluntarily Provide to Us
Like many websites, ours actively collects information from visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, by submitting contact or custom forms, or by placing orders. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on, if you provide it).
Information that you may provide us with directly may include:
- Your name, company name, email, phone number, and country, when you register to request an account on the website;
- Your name, phone number, company name, company address, email address, credit card information, personal preferences, purchase history and other information that you add to your account profile and/or complete a purchase;
- Your name and email address when you subscribe to newsletters or other marketing materials; and
- Your name, email address, company name, phone number, purchase history, and other details you provide when you contact our customer service team.
By submitting your personal information to us, you represent and warrant that you have the right and authority or have obtained all necessary consents to provide any information, including any personal information of another individual that you provide to us.
Information Derived through Automated Tracking Mechanisms
As you navigate through our website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
Our website may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the website.
Like many websites, our website also uses “cookies” to maintain a record of your visit. A cookie is a small text file that is transferred by a web server and stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. It can only be read by the server that sent it to you. This information does not identify you personally. We use cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website for web analytics purposes. They help us improve our website, optimize your experience, store information about your preferences, speed up your searches and to recognize you when you return.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our website if cookies are disabled.
