Users outside the United States and Canada

Serta makes the Sites available for consumers located exclusively in the United States of America and Canada. Please do not use the Sites if you are located outside the United States and Canada.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
(a) When you visit our Sites, we gather certain personal information about you.

One of the basic principles we’ve followed in designing the Sites is that we collect the personal information to the extent it is necessary to provide the service you’ve requested and to operate the Sites.

As a result, the answer to this question largely depends on how you choose to make use of our Sites: In order to use certain features, you must provide personal information as set out below. In some cases, you may provide additional optional information.

  • Email List, Newsletters & Promotions. To join our email list to access newsletters or information on special promotions, you must provide us with your email address.
  • Customer Service Inquiries. Name and email are necessary to provide this service, in addition to any other personal information you provide in your email to Serta so that Serta representatives can assist you. If you send us a message on Facebook Messenger, your initial interactions will take place with a chatbot. The chatbot will collect your name and email address, together with details about your specific issue or inquiry and will provide your responses and information to our Customer Service team for handling. Chatbot transcripts are retained in accordance with our retention policy.
  • Sleep Quizzes. Information provided as answers to sleep quizzes on the Sites is used to provide the results of the quiz and to suggest articles and products that we think you might like. If you wish to receive your quiz results by email, you must enter your name and email address.
  • Find a Store. You may find the store nearest to you by entering your postal code. This information is not retained.
  • Accessing your Personal Favorites. Your name and login information are used to enable you to save products of interest to you.
  • Email Notifications. You may request that information be sent via email to you. The email address you provide will be used to send the information to, and a confirmation email will be sent to your email address.

It is your choice as to whether to provide your personal information through the Site as described above; however, if you choose not to provide certain information, certain features of the Sites may not be available to you.
We do not sell your information to other companies. We may change the features and information available via the Sites from time to time without notice.

(b) We collect certain technical information from your use of the Sites.

We (and our third party advertising vendors, including Google and Facebook Third-Party Ad-Servers) may also collect information through cookies and similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, gifs, and tags. A cookie is a small data file that a website transfers to your computer’s hard drive. We may place cookies when you visit our site or another company’s website where our ads appear or when you make purchases, request or personalize information, or register for certain services. If you accept the cookies used on our Sites, or websites where our ads appear, you may give us access to information about your interests. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the site or other websites. The use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners, including other third party vendors to serve you with more personalized ads. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. We may use pixel tags from Facebook to help us understand the actions users take on our website and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you. The collected data remains anonymous to us and we cannot see the personal data of any of our individual users. However, the collected data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook has ultimate control of the information gathered through Facebook Advertising and Facebook Pixel Remarketing. You can opt-out of Facebook’s use of cookies and Facebook Pixel Remarketing through settings on your Facebook Account. To learn about your choices related to pixel tags from Facebook, please review the Facebook Data Policy.

You may configure your web browser to disable cookies, but doing so will impair your ability to fully use the Sites. For example, if you disable cookies, you will not be able to take the sleep quiz on the Sites.

Serta also monitors the total number of visitors to its Sites, as well as which Site pages are most popular, although this information is in the aggregate and cannot be used to identify individuals.

Interest based advertising

We may ourselves, or with third party service providers, use non-personally identifiable information in connection with our own or vendor information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other web sites or our Sites. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described herein may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other web sites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “behavioral advertising,” is based on anonymous information and not on any personally identifiable information. As a result, we and our third party service provider know your interests, but cannot personally identify you in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests.

3. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

if we are acquired by or merged with another company, we may transfer information about you to the extent the personal information is necessary to carry on the business or activity that was the object of the transaction. In this instance, we will give notice to affected users before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

(b) Sharing with third parties

Serta may provide the information you disclose to third party services providers for purposes of providing the services or information requested by you. We limit our service providers’ use of personal information to that which is required to provide the services on our behalf.
