Information Collected Automatically
hkgbranch Mattress and third parties (as described below) may automatically collect browsing information from your device. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used to operate the service, maintain its quality, advertise, and provide general statistics regarding website use. Browsing information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information may be shared with a number of third parties.
When you use the Service, we use persistent and session cookies (for information on cookies, please see below) and other tracking technologies such as log files and clear GIFs to: (a) store your username and password; (b) analyze the usage of the Service, such as the number of clicks, time spent on parts of the Service or search results; (c) customize the Service to your preferences; and (d) control the advertising displayed by the Service. We also may include clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to determine whether the message has been opened. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather additional information through other methods.
We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address, zip code), and may use that information to customize the Service with location-based information and features. The location information we collect is not precise but rather is at the zip code, town, or similar level. If you access the Service through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this.
Use of Cookies
When you visit our website, we store cookies on your browser to collect information. The information collected might relate to you, your preferences, or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to and to provide a more personalized web experience. However, you can choose not to allow certain types of cookies, which may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the different category headings to find out more and change our default settings according to your preference. Note that you cannot opt out of our First Party Strictly Necessary Cookies as they are essential for the proper functioning of our website, such as prompting the cookie banner, remembering your settings, logging into your account, and redirecting you when you log out. For more information about the First and Third-Party Cookies used, click the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer navigation of the website.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Always Active: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Opt-Out of Sale of Sharing/Targeted Advertising
As a California consumer, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time across business platforms, services, businesses, and devices. You can opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information by using this toggle switch. As a Virginia, Utah, Colorado, and Connecticut consumer, you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data and the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising. You can opt out of the sale of your personal data and targeted advertising by using this toggle switch. For more information on your rights as a United States consumer see our privacy notice.
- Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
- Social Media Cookies: These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They can track your browser across other sites and build up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
As noted above, we may collect information that is not Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). We may aggregate or de-identify Personally Identifiable Information so that the information does not personally identify you or anyone else directly. Because Non-Personally Identifiable Information, including aggregate or de-identified information, does not personally identify you directly, we may collect, use, and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose permitted by law and subject to the section titled California Consumer Notice. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information. If we combine any Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personally Identifiable Information.
Interest-based Advertising
We want our marketing efforts to be reflective of the interests and behaviors of our users. Therefore, we may work with third parties who collect information on our Website and elsewhere through the use of cookies and similar methods in order to serve you with relevant advertisements on other services or to determine that you have seen our advertisements on other services. For example, if you view information about a particular mattress on our Website, we may target advertising to you on other websites and services (such as unaffiliated websites and social media services) about that mattress. This method of advertising is sometimes called “interest-based advertising.”
For example, Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads in connection with our advertising. Google’s use of cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Service or other websites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings webpage.
You do have the ability to control certain advertising practices through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out of targeted advertising from certain providers with whom we work by visiting the DAA’s consumer choice pages here and here. Additionally, the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) offers a website where you can opt out of interest-based advertising from some or all of the NAI’s members. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. You may need to repeat this process on every device you use.
Some browsers have a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that lets users signal to websites that they do not want to have their online activities tracked. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, if you are a resident of certain states that require compliance, we treat opt-out preference signals as a means of opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of opting out of the processing of personal information for targeted advertising, as applicable, to the extent such signals are present and readable.
Cross-Device Matching
We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to facilitate cross-device association. We or our third-party vendors analyze device activity data using a mathematical tool known as a “probabilistic algorithm” to determine if you have interacted with content across multiple devices and to match such devices. In connection with this analysis, we may rely on Non-Personally Identifiable Information (including demographic, geographic, and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information we collect in conjunction with such third party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated and may provide other services to our advertisers, such as tools, analyses, data, and insights to see how their website or mobile applications are used and to further enable the display of targeted advertisements to you, including across your devices. Our advertisers may also provide us with deterministic data about you that may be used to supplement our probabilistic data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated and may provide other services to our advertisers, such as tools, analyses, data, and insights to see how their website or mobile applications are used and to further enable cross-device targeting and analysis. In order to restrict our use of certain cross-device data, you may opt-out in accordance with this section or the Your Choices About Your Information section below.
Security of Your Information
hkgbranch Mattress uses a variety of physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your information, based on the sensitivity of the information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to hkgbranch Mattress or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
The security of your information is important to us, and we strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the information we have collected from you.
We will retain your information for as long as necessary for our business purposes, subject to your rights set forth below.
International Transfer
Your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the information, including Personally Identifiable Information, to the United States and process it there. Information stored in the United States may be subject to lawful requests by the courts or law enforcement authorities in the United States. Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by your submission of such information, represents your agreement to that transfer.
Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party’s site. We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from the Service, nor the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Service to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
Our Website may have plugins from social media platforms. If you have a previous relationship with such social media platforms, then they may recognize you and combine information collected through this Website with information they already possess about you. As described in this Privacy Policy, we may work with social media platforms to target advertisements to you while you are on their services based on your visits to our Website.
Children Under 13
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. We do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your children have provided us with Personally Identifiable Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personally Identifiable Information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

We may share your personal information with the categories of third parties set forth in the chart above under Information We Collect, How We Collect It, How We Use It.
Rights to Your Information
Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed or Sold
As a California Consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access and Deletion Rights), and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information. You have the right to request any or all of the following:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies, such as for fulfilling a transaction, for product warranty or security purposes. However, we may retain personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated. Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) in order to perform certain actions set forth under CCPA, such as detecting security incidents and protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity.
Exercising Access and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by visiting our Privacy Portal or by contacting us at 1-888-914-9661 using PIN 303538.
Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”) may make the requests set forth above.
The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. In addition, you should provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the personal information or an authorized representative of that person.
Response Timing and Format
We will respond to consumer requests in a reasonably timely manner. If we require extra time to respond, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. In order to protect the security of your personal information, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will depend on the type, sensitivity, and value of the information, including the risk of harm to you posed by any authorized access or deletion. Generally speaking, verification will be performed by matching the identifying information provided by you to the personal information that we already have.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is at least 13 or less than 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age.
To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following internet web page on our Privacy Portal.
If you use an authorized agent to exercise the right to opt-out, you must provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and we may deny the request if the authorized agent does not submit proof that it has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Other U.S. States
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and similar laws in other U.S. states (“Applicable State Privacy Laws”) provide consumers in those states (“Applicable States”) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information.

To be clear, these rights are granted only to the extent that you are a consumer who resides in an Applicable State, and we are acting as a controller with respect to your Personal Information. The rights in this section are not intended to grant you additional rights but only your rights under the Applicable State Privacy Laws.
The categories of personal data we process, our purposes for processing your personal data, the categories of personal data that we share with third parties, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are set forth in the terms of the Privacy Policy above.

You may request such personal data up to twice annually, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to delete. You have the right to delete personal data that you have provided or that we have obtained about you. Please note that we may deny such a request if the requested deletion falls under an exception as set forth in the Applicable State Privacy Laws.

- Right to opt out. You have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for purposes of (i) targeted advertising, (ii) the sale of personal data, or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
