This Consumer Privacy Notice ("Notice") provides an overview of the practices of HanesBrands Inc. and its affiliates, subsidiaries and associates ("HanesBrands", "we","our","us") with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information ("PI") about consumers.
This Notice and the Terms of Use Agreement constitute a single Agreement that governs your use of the Site. Any capitalized term that is not defined in this Notice shall have the meaning given to it in the Terms of Use. The term "consumer", "your" and "you", as used in this Notice, is intended to refer to HanesBrands consumers and visitors to the Site.

5. How Hanesbrands Protects Your Personal Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Information. However, no e-commerce solution, website, database, or system is completely secure or "hacker proof." As such, you are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.
Phishing attacks attempt to steal consumers' Personal Information and financial account credentials. "Phishers" use "spoofed" e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging Personal Information such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers.
WE DO NOT SEND E-MAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM SUCH EXAMPLES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such e-mail communication, please forward it immediately to consumer.privacy@hanes.com and then immediately delete the fraudulent e-mail from your computer.
6. How Your Personal Information is Shared with Third Parties
HanesBrands respects your privacy and, accordingly, shares Personal Information with third parties in a limited number of circumstances:
- Affiliates: We may share your Personal Information within the HanesBrands family of companies for marketing and/or other administrative purposes.
- Third-Parties: We may contract with other companies to provide certain services to us, including credit card processing, shipping, e-mail distribution, changing mailing addresses, market research, promotions management, database management, and advertising and promotion management. These third-party service providers may have access to Personal Information or non- Personal Information in order to perform their functions, but they may not use this information for other purposes. These companies are prohibited from using your Personal Information for their own marketing purposes or from sharing this information with others, but we cannot guarantee security of Personal Information and are not liable for misuse of it by others. We also use third-party service providers to serve advertisements (such as banners, links, etc.) on our behalf, whether displayed on the Site or elsewhere on the Internet. These advertising service providers may use Cookies to collect non-identifiable information about your visits to the Site (see Section "Automatically collected information" above for more details). Such non-identifiable information does not include your name, address, e-mail address, IP address or other Personal Information. In addition to the information about your visits to the Site, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us. Our advertising partners may use third-party Cookies on our site. In the future, we may partner with other entities that will provide us with interest-based advertising (displayed on the Site or elsewhere on the Internet). For more information about interest-based advertising and for a link to a tool that will enable you to manage third-party advertising preferences, see the Managing Your Preferences: Interest-Based Advertising, below.
HanesBrands may share your Personal Information with third parties (companies and organizations) under the following circumstances:
- Purposes authorized by you: When you have requested or authorized such sharing (e.g., payment processing, delivery of goods and services, participating in HanesBrands sponsored programs, if you create a "My Favorites" list and elect to make it available to the public)
- Co-Sponsored events: We sometimes work with an unaffiliated co-sponsor to provide certain contests, sweepstakes, promotions and other offerings to our consumers. We will let you know if an event or promotion is co-sponsored (for example, by prominently displaying the co-sponsor's name and/or logo on applicable pages on the Site). As part of a co-sponsored event, we may provide the co-sponsor with information (including Personal Information) that is necessary to facilitate the event. In these circumstances, our co-sponsor will have the right to use any Personal Information received from us for its own purposes, and such uses would then be subject to the co-sponsor's own terms of use and Notice. We are not responsible for how our co-sponsors may use your Personal Information that we share in connection with a co-sponsored event.
- Social media platforms: If you choose to connect your ID (see Terms of Use: Registration) with a Social Media Platform or use your credentials on it to register or log in to the Site, we will ask you for your permission to access your data on the Social Media Platform to create a Site account.
- Protecting our interests; legal compliance: We may disclose information we collect when we believe disclosure is appropriate in order to comply with the law, to enforce or apply applicable terms and conditions and other agreements, and/or to protect the rights, property or safety of our company, our consumers, or others. If some or all of our business assets are sold or transferred, we may transfer the corresponding information regarding our consumers. We also may retain a copy of such transferred consumer information.
- Aggregated information: We may share with third parties certain aggregate information (that is, information that does not directly identify an individual). This allows us to give you a more personalized experience when you use the Site.
Remember that this Notice only applies to information collected through the Site. It is possible that our policies relating to information collected at our retail locations or through our mail order catalog may permit us to share Personal Information in different circumstances, even if that information has also been collected through the Site pursuant to this Notice.
