Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies to automatically collect and record information about your browsing activities and use of our Services. We use this information to, for example, analyze and understand how users access, use, and interact with our Services, to identify and resolve bugs and errors in our Services, to assess secure, protect, optimize, and improve the performance of our Services, to prevent fraud and protect our Services, as well as for targeted marketing and advertising purposes, for analytics purposes, and to personalize content in our Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our service providers may do so on our behalf).

Cookies
“Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for tracking purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process, support the security and performance of the Services, or allow us to track activity and usage data within the Services.

Pixel Tags
Pixel tags (sometime called web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on your device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Services to, among other things, track the activities of users, and help us manage content and compile usage statistics. We may also use these in our emails to let us know when they have been opened or forwarded so we can track response rates and gauge the effectiveness of our communications.

Third-Party Analytics
We may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics to evaluate your use of our Services. We may also use other analytics to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us understand and improve our Services. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cross-Device Use
We and our service providers may use the information we collect about you (whether directly from our Services, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our service providers identify other devices you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We and our service providers also may use the cross-device and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails.

Third-Party Advertisers and Network Advertisers
We partner with companies that assist us in advertising our Services. These companies may use tracking technologies to collect or receive information from our Services and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide analytical services, interest tagging, and ad targeting. We use network advertisers to serve advertisements on non-affiliated websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these network advertisers to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These cookies and other technologies are governed by each entity’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these advertisers with information, including your personal information.

You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Additional information is available on the DAA’s websites at www.aboutads.info and https://youradchoices.com/appchoices (for mobile apps).

Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure
We may collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process the personal information we collect for the business or commercial purposes described in the “How We Use Personal Information” section above.

Sensitive Personal Information
We do not collect, use, or disclose “sensitive personal information” beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA. Accordingly, our collection, use, and disclosure of sensitive personal information is generally limited to what is reasonable and proportionate for the following purposes:

  • To perform the Services as reasonably expected by you;;
  • To detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of personal information that is stored or transmitted;
  • To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at us and to prosecute those responsible for those actions;
  • To ensure the physical safety of you and others;
  • For short-term, transient uses;
  • To verify your information, provide customer support, or provide similar services; and

Retention of Personal Information
We retain your personal information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason we obtained it, subject to applicable law. When deciding how long to keep your personal information, we consider whether we are subject to any legal obligations (e.g., any laws that require us to keep records for a certain period of time before we can delete them), whether we have taken any legal positions (e.g., issued any legal holds or otherwise need to preserve the information), or whether there are other business reasons that require us to keep your personal information (e.g., system integrity).

“Sales” or “Sharing” of Personal Information
The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “share” certain identifiers (i.e., IP address and online identifiers), usage data, and inferences to advertising networks, data analytics providers, operating systems and platforms, and social networks, including in the context of our use of certain cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies. We do so in order to improve and evaluate our advertising campaigns and better reach customers and prospective customers with more relevant ads and content. We do not “sell” or “share” sensitive personal information, nor do we “sell” or “share” any personal information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your CCPA rights to Know/Access, Delete, Correct, or Opt Out of “Sharing” (in the non-cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies context), you may call us at the toll-free number, +1 (866) 890-2810 or submit the form available at https://www.campingworld.com/dar. You are not required to create an account to exercise your rights. You can also have an authorized agent make certain requests.

To opt out of the “sharing” of personal information in the context of our use of certain cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies on our website, you can (1) click on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the bottom of the website to toggle controls that are available via that tool, which will turn off certain cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies on our website or (2) use a universal opt-out signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as described below.

Further to the above, we honor your right to opt out of “sharing” as signaled by a universal opt out signal or GPC. To enable GPC, you can visit the Global Privacy Control page at https://globalprivacycontrol.org. If you download a supported browser or extension and exercise your privacy rights with GPC, we will turn off certain cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies on our website after our website detects a GPC signal. If you visit our website from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt-out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device.

Verification of Certain Requests
Only you, or an individual legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information.

Depending on the type of request, we may request information from you in order to confirm/verify your identity. Additionally, authorized agents may be required to provide proof of their authorization, and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly confirm/verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent. We cannot respond to your request if we are unable to confirm/verify your identity or your authority to make a request on behalf of another person.

Other California Privacy Disclosures

Notice of Financial Incentive
With respect to some of our Services, CWGS may make available certain programs or offerings, and other sweepstakes, contests, or similar promotional offerings (each a “Program”) which may include certain offers, rewards, discounts, services, perks, and promotions (“Rewards and Offers”). These Programs may be considered “financial incentives” under the CCPA. As described below, CWGS collects, discloses, and retains personal information about participating customers as part of these Programs.

  • Good Sam Membership Program. This Program requires you provide us with personal information, which may include identifiers (i.e., name, email, address, username, and other similar contact information) and certain commercial information (i.e., purchasing history). For more information, please see https://www.goodsam.com/club.
  • Other Programs. We may also provide or offer other Programs, such as promotional offerings or incentives. Some of these Programs may be administered by third party partners who may collect or receive your personal information to administer the Program and provide related services to us.

As a basis for offering these Rewards and Offers, we have valued the personal information we obtain based on a reasonable and good faith calculation determined by considering expenses related to the Programs. In doing so, we value the personal information collected through the Programs as the equivalent of the costs and expenses incurred to provide the Program, including IT, administration, direct costs, third party costs, discounts, and service development costs.

Your personal information is collected and retained, and may be disclosed to CWGS’s business partners, vendors, and service providers, and other third parties, as described in this Policy, including in order (1) to administer the Program; (2) for research and analytics purposes; (3) to improve our products and services; (4) to better reach you with more relevant, targeted offers; and (5) to send you CWGS news, updates, and offers by email, postal mail, and text message (in accordance with your communications preferences).

You may request to withdraw from participating in a Program by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. Depending on the Program from which you are requesting to withdraw, we may need to redirect you to another resource, which may be internal or external, to assist you with your request. Please note that if you withdraw from a Program, your participation in that Program will be terminated, which means that you may no longer be eligible to earn, use, access, or redeem any Program Rewards and Offers. Please also note that, as described at the beginning of this Policy, some of our Services are subject to additional terms and conditions as identified in connection with those Services, and the process by which you must withdraw from participation in those Services may vary.

California “Shine the Light” Disclosure
Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide us certain personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have shared with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such requests may be made once per calendar year for information about any relevant third-party sharing in the prior calendar year. To make such a request please contact us at +1 (866) 890-2810.
