Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Our Services use cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Services, understand usage, personalize content, and support advertising. These technologies may collect “click-stream data,” such as what you view, the features you use, the links you click, and other actions you take on our Services, as well as interactions with our emails (for example, whether you open an email or click a link).
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to help analyze how visitors use our Services and to support advertising. For information on how Google Analytics uses data, you may visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of Google Analytics, you may visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You may be able to use your browser settings or extensions to reject cookies or notify you when cookies are used. If you do not accept certain cookies, parts of our Services may not function properly. More information about cookies may be available in our Cookie Policy (if posted on our site).
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Correcting Personal Information
You can review and change most personal information in your account at any time. You can also request updates by emailing privacy@tailgatetikes.com. We generally process email requests within 10 days, though some requests may take longer depending on the nature of the request and verification requirements.
Opting Out of Targeted Advertising
Targeted advertising shows you ads that may be more relevant based on activity over time and across different websites or services. Even if you opt out, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant.
Some cookies and tracking technologies allow us and our partners to show you Tailgate Tikes ads on other websites or apps. We may also work with vendors who use their own cookies and tracking technologies to provide advertising services on our behalf.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out options by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Opting Out of Marketing Communications
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using unsubscribe mechanisms (where available) or by contacting us at privacy@tailgatetikes.com. To help us process your request, please include your name and the email address or other contact information you want removed from marketing lists.
Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you non-marketing communications such as order confirmations, shipping updates, and other transactional or service-related messages.
Other Privacy Rights and Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request additional information about our practices and to access, delete, correct, or obtain a copy of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain processing (such as targeted advertising) as permitted by law. You (or an authorized agent, where permitted) may submit requests by emailing privacy@tailgatetikes.com.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Verification may involve matching information you provide with information we have in our records, and in some cases we may request additional information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your lawful privacy rights.
Children’s Personal Information
While Tailgate Tikes products may be used by children, our Services are intended for people age 16 and older. If you create an account, you may choose to provide information about the children you shop for. This information is optional and may be deleted by contacting privacy@tailgatetikes.com.
We do not knowingly request personal information directly from anyone under the age of 16.
Social Media, Reviews, and User-Generated Content
You can interact with us on social media by liking, following, tagging, or commenting. Information you make available through social media may be visible to others, and the platform may collect information about you and your interactions with our content. If you mention us, tag us, or comment on social media, we may be permitted to use your post in our marketing (for example, reposting on our social channels), subject to applicable law and your rights.
If you submit content (such as photos, videos, or reviews) directly to us through our Services or otherwise, that content may be visible to others depending on where it is posted. If you want us to remove content from locations we control, please email privacy@tailgatetikes.com.
Security and Your Personal Information
We maintain physical, technical, contractual, and operational safeguards designed to help protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords, keep account credentials confidential, and contact us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
How Long We Keep Personal Information
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. In determining retention periods, we may consider the amount and sensitivity of information, risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process information, business needs, your expectations, and legal requirements.
When we no longer reasonably need personal information, we will either securely delete or destroy it, or de-identify or aggregate it so it can no longer reasonably be linked to you, where permitted by applicable law.

Where required by law, we will also honor recognized opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) for certain online activities, to the extent feasible for the browser and device you use.

Tailgate Tikes Meta AI Policy
At Tailgate Tikes, we use Meta’s AI technology to enhance customer conversations, provide helpful product information, and create a seamless shopping experience. This policy explains how AI is used in our Meta chat experiences, what customers can expect, and how we protect your privacy and trust.
Purpose of AI in Business Chats
Our Meta AI assistant helps customers by:
- Providing details about our officially licensed collegiate and sports-inspired bamboo pajamas, onesies, and accessories.
- Answering common questions about product availability, sizing, shipping, and returns.
- Directing customers to helpful pages such as Size Guide, Wash & Care, or Signup for our 10% off discount.
- Offering support for order tracking, restock updates, and promotions.
Human Oversight and Escalation
Our chatbot is designed to provide fast, friendly service, but some conversations are handled by our human support team. The AI may assist with returns, order status, and general questions — however, high-risk or sensitive topics such as complaints, licensing inquiries, or media requests are escalated to a team member.
For these matters, please Contact Us.
Accuracy and Transparency
The AI strives to provide accurate and up-to-date information about Tailgate Tikes products and policies. As details such as shipping timelines, restocks, or promotions may change, we encourage customers to verify key information on our official website: www.tailgatetikes.com.
If unsure, the AI will recommend checking official pages or contacting our customer service team.
Data Use and Privacy
All interactions with our AI are subject to Meta’s Business Chats using AI from Meta policies and Tailgate Tikes’ own privacy standards. We do not sell or share personal information collected during AI chats. Any data collected is used only to improve your shopping experience and ensure accurate order support. To provide quality service, we may use AI from Meta to generate chat responses for our customers. Your use of AI from Meta is subject to Meta’s AI Terms and Privacy Policy. Your feedback and messages may be used to improve AI at Meta.
For more about business chats using AI from Meta visit Business Chats Using AI From Meta.
Customer Choice
You can always choose to speak directly with a Tailgate Tikes team member instead of interacting with our AI assistant. To do so, simply request “human support” during your chat or Contact Us.
Continuous Improvement
We regularly review AI responses to ensure they reflect Tailgate Tikes’ friendly, accurate, and family-focused brand voice while staying aligned with Meta’s evolving AI policies. Updates to this policy will be reflected here as changes occur.
Privacy Policy Updates
If our privacy practices change, we will post an updated Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when this Privacy Policy was most recently revised. If you do not agree with our privacy practices, you may choose how you engage with Tailgate Tikes, including limiting the personal information you provide.
