4. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You have the ability to make certain choices about how we use your Personal Information, as follows:

4.1 Opt out of Interest Based Advertising.

If you reside in the United States, depending on your state of residency, you may have additional choices than the ones outlined below with respect to our use and disclosure of information for sales, "shares," and interest-based advertising purposes. Details on how to exercise your legal opt-out rights can be found below in Section 4.5, "Opt-Out Requests."

In addition to those options, you may be able to opt out of receiving certain targeted or interest-based advertisements using the browser opt-out tools and consumer choice mechanisms provided by advertising industry self-regulatory groups by following the links below:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): https://youradchoices.com/control
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): https://youronlinechoices.eu/

You also can control whether you see interest-based advertisements on your mobile device(s) in the following ways:

• Your device operating system may provide mechanisms that allow you to opt in or opt out of the use of information about your use of mobile apps to deliver interest-based advertising to your mobile device. For more information, consult your device settings.
• The DAA offers a tool for opting out of the collection of cross-app data on mobile devices for interest-based advertising. To exercise your choices with respect to participating companies, please download the AppChoices tool at www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile identifiers, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will have to opt out again.

Even if you choose to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, you may still receive advertising, but the advertisements may be less relevant.

Some of our partners may provide you with additional choices with respect to interest-based advertising. For example, certain social media platforms allow you to control your advertising preferences directly through their services. Please review the privacy policies of the third-party services you use for more information.

From time to time, we may send you marketing and promotional communications, including special offers from us or our partners.

• Right to Limit Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: You may have the right to request that we limit the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions.

Please note that, where permitted under applicable law, we may decline a request (other than for opt outs) if we are unable to verify your identity (or an agent's authority to make the request) and confirm the Personal Information we maintain relates to you.

If you are interested in exercising one or more of the rights outlined above, please click here or you can contact us at [email protected]. Please put the statement "Your Privacy Rights" in the subject field of your email. We may take steps to verify your identity before responding to your request by asking you a series of questions about your previous interactions with us. Submitting a privacy rights request does not require you to create an account with us.

We will not discriminate against you if you decide to exercise your privacy rights.

4.4 Agent Requests

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may submit a request related to your Personal Information.

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may authorize someone to make a privacy rights request on your behalf (an authorized agent). Authorized agents will need to demonstrate that you've authorized them to act on your behalf. Crocs retains the right to request confirmation directly from you confirming that the agent is authorized to make such a request, or to request additional information to confirm the agent's identity.

4.5 Opt-Out Requests

You may request to opt out of the sale or share of your Personal Information, or of targeted advertising, at any time by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link here or at the bottom of our Services' homepages, or you can email us at [email protected].

Submitting an opt-out request does not require you to create an account with us.

Alternatively, you can use certain preference signals to exercise your sale and sharing opt-out right automatically with all businesses that you interact with online, including Crocs. If you enable a browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), upon receipt or detection, we will treat the signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information linked to that browser and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser. Please note that if you use different browsers or browser profiles, you may need to enable the signal on each browser or profile.

4.6 Right to Appeal

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have the right to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. To appeal a decision, please contact us at [email protected] or 303-848-7000.

4.7 Notice of Financial Incentive

We may offer financial incentives to promote our products and services. You can find further information about the financial incentives that are currently available by checking our website. These incentives may include:

• Discounts, coupons, and special offers when you sign up for our email list, participate in a marketing promotion or sweepstakes, or create an account.
• Points programs, where you earn points for certain purchases that can be redeemed for discounts or coupons.

We may ask you to provide Personal Information in connection with these promotions, including your email address, name, and phone number. Because these promotions involve the collection of Personal Information, they may be interpreted as "financial incentive" programs under California law or "bona fide loyalty programs" under Colorado law. We use this information for the purposes described above under the section titled "Notice at Collection of Personal Information," including for targeted advertising. We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in our "Notice at Collection of Personal Information," including data analytics providers, advertising technology vendors, and social media platforms.

Participation in any financial incentive is optional. To enroll, please click here. You may withdraw from any of our financial incentive programs at any time by emailing [email protected]. To stop receiving our coupons or discounts in your email, you may unsubscribe from our emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" button at the bottom of any such email. If you ask us to delete your Personal Information, we will not be able to provide you with access to these programs.

The value of any financial incentive we offer is reasonably related to the value of any Personal Information you provide to us. We estimate the value of your Personal Information by considering, without limitation, the expenses we incur from collecting your Personal Information and/or providing the financial incentive to you, the revenue generated by your use of the financial incentive, and any improvements we can make to our products and services based on aggregating information obtained through the financial incentive program.

Please note that we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive. If applicable, those terms will be presented to you at sign up.
