Five Below Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Five Below, Inc. (“Five Below,” ““we“,” ““our“,” or ““us“”) collects, uses, shares, or otherwise processes information about you, including why we process your Personal Information and your choices with respect to your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy applies to your use of our website and mobile application (“App”) and all features, content, and other services that we own, control, and make available through our website or App (collectively, the “Service”) regardless of how you access the Service.

By using the Service, you agree to our activities as described in this Privacy Policy (and in any additional privacy statements that may be applicable to the Service), and consent to our Terms of Use https://www.fivebelow.com/term. If you do not agree, please discontinue your use of the Service.

1. Personal Information We Collect

“Personal Information“ is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. Personal Information does not include information that is publicly available, de-identified, or aggregated. We collect your Personal Information in multiple ways, including when you directly provide it to us and by using certain technologies that collect it through our website and App.

Personal Information You Provide to Us

We collect Personal Information you provide to us via the Service. For example, we collect Personal Information when you register for an account, purchase products (including when you check out as a guest), sign up for our emails or text messages, complete a survey, interact with us on social media, participate in an online promotion, apply for a job, and contact customer relations.

Personal Information We Collect Through Tracking Technologies

We, and our “Partners” – the vendors, service providers, and other third parties we choose to work with – may collect certain information about you when you use the Service (“Usage Information”). This Usage Information may include your IP address; device identifier; advertising identifier; browser type; operating system details; and information about your use of the Service, such as the time and duration of your visit and how you arrived at and used our Service.

The methods that we and our Partners may use to collect Usage Information include cookies, web beacons (also known as tracking pixels), embedded scripts, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to collect information about your interactions with our Service or the emails we send you, including information about your browsing and purchasing behavior. These Tracking Technologies may include:

Cookies: A cookie is a small text file that a website transfers to your device through a web browser that enable the website’s or a third party’s systems to recognize your device and capture and remember certain information. In general, we use cookies and other Tracking Technologies as follows:
- Where necessary to run our website
- To optimize the functionality of our website
- For analytics purposes
- For purposes of ad targeting and marketing

Cookies vary in how long they last. “Session cookies” terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device until a set expiration date. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our website.

You may be able to set your browser to block or refuse cookies, but some portions of our Service may not work properly if you refuse cookies. Also, disabling cookies may disable opt-out preferences you may have entered on our website as we use cookies to identify devices that have opted out.

Web Beacons (Tracking Pixels): Web beacons are small graphic images embedded in web pages or email messages. Web beacons may be used to count the number of visitors to our Service, to monitor how users navigate our Service, and to count content views.
Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with our Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server or the web server of one of our Partners, is active only while you are connected to our Service, and then deleted or deactivated thereafter.
Device Recognition Technologies: These technologies, including the application of statistical probability to data sets as well as linking a common unique identifier to different device use (for example, Facebook ID), attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (for example, that a user of multiple devices is the same user or household).

Our Tracking Technologies and your choices about them are further explained in “Analytics Services, Advertising, and Online Tracking” at Section 6 and “Your Choices” at Section 7 below, so that you can better understand these technologies and make meaningful decisions about how you want them used to collect your Usage Information.

Information We Collect About Your Location

Our Service may access and collect your geolocation information to facilitate our provision of the Service, such as to provide you with information about stores near you or in connection with product delivery. We also may use information about the location of the device you are using to help us understand how our Service is being used and to deliver more relevant advertising. For most mobile devices and computers, you are able to block access to your location through your device or web-browser settings. If you download or use our App, and you agree to share your location information with us and to receive push notifications from us, we will be able to use your location information to send you customized notices, offers, and coupons.

Personal Information from Other Sources

We may also obtain Personal Information about you from other sources and combine that with information we collect directly about you. For example, we may obtain your Personal Information when someone purchases a gift for you or refers our Services to you. Under some circumstances, we may obtain Personal Information from other businesses that sell or otherwise make available such information. When submitting information to another company, website, app, or service, you are subject to their terms of use and privacy policies.

5. Unaffiliated Services and Social Features

Our Service may include hyperlinks to websites, platforms, applications, or other services operated by other parties (“Unaffiliated Service(s)”). These Unaffiliated Services may use their own Tracking Technologies to collect information about you and may solicit Personal Information from you.

Certain features of our Service permit you to interact with social media networks operated by other parties, for example “liking” or “following” us or our products or logging into our Service using your Facebook or Google account (“Social Features”). If you choose to “like” or share content or post information using Social Features, that information may be publicly displayed, and the party operating the social media platform may receive information about you and your use of our Service. Similarly, if you interact with us through Social Features, we may have access to information about you from the social media platform. In addition, we may track when you like us, follow us, or share our content through Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms.

Please note that if you mention Five Below, or comment about or in response to us, in your post on a social media platform, that platform may allow us to publish your post. The information processed by Unaffiliated Services remains subject to their privacy practices. You should review their terms, policies, and settings of these platforms to learn more about their data practices and adjust your own settings accordingly.

6. Analytics Services, Advertising, and Online Tracking

We may use certain third-party web analytics services to help us understand and analyze how visitors use our Service and to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. We may use this information to analyze and track user data, better understand users’ online activities, determine the popularity of certain content or products, and deliver advertising targeted to user interests. Some information about your use of our Service and other websites and services may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time, services, and devices and used to deliver relevant ads to you on our Service or on other websites and services (“Interest-Based Ads”). In addition, we may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant ads to our users on and off our Service based on their interests as reflected in profiles we and others create from collected information.

Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal automatically when you visit various websites or use online services. Like many websites, our Service is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers.

Analytics Services and Interest-Based Ads

Five Below may use Google Analytics or other chosen Partners for analytics services. We have implemented Google Analytics Advertising Features, such as advertising reporting and personalization. We and our Partners may use first-party cookies or identifiers as well as third-party cookies or identifiers to analyze how our visitors use our Service and to understand user behaviors or preferences. For example, we may use information about how visitors search for and find products to better organize and present product offerings in our stores or online. We leverage these analytics to obtain data about Service traffic and interactions, identify trends, and obtain statistics so that we can improve our Service and better market our products.

For more information about how Google Analytics uses the data it collects, visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. To opt out of Google Analytics cookies, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or download the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

Advertising cookies collect information to help better tailor ads to your interests. You may choose whether to receive certain Interest-Based Ads by submitting opt-outs.

To learn more about DAA and how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-Based Ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI).

We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any third-party opt-out choices or programs, the accuracy of any statements regarding how the opt-outs work, or how others manage their opt-out processes.

In addition, we may serve ads that are targeted to reach users on other services who are also identified as users of our Service. This is done by matching common factors between our databases and the databases of Unaffiliated Services. We are not responsible for the practices of these Unaffiliated Services or for their failure to comply with opt-out instructions or to provide us with notice of your opt-out choices made using their services.

Communications

You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in our emails or by sending an email to us here with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the email.
