2. WHAT DATA ARE WE COLLECTING

2.1 Information Collected Automatically. We collect certain information automatically as you use our Site and Store, including your IP address, geolocation, browser type, the site from where you navigated to our Site and Store, time and date of using the Site or Store, your computer operating system, the name of your Internet service provider (ISP), and the pages on our Site or Store that you viewed. This information is anonymous and we do not link it to your personally identifiable information.

2.2 Cookies. When you visit our Site or Store, we send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other device. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website/webstore. When you visit the site or store again, the cookie allows the site or store to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences, and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, tracking user trends, and providing relevant advertising to you.

2.3 Pixel Tags, Web Beacons. We may use “pixel tags”, also known as “web beacons”, which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our Website and Webstore. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears, the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears, the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed, the type of browser that fetched the pixel tag, and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable email, we may use “format sensing” technology which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received and opened our email.

3. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

3.1 To Provide Products, Services, And Information. As described above, we collect information from you so that we can provide products and services that you purchase using the Website and Webstore as well as provide other information that you may request from us. We use your personal information to contact you about your orders and ship products to you. We may provide information to third party service providers who offer us assistance in bringing you the services we offer. For example, we may use third parties to help host our Website and Webstore, send out email updates about the Site or Store, remove repetitive information from our user list, and process payments. These service providers may have access to your personal information to use for a limited time, but when this occurs, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information as they help us provide the service you request. We use demographic information to better understand our customers and improve our products and services.

3.2 Online Account. When you create an online account, you can store your personal information and use it later as you purchase products on our Webstore. You can also view your current orders, order status, and order history.

3.3 Newsletters. In the event you sign up to receive newsletters, product updates, promotions, or other communication from us, we’ll use your email address and other relevant personal information to provide such information and communication to you. You will be given the opportunity to “opt out” from receiving email newsletters, product updates, promotions, and other communications.

3.4 Advertising. We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest based advertising to you. Interest based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behavior in order to provide you with information more tailored to your interests.
