Types of Information Collected
In order to better provide You with Our Site, We collect two types of information about Our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from You is to provide You with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using Our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets Us know the specifics of who You are. When You engage in certain activities on this Site, such as registering for an account, ordering a product or service, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, or sending Us feedback, We may ask You to provide certain information about You by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for You to engage in these activities. If You elect to engage in these activities, however, We may ask that You provide Us with Personally Identifiable Information, such as Your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, employer, job title and department, birth date, age, gender, telephone and facsimile numbers, short message service (SMS) or text message address or other wireless device address, and other personal identifying information. In addition, We may collect certain other Personally Identifiable Information, including Your IP address when You use Our Site.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about You based upon where You visit on Our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both an individual and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website that You just came from, which URL You next go to, what browser You are using, the type of operating system You have.
Collection Methods and Use of Information
You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to Us when You: (a) register for Our Services and register Your email address with Us or (b) send email messages, submit forms, submit comments or rankings, or transmit other information by telephone or letter. We may also collect information from You at other points on Our Site.
In addition, We may also collect, or Our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use Your IP address to diagnose problems with Our servers, software, to administer Our Site and prevent fraud. Our third party ad servers will also provide Us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell Us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at Our Site. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze usage of the Site, Services, promotions and online media, as well as to offer You targeted products and services. We also reserve the right to use aggregate or group data about Our visitors for any other lawful purposes. Aggregate or group data is data that describes the demographics, usage and/or characteristics of Our visitors as a group. By visiting, and/or supplying Your Personally Identifiable Information via the Site and other online media, You agree to allow Us to provide such aggregate data to any third parties at Our discretion, as lawfully permitted.
We will primarily use Your Personally Identifiable Information to provide Our Services to You, as required by Our agreements with You. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of Our Site, fill orders, prevent fraud, improve Our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve Our product and service offerings, and customize Our Site’s content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to You and to contact You regarding administrative notices. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce Our agreements with You, including Our Site Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
We do not use automatic decision-making (i.e., making decisions solely by automated means without any human involvement) or profiling (i.e., automated processing of Personally Identifiable Information to evaluate certain aspects of an individual).
Where We intend to process Your information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected, We will provide You with information regarding the purpose for the processing, as well as other relevant information, prior to processing Your information for the new purpose.
Release of Information and Opt-Out
We reserve the right to share the postal addresses, phone numbers or email addresses of users with third parties, such as advertisers. To prevent Us from sharing this information in the future, please email Us at: [email protected]. We will not share users’ credit card numbers. Occasionally, We send e-mail messages to users to inform them of features and services available on Our Sites.
Occasionally We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use Our Services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that We in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related Site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when You visit Our Site. These companies may use information (not including Your name, address, email address or telephone number) about Your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to You.
