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 details 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 to discussion forums or other public areas, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by completing and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. However, if you choose to engage in these activities, we may ask you to 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, date of birth, age, gender, telephone and fax numbers, short message service (SMS) or text message address or other wireless device address, and other personally identifiable information. Additionally, 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 on where you visit our site in a variety of ways. This information is collected and analyzed on both an individual and aggregate basis. This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, the type of operating system you have.
Methods of collecting and using information
You provide us with certain personally identifiable information when you: (a) register for Our services and register your email address with us or (b) send email messages, submit forms, submit comments or ratings, or transmit other information by telephone or letter. We may also collect information about 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 to prevent fraud. Our third-party ad servers will also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many advertisements were presented and clicked on our site. We may also use this information in the aggregate to analyze the use of the Site, Services, promotions, and online media, as well as to offer you specific products and services. We also reserve the right to use aggregate or group data about Our visitors for any other lawful purpose. Aggregate or group data is data that describes the demographics, use, and/or characteristics of Our visitors as a group. By visiting and/or providing your personally identifiable information through the Site and other online media, You agree to allow Us to provide such aggregate data to third parties at Our discretion, as permitted by law.
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 improve the operation of our site, fulfill orders, prevent fraud, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site usage, 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’s terms of use and this privacy policy.
We do not use automated decision-making (i.e., decision-making solely by automated means without human involvement) or profiling (i.e., automated processing of personally identifiable information to evaluate certain aspects of a person).
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 about the purpose of the processing, as well as other relevant information, before processing your information for the new purpose.
Disclosure of information and opt-out
We reserve the right to share users’ postal addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses with third parties, such as advertisers. To opt out of our sharing this information in the future, please email us at: [email protected] . We will not share users’ credit card numbers. Occasionally, We send email messages to users to inform them of features and services available on Our Sites.
Occasionally, law enforcement or judicial authorities may require us to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate government 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 to identify 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.
