You may choose to provide us with your Personal Information when you engage with certain features of our Websites. For example, when you create an account, sign up for email alerts or subscribe to receive a newsletter, participate in our promotions or surveys, contact us with questions or for support, or make a purchase, you may be asked to provide us with certain Personal Information so that we may fulfill your request.

Depending on the use case, the Personal Information you provide may include your first and last name, email address, user name, and password. If you choose to make a purchase, we will collect payment card information such as your card’s payment account number and expiration date, billing address and shipping address (we refer to this as “Order Information”). We may also ask for your phone number and email address, which we use to notify you about the status of your order and send you additional updates and promotions should you opt in to receive those.

Information We Collect Automatically:

When you visit our Websites, our servers automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, operating system of your device, language, country, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Websites, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Websites, and information about how you interact with the Websites, including how much time you spend on the Websites and the pages you visit most frequently and when. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Usage Information.”

We analyze Usage Information to help us better understand trends about how our Websites are used, to help us improve our Websites, and to help us measure the efficacy of our advertising and marketing.

We use the following technologies to help us collect Usage Information:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer. Cookies store information related to your browser to allow us to recognize the browser on return visits to our Websites. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Website, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

  • “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Websites and to understand what links are clicked. When we send you emails, these files also allow us to track which emails are opened.

When Usage Information is processed in a format that would be considered Personal Information, we treat it in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

THIRD PARTY COOKIES AND TRACKING

We use third party service providers to help us collect and understand Usage Information and to support our marketing efforts. A list of companies that use cookies on our Websites, the services they provide, and information on how you may opt out of certain cookies is included in our Cookie Notice.

We and they may use this information to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and to serve you targeted advertisements and marketing that we believe may be of interest to you.
