Information Collection

We may collect information directly from you, including personal information such as your name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number, credit card number, and other personally identifiable information, when you visit our Site, place an order online or by phone, save your information with us online, contact us with a question or concern, or participate in a contest, promotion, or survey. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of certain features. We maintain a record of your product interests and the purchases you make online or by phone. We may combine all of this information with information about you that we acquire from our joint marketing partners, and from unrelated third parties.

We also may collect information automatically when you visit the Site. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; computer and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) click stream to, through, and from the Site, including date and time; cookie number; and products you searched for or viewed. We may also use browser data on certain parts of our Site, for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Please note that any comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, and other submissions that you disclose, submit or offer to us in connection with your use of this Site (collectively "Comments"), are subject to our Privacy Policy, which explain how we may use and disclose such Comments and/or information about your demographics and use of the Site.

Information Use

We may use your information about you to operate the Site and to deliver the content and services you request. In addition, we may use information about you for other lawful purposes, including to:

  • Process and fulfill your order, including to send you emails to confirm your order status and shipment;
  • Respond to requests, Comments, or questions, and to provide customer support;
  • Communicate with you, such as by sending you information about our products, services, and promotions;
  • Learn more about your shopping preferences, to help personalize and improve your online experience;
  • Improve the Site and other products and services we may offer;

  • Protect the security and integrity of the Site, prevent fraudulent transactions or other misuse, and monitor against threats;
  • Comply with legal requirements, industry standards, and our policies; or
  • For any other purpose, with your consent.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your information, except as is described in this Notice. We may permit our agents, vendors, consultants, and other service providers to access information collected through the Site to carry out work on our behalf. For example, we may share your information with our service providers who help us to fulfill customer orders, send communications, or conduct surveys. We do not authorize these service providers to make any other use or disclosure of your information.

In the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of our assets, personal information and other information we have collected as described in this Notice may be among the transferred business assets, or may be shared with third parties as part of the transaction or negotiation.

We may release your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with any law, or to respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant. We also reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information as appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Site, or to protect anyone’s rights, property, or personal safety.

Security

Although the security of information transmitted via the Internet cannot be guaranteed, we strive to provide you with a safe and convenient shopping experience. We have implemented appropriate safeguards to protect the security and privacy of personal information we obtain through the Site. For example, when you enter your personal information on our Site, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect your information as it is transmitted to us. To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https."

Links to Other Websites

For your convenience and information, this Site may contain links to other websites that may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked Site that we do not control. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of any Site that you access through this Site.

Your Choices

You may review and change certain personal information we collect, such as your name and contact information. To access your information, simply sign in to your account using your email address and password, and you will be able to edit your personal information. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a password) to verify your identity before granting your profile access to make corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and account information at all times.

You may opt out of receiving promotional email communications from us by following the instructions provided in those communications. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications, we may continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as emails regarding your orders and other business transactions with us.

As discussed above, many web browsers include options that allow users to disable existing cookies or stop accepting new cookies. Please note that if you disable cookies certain features of this Site may not work properly, and disabling cookies may invalidate opt outs that rely on cookies to function.
