This Privacy Policy applies to persons and businesses anywhere in the world that may access the Site. By using the Site or our Services, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy in full. If you do not wish to provide Personal Information or be bound by this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Site or the Services.

• INFORMATION COLLECTED
  • Our legal basis for collecting and processing your Personal Information is (i) your explicit consent when accessing the Services and (ii) a legitimate interest and need in order to provide specific Services offered on the Site, as described in our Terms of Service. We may collect the following Personal Information from users:
    1. Information You Provide Voluntarily. We regularly receive and store any information you enter on the Site or give us in any other way, whether it be through filling out a form, or through an actual communication. You may elect to not provide certain information, but such an election may prevent you from taking advantage of, and accessing many of our features. We use the information that you provide for purposes such as: responding to your communications and/or requests, customizing future experiences on the Site for you, improving our Site, and communicating with you in any other way. The types of personally identifiable information which may be collected through your use of the Site include, but are not limited to: your name, physical address, any email address, phone numbers, fax numbers, billing address, shipping address, product selections or views, order and/or confirmation numbers, financial account information, debit card numbers and expiration dates, credit card numbers and expiration dates, credit card account information, referring URLs, IP addresses, passwords, usernames, gender, occupation, personal interests, your age and information about your hobbies, likes, interests in and regular use of certain products, programs and other services you use or may be interested in. You voluntarily provide the above personally identifiable information to us when you enter such information on the Site, whether input with the intention of facilitating a purchase, payment, newsletter subscription, promotion or contest and/or any other special offers or benefits.  You are the source of this information.  
    2. Information Provided Automatically. Upon your use or interaction with the Site, we automatically receive and store certain types of information. We obtain certain types of information when the browser you are using accesses the Site or advertisements therein, and other content served on the Site itself, or on behalf of the Site through other web sites.
       • Non-Personal Information: We collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available upon their interaction with Sites.  This information may include such things as the browser type used during the interaction, the language preference, the referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request.
       • Your IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a unique identifying code which is used in connecting your computer to the Internet. Your IP Address may be used for various purposes, including to: (i) help us identify you, and your purchase orders, and to gather general and broad demographic information; (ii) help us diagnose or service technology problems that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific Web company or ISP; (iii) help us estimate the total number of users visiting the Site located in certain geographic locations; and (iv) help us determine which users have access privileges or restrictions to certain content available on the Site.
       • Device Identifier: We may provide services that allow users to visit, view, access and customize the Site and other content through the use of their mobile devices such as:  phones, PDAs and other similar electronic devices. When the Site is accessed through these devices rather than a computer, different information may be collected. When you visit or connect with the Site through the use of a mobile device that has Internet accessibility, in the event that the mobile device service provider uniquely identifies the device, we will be able to receive this identifying information. We may use this unique device information to be able to offer extended services and/or functionality. Certain services, offers you elect to enroll in, or purchases you wish to make through the Site may require the collection of the phone number for your device. We may associate and categorize the phone number collected along with the mobile device information.
       • Your Physical Location: Some mobile phone service providers in the United States are required to operate using a certain functionality which pinpoints the physical location of any mobile devices currently using their service. Depending upon which service provider your device is enrolled with, and if you are visiting the Site while you are located in the United States, we may automatically receive this information. We may use and store such information received in order to assist us in providing opportunities for services based on your location, as well as to assist with advertising which is targeted based on location. 
       • Web Cookies: For advertising and other purposes as described below, we use a feature in your Internet Web browser called a “cookie,” which is a piece of information stored on your hard drive, that identifies your intra- and inter-requests on the Site. Cookies may be used for various purposes, including the tracking of your preferences which you indicate while visiting or using the Site. If you wish to disable the use of cookies, please review the Help section of your Internet browser, and review the instructions therein on how to turn off this feature. You can also indicate your choices regarding display advertising, through the use of specific platforms, which include but may not be limited to the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out platform or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out platform.

         • allaboutcookies.org; or 
         • youronlinechoices.eu
       • Beacons: Web pages included on the Site may contain e-images called a “Web beacon,” also known as a “single-pixel GIF,” which allow a Site to count the number of users who have visited that particular page or to access specific cookies and the information contained therein. We may use such Web beacons for the following purposes:  (a) to count and determine the number of users and to recognize such users through the accessing of Site cookies, (b) to count, determine, and recognize the number of users who have opened or read emails sent to the user by us, and (c) to assist in personalizing your interaction with the Site to make the experience more efficient and enjoyable for you.
