What Information Do We Collect And Process?

We collect two types of information about and from you, as described in this Privacy Policy. Generally speaking, information that identifies you individually is referred to as “Personal Information,” and information that doesn’t identify you individually but is generated as a result of your activity or use of our Sites is referred to as “Usage Information.” Personal Information and Usage Information together are referred to as “Information.”

Please refer to this policy regularly.

When Is Personal Information Collected?

Generally, we collect and process only Information you voluntarily provide to us other than Usage Information (like your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address) which is collected automatically as discussed below under the caption “What Usage Information is Collected?”  For some areas of our Sites, however, we require you to provide Personal Information.  If you choose not to provide us with the Personal Information that we legitimately require to provide our Sites, we may be unable to provide you with the information or services you have requested.

We may use third party service providers to collect this information.

If you submit any Personal Information relating to another person, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Please know that you can opt-out of providing Personal Information by not entering it when asked. If Personal Information is required in order to allow us to provide our services or respond to your inquiry, we generally will send a notice advising you of this. If you do not provide us with some or all of the requested information, we may not be able to provide the services or requested information. We will send such communications in accordance with applicable law.

What Usage Information Is Collected?

We define “Usage Information” as any information or data about or from you that does not reveal your specific identity such as your name, home or email address, social security number or financial information. Usage Information is generally data and information automatically collected about your equipment, browsing actions, patterns and activity as you interact with our Sites, including but not limited to the following types of information:

• Browser and device information, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”)  address, type of device you are using, its operating system and browser;
• Information about your browsing activities (pages you visit, features you use, emails and ads that you view, etc.) collected through automated technologies such as cookies, tracking pixels, and other automatic technologies we or our service providers may use;
• Physical location of your device;
• Mobile application usage information from the use of any mobile app we may provide; and
• Aggregated de-identified data that is non-personal, statistical information.

 

We may use third party service providers to collect this information.

 

How Is Usage Information Collected and Used?

We, and our service providers (which are third party companies that work on our behalf to provide and enhance our Sites) automatically collect Usage Information about your device and how you interact with our Sites in a number of ways including but not limited to the following:

• Through server log files and your IP Address.  In the process of administering our Sites, we maintain and track usage through web server logs. These logs provide information such as what type of browsers are accessing our Sites, what pages receive high traffic and the times of day our servers experience heavy traffic or high loads. When you access our Sites, our server logs automatically record certain activity and information from the device that you are using such as your IP Address. Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your internet service provider and may be identified and logged automatically in our server logs whenever a user of that device accesses our Sites, along with the time of the visit and the pages visited. We use IP addresses to administer our Sites, track users’ movements, determine use levels, analyze trends, diagnose server problems and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  This helps us to improve the content and navigation features of our Sites, identify future features or functions to develop for the Sites and to provide better service or a better user experience.
• Through your browser or device. When you access our online Sites, certain information is collected by the browser you are using or automatically through the device you are using including your Media Access Control (MAC) address which is a hardware address unique to the network card installed on your device and other unique device identifiers, such as the type of device you are using, its operating system, and the browser the device is using.
• By using cookies.  We use “cookies” on our Sites to help us better serve you each time you return. A cookie is a small text file that a website or email may send to your browser and which is generally stored by your computer or device.  Using cookies allows us to collect information about how many people have visited our Sites, the time spent on our Sites, what web pages were viewed,  other usage or traffic data. We use this information to better serve all of our online visitors and improve the content and design of our Sites.  The cookies we and our service providers use serve the following  purposes:

 

 

 

• Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Sites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas and our shopping cart.
• Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Sites but are non-essential. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
• Analytics and customization cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Sites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us deliver you a more customized shopping experience.
• Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
• Social networking cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Sites through third party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too.

 

 

 

 

 

Controlling Cookies. Your browser may give you the ability to block or otherwise control cookies.  How you do so, however, depends on your browser and the type of cookie.  Certain browsers can be set to reject all browser cookies (but not essential cookies).  If you configure your computer to block all cookies or choose when requested to not accept any cookies, you may not be able to access all or certain parts or functions of our Sites. If you block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking that we have described in this policy will stop.  If you continue without changing your settings, we will assume that you are happy to receive all cookies used.  You can change your cookie settings at any time.  For more information about cookies, including how to set your internet browser to reject cookies please go to www.allaboutcookies.org, visit www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/... or go to the help menu within the internet browser on your device.

 

• By using tracking pixels (web beacons).  Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Tracking pixels are also sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear Gifs and may be used on our Sites, in emails or other electronic communications we send or have sent for us by our service providers.  Tracking pixels are similar in function to cookies in that they are used to track online movements.  In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer hard drive, tracking pixels and web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded invisibly on web pages, emails or other electronic communications. We may use these for example to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients or if any web links contained in an electronic communication have been opened.  This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We may tie the information gathered by web beacons in emails to our customers' personal information.
• By using flash technologies such as Adobe Flash. We may also use flash technologies (Flash local stored objects) to collect and store more complex data related to your use of the Sites such as to remember your settings, preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Sites. Flash technologies operate differently than regular browser cookies and generally cannot be managed, removed or blocked via your regular web browser settings. Flash technologies may be connected with, or managed by you, through the use of the flash player you are using.  If you want to manage or control flash technologies, generally you can manage and control these through the settings of the flash player you are using. Limiting the acceptance of flash cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some flash applications and parts of our Sites.
• When you use our App. When we offer a mobile application and you download it, we may track and collect your mobile application usage data, such as the date and time your device accesses our servers, what features or functionality of the app you use, the unique identifier for your mobile device, and what information and files have been downloaded/uploaded to the app.
• Through the use of metadata and other advertising activities online. We may advertise in a number of ways, including in our emails to you (as described above) and through third party services we engage such as through our managed social media presences or third party ad-server providers (e.g., Google Ads).  Certain information about your use of our Sites and these third party services may be collected by us or the provider of the third party services using the tracking technologies described above across time and across websites or services. The information collected may include information about your online activities such as IP addresses, pages viewed and visited, search engine referrals, and browsing activities across time and across other websites and is used by us and them for purposes such as to associate different devices you use, deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on our Sites and certain of third party services, and to understand how our advertising campaigns are performing.
• Perform analytics; and
• Assist with security and administrative functions. 

 

Controlling web beacons.  In some cases, tracking pixels can generally be disabled by setting your browser to be in text mode only. There are also browser add-ons and extensions that specifically block web beacons. If you object to web beacons in emails, we recommend that you follow the instructions for disabling cookies above. We will still know how many of our emails are opened and we will automatically receive your IP address or other unique device identifier; but we will not identify you as an individual.

 

 

Controlling Adobe Flash. To learn more about how to manage flash technologies, such as Adobe Flash, you can visit the Adobe Site and follow the directions provided by Adobe with respect to the Adobe Flash settings and make changes as directed therein.

 

• By using analytics providers. We use Google Analytics to provide third party web analytics services on our Sites to collect and store non-individually identifiable information about visitors to our Sites and in the future may use others. The information collected by various tracking technologies described above including cookies, tracking pixels/web beacons and flash-cookies may be used by these third party service providers to evaluate your usages of the Sites, including the website from which you arrive, analyzing usage trends of our Sites, and report on activities and trends. This is generally done in the aggregate to capture usage and volume statistics and through statistical reports. We do not gain access to this data. We are provided with statistical and analytics only. 
• Through location information. We may collect and process the physical location of your device from which our Sites are accessed through cell phone towers, satellites or Wi-Fi signals when you enable location-based services through your device. We may use this information to provide you with personalized location-based services, advertising or content based on that location. You may be permitted to allow or deny such collection and/or uses of your device’s location, but, if you deny such collection and/or use, we may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.

 

Controlling Google Analytics.  To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data generated by your use of the Sites (including your IP address for analytics), you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

 

 

For further information on the tracking technologies used by third party services we may use, please see the sections below captioned “Third Parties” and in particular “Third Party Services,” “Use of Interest-Based Advertising” and “Controlling and Opt-out of Interest-Based Ads”.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these Third Party Sites. These Third Party Sites may use tracking technologies (like the cookies and pixels/web beacons described in Usage Information above) to independently collect information about you and may solicit information from you. The information collected by these third parties whether through our Sites or the Third Party Site remain subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they collect, how they use it, and how they share it (including with us) and your rights and choices regarding your information on the Third Party Site. Please read the privacy policies of these Third Party Sites.

 

Use of Third Party Services

 

Our Sites may allow you to connect our Sites to a Third Party Site or we may offer our Sites through a Third Party Site (“Third Party Services”).

Please read the privacy policy of these Third Party Services. Some examples of Third Party Services we include the following:

 

·       Liking and Sharing. We may embed a pixel on our Sites that allows you to “like” or “share” information or content on our Sites through a Third Party Service, including social networks such as Facebook. If you choose to engage with such Third Party Service through our Sites, we may collect any information you have authorized the Third Party Service to share with us (such as your user ID, billing information, public profile information, e-mail address, and other account and profile data).

Interest-Based Ads, or personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information gathered from your interaction with our Sites and/or on Third Party Services. These third party ad-serving companies use tracking technologies (cookies, tracking pixels and other technologies) on our Sites and Third Party Services to track your activities across time and on website or services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you on our Sites and Third Party Services. Cookies enable these ad providers to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on our Sites and other sites.

Some browsers have incorporated a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. These features, when turned on, send a signal that you prefer that the website you are visiting not collect and use data regarding your online searching and browsing activities. As there is not yet a common understanding on how to interpret the DNT signal, we currently do not respond to DNT signals on our Site.
