We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie automatically collected information to your personal information that we collect through other sources or that you provide to us.

Advertising.

 Notwithstanding any other provision, we partner with third parties (third party providers and advertisers, collectively known as “Advertisers” as such terms are defined below) that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device or directly in our emails / communications, and we may share personal information with them, as permitted by law and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our partners may link the personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalized marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website. To learn more about interest-based advertising in general and to opt out, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that an ad network may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via the Website, the services or on third-party websites. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative website at www.networkadvertising.org, which offers information about internet advertising companies and how to opt out of their information collection.

Do Not Track Disclosure.

Additionally, although some internet browsers have a ‘do not track’ feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.

How We Protect Your Information

The Company uses a combination of industry standard security measures to safeguard your personal information against theft and misuse.

Our Website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL encryption) on all web pages where personal information is required. In order to make credit card purchases you need to use an SSL-enabled browser to protect confidentiality of your personal and credit card information.

While we make every effort to protect your information, nothing in this privacy policy shall be interpreted as a guarantee or representation that our security measures will prevent unauthorized third parties from obtaining your personal information. It is your responsibility to take precautions to protect your personal data on the Internet. Such steps can include the creation of a unique password that you do not use on other websites and that is a combination of numbers and letters, and making sure to use a secure web browser.

We may without restriction disclose aggregated information about our users and information that does not identify any individual.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To our subsidiaries and affiliates. Information shared with such subsidiaries and affiliates will be handled and protected in a manner consistent with this policy.
  • To contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you give us an e-mail address to use the “e-mail a friend” feature of our Website, we will transmit the contents of that e-mail and your e-mail address to the recipients.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, change in control, or other sale, transfer, or other action with respect to of some or all of Company assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Company about the Website users is among the assets affected.
  • If we were previously authorized or are otherwise permitted by law to share your personal information with our affiliates and Advertisers to provide you with information that may be relevant to you, including for their own marketing purposes.
  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
