Cookies, Beacons and Analytics

When you interact with the Site, we strive to make your experience easy and meaningful. Our Site uses technology, or those of third-party service providers, such as cookies, web beacons (clear GIFs, web bugs) and similar technologies to track user activity and collect site data. We may combine this data with the Personal Information we have collected from you.

Cookies

We (including our chosen third-party service providers) use cookies to track visitor activity on the Site. A cookie is a text file that a website transfers to your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Our cookies assign a random, unique number to each visitor’s computer. They do not contain information that would personally identify the visitor, although we can associate a cookie with any identifying information that is or has been provided to us while visiting the Site. We use cookies that remain on your computer for a specified period of time or until they are deleted (persistent cookies). We may also use cookies that exist only temporarily during an online session (session cookies) – these cookies allow us to identify you temporarily as you move through the Site. Most browsers allow users to refuse cookies but doing so may impede the functionality of some portions of our Site.

Web Beacons

Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, Web beacons are embedded invisibly on webpages and may not be disabled or controlled through your browser.

Third Parties

As noted, we may also engage third parties to track and analyze Site activity on our behalf. To do so, these third parties may place cookies or web beacons to track user activity on our Site. We use the data collected by such third parties to administer and improve the quality of the Site, analyze usage of the Site, and provide a more enhanced user experience on the Site, such as personalizing and delivering relevant offers and content based on user activity on the Site. We do not provide these third parties with your Personal Information.

User Content

The Site allows users to post information. Any information that you post to the Site becomes public information and may be viewable by other users, as well as visitors to the Site. In addition, your name, as well as other optional information you choose to submit along with the information you post, will be publicly displayed along with your comment or blog. We are not responsible for the privacy of any information that you choose to post to the Site, or for the accuracy of any information contained in those postings. We cannot prevent such information from being used by others in a manner that may violate this Privacy Policy, the law, or your personal privacy. Your posting of any content to any of the Site is subject to our Terms of Use.

Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to other, third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but, instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.

Email Policy

We may use your email address to communicate with you about orders you have placed, inquiries you have made about our products and services, or information you have shared with us through the Site or email. We may send you emails from time-to-time, about information that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also send you news and offers about our products and services, or those of our chosen partners.

If, at any time, you would like to stop receiving these promotional e-mails, you may follow the opt-out instructions contained in any such e-mail. Please note that it may take a few business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails or promotions, we still may send you e-mails to you in accordance with this Privacy Policy, as requested by you, or in reference to other customer service purposes.

CCPA

The “California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018” or “CCPA” became effective January 1, 2020. The CCPA grants California consumers new rights related to their personal information. The CCPA affords California consumers new rights to transparency about data collection including rights to control access and use of their personal information. We do not sell your Personal Information. We do share some of your information with our trusted service providers, to market our services and operate the Site. We do not allow these third parties to use your information for their own purposes.

International Users & GDPR

We have implemented safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection where your Personal Information is transferred outside of the EEA, such as by means of our customer data processing addendum by means of which we implement the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Personal Information as approved by the European Commission (Article 46 GDPR).
