Privacy Policy

You may choose to voluntarily provide other information to us that we do not request, and in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.

In addition, we collect other information automatically when you use the Websites, including IP addresses, Ad Id, aggregate user data, site usage information, emails and advertisements you view, products you view and purchase, time of day you browse, your referring and exiting pages, and browser type, operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings to help diagnose problems with our server, manage and improve the Websites, track usage, and for security and monitoring purposes. This information aids us in merchandizing and improving the design and layout of the Websites. We also collect imprecise location data (such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level).

We also collect information from other sources. The following are the categories of sources from which we collect information:

• Consumer or users of the Websites.
• Data brokers or resellers from which we purchase data to supplement the data we collect.
• Social networks when you engage with our content, reference our Websites, or grant us permission to access information from the social networks.
• Partners that offer co-branded services, sell or distribute our products, or engage in joint marketing activities.
• Publicly-available sources, including data in the public domain.

• Log Files, which are files that record events that occur in connection with your use of the Websites;
• Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our Websites and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Websites. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. To learn more about how we use cookies, please see our cookie policy here.
• Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded in a website, video, email or advertisement that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from separate entities that allow us track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Websites, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Websites with your social media account.
• Website heat maps, which is code embedded in a website that sends user movement data to a server. Website heat maps include scroll maps, clicks maps, and move maps. We use website heat maps to help us determine the most popular and unpopular areas of our website and to help us better understand how users interact with our website.
• Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of data elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.
• App Technologies, which are technologies included in our apps that are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our apps may include SDKs, which is code that sends information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Websites, and provide you with additional functionality.
• Location-Identifying Technologies, which are technologies used to collect your location. For example, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth may be used to collect precise location data when you consent to precise location tracking through our apps. Location data may be used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.

Our business purposes for collecting and using information include: (1) processing your orders and other requests; (2) responding to your comments, questions, and requests, and providing customer service; (3) contacting you to confirm your order, including sending you emails to acknowledge your order and confirm your order status and shipment or if there is a difficulty in completing or shipping your order; (4) responding to your requests; (5) administering contests and other promotions in which you participate; (6) improving your customer experience and our marketing efforts, products and services; (7) enforcing this Privacy Policy or the Websites Terms of Use; (8) developing and sending you marketing, including, newsletters and advertisements; (9) sending you promotional emails; (10) informing you of new products, services and offers; (11) operating and managing the Websites, including your registration and account; (12) sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, information regarding changes to our policies, and support and administer messages; (13) preventing and addressing fraud and threats of harm; (14) monitoring and analyzing trends, usage, and activities; (15) conducting research, including focus groups; and (16) fulfilling any other business or commercial purposes at your direction or with your notice and/or consent.

For example, we place ads through Google and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services.

As part of this process, we may incorporate tracking technologies into our own Websites (including emails) as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services.

We also use audience matching services to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Websites or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us uploading a customer list to a technology service or incorporating a pixel from a technology service into our own Websites, and the technology service matching common factors between our data and their data. For instance, we incorporate the Facebook pixel on our Websites and may share your email address with Facebook as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences.
