Your use of the Sites or Services following any additions, modifications or updates to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
In connection with the Sites and Services, we may collect the following categories of information:

You may choose not to provide certain information to us, but as a result you may not be able to take advantage of some of the features of the Sites or Services.
We may also collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Sites and Services automatically, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Sites, how long a visitor stays on that page, and the hyperlinks visitors click. We collect this information by using cookies, log files and other similar technologies (as further described below in the section of this Privacy Policy entitled ‘Cookies, Log Files and Similar Technologies’). This information represents a generic overview of visitors to our Sites and users of our Services.
We may use the information that we collect in order to:
- provide and administer the Sites and Services;
- personalize the Sites or Services for you;
- process and fulfill any orders you place through the Sites and Services, and to keep you informed regarding the status of your order;
- enable your access to and use of the Sites and Services;
- improve, modify or enhance the Sites or Services, including our user experience;
- conduct and facilitate surveys, contests, focus groups and market research initiatives;
- recruitment (if you apply for a role via our website, we will process your information in order to facilitate the application process);
- perform data analytics (e.g., trend analysis, financial analysis and customer segmentation);
- engage in ad retargeting and evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, including through our participation in ad networks;
- process, evaluate and respond to requests, inquiries and applications;
- create, administer and communicate with you about your account;
- detect and prevent potentially illegal acts, violations of our policies, fraud and/or data security breaches;

- send you communications, including marketing communications.
We may also combine information we obtain through the Sites and Services with other information for the purposes described above. We may aggregate or anonymize such information and use it for the purposes described above, and for other purposes to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
We do not disclose your information to third parties, except:
- when we have your permission to make the disclosure;
- where the disclosure is necessary for the purpose for which the information was obtained;
- to our third party service providers in order to provide services to us (including marketing communications, email delivery, targeted advertisements, fraud investigations, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, providing customer support, payment processing, and other business operations);
- to our affiliates, subsidiaries and related content to provide joint content and services, and for their business purposes;
- where permitted by applicable law or when the disclosure is necessary, in our discretion, for the establishment or maintenance of legal claims or legal compliance, to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena or government request, or in connection with litigation; or
- as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, in the event we are acquired by, or merge or consolidate into, another entity, or if there is a sale of our assets (including in bankruptcy), your information may be transferred to the entity acquiring us or our assets or that survives the merger or consolidation. You acknowledge and agree that in the foregoing circumstances, your information may be disclosed to such third party.
We also use third-party service providers to process payments through our Sites and Services. We do not collect any information related to payment transactions (e.g., your credit card number); only our third-party payment providers collect such information.
As mentioned above, we may use cookies, log files and similar technologies to collect certain information regarding your use of the Sites and Services. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a website’s servers and stored on your computer’s hard drive which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies do not identify specific users, only a user’s device. We use cookies to track and record user session information. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a new cookie or to disable cookies. However, this may hinder performance of the Sites or Services, and prevent you from using certain features.
The Sites and Services also may use log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track a user’s movement around the Sites and Services, and gather demographic information.
To control which web servers place and access cookies and collect information automatically, we place tags on our webpages called “web beacons”, which are small files that allow us to understand the actions of visitors to our Sites. We use similar technology in marketing emails we send, which may enable the placing or accessing of cookies, and also enable us to know if you received the email, if the email was opened and if you clicked on any links included in the email.
In addition to our own cookies, log files and similar technologies, we may engage third parties (such as Google and Facebook) to use their cookies, log files and similar technologies to report to us usage statistics of the Sites and Services, deliver advertisements on and through the Sites and Services, and for other similar purposes. Google Analytics, for example, uses cookies to track your interactions with our Sites and Services. Google collects information and reports it to us, without identifying individual users. This information helps us improve our Sites and Services so that we can better serve users. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
You have the right to opt out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting. Please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.com for additional information regarding such rights and how to exercise them.
We use security measures that we, in our discretion, deem appropriate for the type of information that is provided by you. However, since no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information stored. We also cannot guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
The Sites and Services may include links to other websites or applications offered or made available by third parties (each, a “Third Party Site”). We do not control or endorse any Third Party Site. You agree that your use of a Third Party Site is at your own risk and that we are not responsible for the availability or contents of any Third Party Site. We recommend that you review the privacy policy applicable to each such Third Party Site.
At this time, we do not respond to browser ‘Do Not Track’ signals.
We do not knowingly collect any information about children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information from a child under the age of thirteen, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information.
In addition to any other applicable provisions of this Privacy Policy, (1) if you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”). This section describes those rights and how to exercise them. As used in this section, the term “personal information” has the meaning given it in the CCPA.
