- Mailing address;

The information that you provide in each case will vary.

When providing your Personal Information, please provide only relevant information and do not provide unnecessary sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, credit card information or other sensitive personal data, unless required for our services. Additionally, we may ask you to create a username and password that should only be known to you.
Because your credit card security is a high priority for us, we have taken reasonable steps to ensure your payment information is processed confidentially and securely through a trusted third party.
Automated Information Collection
In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Website. We collect this information using automated tools that are detailed below. These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Website. Some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:
- Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your device’s hard drive. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use either (or both) of them:
- Session cookies, which do not stay on your device after you close your browser, and
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until you delete them or they expire.
We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as maintaining a record of your purchased items (e.g., a shopping cart), cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information on how you use our Website to help us understand how you arrive at our Website, browse or use our Website, and highlight areas where we can improve, such as navigation. The data stored by these cookies never shows personal details from which your individual identity can be established.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make such as the country from which you visit our Website, your preferred language, and your search parameters. This information can then be used to provide you with an experience more appropriate to your selections and to make your visits to our Website more tailored to your preferences. The information in these cookies may be anonymized. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies: These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. The cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks. These cookies remember the websites you visit, and that information is shared with other parties, such as advertisers.
Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings. However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Website’s features or lose access to some functionality.
- Google Analytics. One of our trusted third parties is Google Analytics. The Website sends aggregated, non-Personal Information to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Website’s performance. For more information on how Google Analytics supports the Website and uses information sent from the Website, please review Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server, allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails. We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of the third-party marketers we engage with may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Website. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information. Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.
- Embedded Web Links. Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients. Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
- Third-party Websites and Services. We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Website and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.
Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences
We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested. If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed. Transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.
When you create an account on the Platform or purchase a device, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you email newsletters and marketing emails regarding our products and services. After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email. Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing, you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.
Additionally, by providing your email address, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you marketing messages and emails through Facebook. You may opt out at any time by following the instructions provided in our communications with you. To learn more about Facebook’s privacy practices, please review Facebook’s privacy policy available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
Any such communications you receive from us will be administered in accordance with your preferences and this Policy.
Accuracy and Access to Your Personal Information
We strive to maintain and process your information accurately. We have processes in place to maintain all of our information in accordance with relevant frameworks and take steps to verify Personal Information as it is collected. We encourage you to verify and update your Personal Information in your account from time to time. You may also contact us using the contact information below and request that we update, modify, or delete your Personal Information. Please note that if you request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or lease your Personal Information to others except as described in this Policy. We may share your Personal Information with our affiliated companies. We may also share your Personal Information with others who perform services for us, but only to the extent necessary to provide these services. These service providers are prohibited from using your Personal Information for any purpose other than to perform the services we have engaged them to provide.
Third-party Websites
Our Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including social media websites. If you follow these links, you will leave the Website. A link to a third-party website does not imply that we endorse or are affiliated with the third-party website. Please note that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Protecting Your Information
We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Despite these measures, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your Personal Information for improper purposes.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised Policy on this page and update the date at the top of the page. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our Website before the changes take effect.
