Personal data that we gather
We automatically gather some information about your device when you visit the Site. This information includes the web browser you are using, your IP address, the time zone you are in, and some of the cookies you have placed on your device. In addition, we track information on the specific web pages or goods you visit, the websites or search phrases that led you to the site, and your interactions with the site as you navigate it. We term this data that is automatically gathered "Device Information."
The following technologies are used by us to gather Device Information:
"Cookies" are little data files that are stored on your computer or device and often include a unique, anonymous identification. Go to http://www.allaboutcookies.org for further details about cookies, including how to deactivate them.
- "Log files" gather information such as your IP address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps in addition to tracking activities made on the site.
- Electronic data called "web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are utilized to track how you navigate the website.
In addition, we get some information from you when you try to make a purchase on the Site, including your name, shipping address, billing address, and payment details (phone number, email address, and credit card number). This data is what we call "Order Information."
In this privacy policy, we refer to both Device Information and Order Information as "Personal Information."
How are your personal details used by us?
To complete any transactions done via the Site, we utilize the order information that we typically gather (processing your payment information, setting up delivery, and sending you bills and/or order confirmations). We also use this order information for the following purposes:
- To correspond with you;
- To check our orders for fraud or other possible risks;
- Send you information or advertisements about our goods and services when it's in keeping with the choices you've given us.
In addition to using the Device Information we gather to help us screen for fraud and potential risk (specifically, your IP address), we also use it more generally to enhance and optimize our site (by producing analytics about how users navigate and interact with the site, for example, and to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
