By using any of the websites you signify that you have read, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
This policy applies to all online communication with websites owned and operated by the Company. When you provide us with online information via any of the websites we respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information we collect about you during your visit. Please note that your access to, and use of, any of our websites is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.
Information we collect
In general, you can visit our websites without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. However, if you decide to make a purchase, we will ask you for your name, shipping and billing address, phone number, email address, credit card number and its expiration date. For example, we may collect certain Personal Information such as your contact information (e.g., name, e-mail address and mailing address), age group or birth date if you choose to subscribe to a mailing list, participate in special offers, to complete a user registration form, survey or sweepstakes entry form, or other promotions, or send questions or comments to us via e-mail. Sometimes we may ask you for other information such as gender, income level, and information about your prior experiences with the Company’s products. When you submit your personally identifiable information to one of our websites, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the website, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the website, how long they stay on that page and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. We collect this information in order to determine which areas of the website are most popular and to enhance the website for visitors. We may group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the website to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties.
All of our Websites are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or accept personal information provided from anyone under 18. In order to use our Websites and services you must be 18 years or older.
For some features of the website, you may be able to submit information about other people. For example, if you wish to e-mail an article from the website or send information about an interesting product to a friend, you will submit your friend’s e-mail address, or if you make a purchase for another person on the website and want it shipped directly to that person, you may submit the recipient’s name, address and certain other contact information. Company will use and store any such information that we collect from you about another person to carry out your request and for our own internal marketing purposes.
Disclosure of Personal Information
The Company may use the information that you provide to process and fulfill your request for a product, respond to your questions, send e-mails, newsletters or surveys to our mailing list subscribers, or other request. In addition, we may send you periodic communications by e-mail or regular mail, such as news updates, special promotional offers or information on our products or services which may be of interest to you.
We may also make your name, email/mailing address and/or telephone number available to carefully selected third parties to provide you with information about products, services and special offers or to improve our services and advertising. We may sometimes use other businesses to perform certain services for us, such as maintaining the website and our mailing lists, processing orders and delivering products, and providing marketing assistance and data analysis.
We want to communicate with you via email correspondence only if you want to hear from us. We may from time to time send you promotional email messages describing new products, special offers, and great values. If for any reason you would no longer like to receive email messages from the Company please e-mail us to opt-out at: [email protected]. Please note, if you decide opt-out, you may still receive transactional emails regarding your order (i.e. order confirmation, shipping information, customer service notifications, etc.).
We may sometimes use other businesses or individuals to perform certain services for us, such as email and hosting services, processing orders and delivering products, promotional services, to assist in preventing or deterring fraud, providing marketing assistance and data analysis, etc. We may share personal information to those businesses when that information is necessary for them to complete a requested transaction or otherwise perform their duties, but they may not use it for any other purpose.
We do not share your credit card or other account information with unaffiliated third parties unless you authorize us to do so, or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities including, but not limited to, delivering a product or service that you order.
The Company may disclose personally identifiable information in the following situations:
(1) when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use, causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights of the Company or property or site participants, or to anyone that could be harmed by such activities;
(2) when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, and improve our products and services;
(3) to any third party who may acquire the Company;
(4) in situations involving threats to the physical safety of any person or as otherwise dictated by law.
