Privacy Policy
Our privacy policy may be updated without prior notice. We advise you to regularly review this policy to stay informed about any modifications.
By using or accessing our website, you acknowledge and agree to abide by the terms and conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please refrain from using or accessing our website. Your use of the website implies your explicit consent to our handling and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is an integral part of our Terms of Use and is subject to its provisions.
Gathering Personally Identifiable Information and Additional Data
When utilizing our website, we gather and retain personal information provided by you periodically. Our primary objective in doing so is to offer you a secure, efficient, seamless, and tailored experience. This enables us to provide services and features that align closely with your requirements, and to customize our website for enhanced safety and convenience. Moreover, as part of this process, we collect personal information from you that we deem necessary to fulfill this purpose. Generally, you can explore the website without disclosing your identity or revealing any personal details about yourself. However, once you furnish us with your personal information, you are no longer anonymous to us. We strive to clearly indicate which fields are mandatory and which are optional. You always have the choice to withhold information by opting out of using a specific service or feature on the website.
We may automatically monitor certain information about you based on your interactions with our website. This data assists us in conducting internal research on our users’ demographics, preferences, and behaviors to gain a better understanding of, safeguard, and serve our users. Such information is aggregated and analyzed anonymously. It may include the URL you arrived from (whether it belongs to our website or not), the subsequent URL you visit (whether it belongs to our website or not), your browser details, and your IP address.
To analyze our web page flow, measure the effectiveness of promotions, and enhance trust and safety, we utilize data collection tools like "cookies" on specific website pages. "Cookies" are small files stored on your device's memory that aid us in delivering our services. Certain features are exclusively accessible through the use of "cookies". They also facilitate fewer password entries during a session. Additionally, cookies enable us to provide information tailored to your interests. Most cookies are temporary ("session cookies"), deleted from your hard drive once the session concludes. You have the option to decline our cookies if your browser settings permit, although this may limit certain website features and necessitate more frequent password entries during sessions. Furthermore, you may encounter "cookies" or similar devices on particular website pages placed by third parties. We do not regulate the use of cookies by third parties.
When you make purchases on our website, we gather data about your purchasing behavior. Additionally, if you engage in transactions with us, we collect supplementary information such as billing addresses, credit/debit card details, and tracking information from checks or money orders. Should you choose to post messages on our message boards, chat rooms, or other platforms, or leave feedback, we will collect the information you provide. We retain this data as required to resolve disputes, offer customer support, and address issues in accordance with applicable laws. Correspondence such as emails or letters sent by you, or correspondence about your activities or postings on the website from other users or third parties, may also be collected and stored in a file specific to you.
When you register a free account with us, we collect personally identifiable information (e.g., email address, name, phone number, credit/debit card details, etc.). While certain sections of our website are accessible without registration, some activities (e.g., placing orders) necessitate registration. We may utilize your contact information to send you offers based on your previous orders and interests.
Use of Demographic / Profile Data / Your Information
We utilize personal information to fulfill the services you request. If we use your personal information for marketing purposes, we will offer you the option to opt-out. Additionally, we use your personal information for various purposes including resolving disputes, addressing issues, ensuring a safe service, processing payments, gauging consumer interest in our products and services, informing you about online and offline offers, products, services, and updates, customizing your experience, detecting and protecting against errors, fraud, and other criminal activities, enforcing our terms and conditions, and as otherwise explained to you during data collection.
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our product and service offerings, we gather and analyze demographic and profile data about our users' activity on our website. We utilize your IP address to help diagnose server problems and administer our website. Your IP address is also utilized to help identify you and gather broad demographic information. Periodically, we may request you to complete optional online surveys. These surveys may ask for contact information and demographic details (such as zip code, age, or income level). We use this data to personalize your experience on our website, offering content we believe may interest you and displaying content according to your preferences.
Cookies, small pieces of information stored by a web server on a web browser for later retrieval, are employed by us. We deploy both permanent and temporary cookies on your device's memory storage. These cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Sharing of personal information
We may share personal information with our affiliated corporate entities. Unless you explicitly opt-out, these entities may engage in marketing activities with you as a result of such sharing. Additionally, we may disclose personal information to third parties for various reasons. This disclosure may be necessary to provide you access to our services, fulfill our legal obligations, enforce our user agreement, facilitate our marketing and advertising efforts, or prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate fraudulent or illegal activities related to our services. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing and advertising purposes without your explicit consent. However, we may disclose personal information if required by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to legal processes such as subpoenas or court orders. Furthermore, personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies, third-party rights owners, or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and privacy policy, respond to claims of rights violations by third parties, or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our users or the general public. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or restructuring involving us or our assets, we and our affiliates may share or sell some or all of your personal information with another business entity. In such instances, the receiving business entity (or the newly formed combined entity) will be obligated to adhere to this privacy policy concerning your personal information.
