Automatic Data Collection

When you interact with our Website, certain computer information is automatically gathered based on the interaction between your web browser or mobile device and our Website. This information is typically classified as NPI. It may include the following:

• Cookies: Our Website utilizes Google Analytics and "Cookies" to track the sections of our Website you have visited. Aside from approximate location (IP address), the data collected by Google Analytics is mostly anonymous traffic data, including browser information, device information, and language.

The information gathered by Web Beacons allows us to monitor email open rates but is not used to track your activity beyond our Website. We do not link NPI from Web Beacons to PII without your consent.

This data includes the source website you accessed our Website from (if applicable) and the destination website you're headed to when leaving our Website. It also comprises the IP address of your computer/proxy server used for internet access, your Internet Service Provider name, web browser type, mobile device type, and computer operating system. We utilize this information for analyzing user trends and enhancing our Website.

Utilization of Information

We use the PII you provide for internal purposes, such as providing our services to you, confirming and tracking your orders, subscriptions, or registrations, conducting statistical and demographic analysis, and keeping you informed about new products, services, and offers from us and our affiliates. Our affiliates may have products, services, or offers that align with your interests, and they may use the PII we have for contacting you. If you wish not to receive communications from our affiliates, you can notify us to discontinue contact on their behalf.

We may also merge the information you provide online or through printed forms with publicly available data and data received from other parties. This combined information enhances your online experience and informs you about new products, services, offers, and promotions. To provide you with the best possible service, we may employ our affiliates to provide contracted services for our business, including but not limited to credit card processing, website hosting, product shipping, and advertising. In many cases, we will need to provide some or all of the PII you provide to our affiliates to enable them to perform these services. Our affiliates are authorized to use your PII as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

There are situations where we may need to disclose your PII to comply with state and federal laws or to assist law enforcement and government agencies in preventing or investigating fraud, other crimes, or in response to a court order. In such cases, we will provide only the requested PII, and your PII will be exclusively used for legal purposes rather than marketing.

Finally, in the event of a business sale or transfer, your PII would be transferred to the acquiring entity as appropriate, and we may also retain a copy of your PII for any new business ventures we might initiate.

You have the flexibility to update your PII at any time using the features available on our Website. If you need assistance with updating your PII or opting out of our mailing lists, please email us with your request or use the contact information provided on our Website.

Opting Out of Information Sharing

You have the option to opt out of future disclosures of your information to unaffiliated third parties. This opt-out will not affect disclosures allowed by law, including disclosures to our affiliates, third-party service providers that support our business (e.g., credit card processing), fulfillment of your requests, and disclosures required by law or related to subsequent contests, promotions, or offers you may choose to participate in or accept from third parties.

Protecting Children's Privacy

We adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). While our Website is not designed for individuals under the age of 18, we recognize that a child may attempt to access our Website.

Our Security Measures

We have implemented advanced encryption and authentication tools to secure the information you provide. When we collect your PII through our Website, it is encrypted before transmission over the Internet, adhering to industry standards for secure online transactions. Additionally, we utilize industry-standard technologies, such as secure routers and firewalls, to protect your PII from unauthorized use. However, we cannot fully guarantee secure data transmission over the Internet due to its inherent nature. Upon receiving your PII, we employ security measures to guard against loss or misuse, though we cannot offer complete protection against such events.
