Information Collection and Use
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share personal information with
service partners or other third parties (collectively, “Service Providers”). Examples of Service
Providers include payment processing companies, customer service and support providers, web
hosting and development companies, and order fulfillment companies. Our policy is to require
our Service Providers to keep your personal information confidential and to use personal
information only to perform functions for us.
We reserve the right to disclose your information to respond to authorized information requests
from governmental and judicial authorities, where we believe the disclosure is necessary in
order to comply with a regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, governmental
request or legal process served on us, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our
customers or the public, and to exercise or defend our legal rights.
On some pages of our website and our app (collectively, the “Services”), you may provide your
name, email address, as well as create a username and password. We encourage you to submit
this information so that we can provide you a more personalized experience with our Services.
We may use your information for the following purposes:
• To provide the Services to you;
• To send you communications regarding the Services;
• To notify you about special promotions or offers that may be of interest to you;
• To monitor, detect and prevent fraud or other illegal activity;
• To process payments;
• To evaluate how you and other users interact with our Services;
• To secure and debug the Services, and to identify and repair errors that impair existing
intended functionality;
• To defend ourselves in the event of legal claims or litigation; and
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Choice/Opt-out
If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, you may opt-out of receiving them by
following the instructions included in the communication.
Depending on your jurisdiction, applicable law may entitle you to additional consumer rights,
including the right (with certain limitations and exceptions) to the following:
• The right to know which categories and/or specific pieces of personal information we have
collected about you, including whether your personal information is sold or disclosed, and with
whom your personal information was shared;
• The right to access a copy of the personal information we retain about you; and
• The right to request deletion of your personal information.
We reserve the right to verify your identity in connection with any requests regarding your
personal information to help ensure that we allow only those individuals or their authorized
representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information. We may deny your request if
we cannot verify your identify. When we deny your request, we will provide an explanation of
the reasons for the denial.
We will not restrict or deny you access to the Services because of choices and requests you
make in connection with your personal information. However, certain choices may affect our
ability to provide the Services. For example, if you sign up to receive marketing communications
by email, then ask us to delete all of your information, we will be unable to send you marketing
communications.
As is true of most websites, we may gather certain information automatically and store it in log
files. This information may include users’ IP addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages,
operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We use this information, which
does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the website, to track users’
movements around the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a
whole.
Cookies and Other Tools
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We
use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for
you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent
cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We set a persistent cookie to
store your password, so you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also
enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
website.
We may also use tracking pixels, web beacons, Google Analytics, and other similar technologies
to improve your user experience with the Services, to compile statistics, manage our website, to
provide you with more relevant advertisements based on your interests, analyze trends, and to
otherwise administer and improve the Services.
Third Party Advertisers
We do not currently employ any third party advertisers, but we reserve the right to do so at any
time in the future, in our sole discretion.
Third party Sites
Our website may contain links to third party websites, such as from our partners, advertisers,
affiliates and social network sites. Please note that these websites have their own privacy
notices. You should always check any third party privacy notices before you submit any personal
information to those websites.
Security
The security of your information is important to us. We follow generally-accepted industry
standards to protect information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive
it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100%
secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially-acceptable means to protect
your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children
We do not knowingly collect or use any information from minors under the age of 13. We do not
knowingly allow children to order our products, communicate with us, or use any of our
Services. If you are a parent and believe that your child has provided us with any information,
please contact us, and we will work with you to address this issue.
Business Transitions
In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another
company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information will likely be among the
assets transferred.
