None of this specific information is Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This information is used to help us improve the Site and our Services, understand our customer-base better, as well as to manage the Site more effectively. We attempt to aggregate such tracking data so that no such data is tied to you in any personally-identifiable manner, however, due to the nature of the internet, this is not always feasible and tracking data may be traceable back to you.

We collect information about your purchase choices and preferences. We use cookies and other technological tools to automatically collect information about your location when you are using our Site. Such information collected is used as PI when it is associated with other data elements that allow us to identify you.

None of this specific information is Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This information is used to help improve the Site and our service, analyze user behavior when viewing the Site, as well as to administer the Site. We attempt to aggregate such tracking data so that no such data is tied to you in any personally-identifiable manner, however, due to the nature of the Internet, this is not always feasible and tracking data may be traceable back to you.

We collect general information about your location and your activity on the Site. In addition to any information that you submit during sessions, we use cookies and other technological tools to automatically collect information about your location and your use of our websites, products, and applications. We may also infer information about you from your use of our websites, products and applications. We treat this information as personal information when it is associated with other data elements that allow us to identify you.

UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL INFORMATION
“Personal Information” (PI) is information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact an individual. We collect the following types of personal information:

• Contact Information that allows us to communicate with an individual or customer, such as name, username, mailing address, telephone numbers, email address or other addresses that allow us to send messages, information, or products purchased.

We use tracking data for a variety of purposes, including, without limitation, for load balancing metrics, to create reports on user demographics and Site traffic patterns, and to help us diagnose problems with our server or other technical issues relating to the performance of the Site. The reports that are generated from tracking data are used for a variety of purposes, including, for example, improving the Site.

We disclose your minimal Personal Information to third parties who are (i) vetted partners who perform services for us, as further described below; (ii) when we believe that such disclosure is required by law; (iii) to enforce the Privacy Policy; (iv) to protect our rights, property, security or safety, the Site users, or the public; or (v) as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.

THIRD PARTIES
We hire vetted third-party business partners and/or vetted third-party service providers to operate the Site and to perform functions on our behalf, including mailing and delivering our products, answering your questions by phone or email, analyzing data, location target marketing, specific administrative duties, and/or acting as an agent for third-party software, content or services. These vetted third parties have access to your PI that you provided us, and use it only as required or necessary to perform their specific functions as a third party partner. We seek to limit our third party partners to using the PI that is shared with them for the purpose of necessary services.

THIRD PARTY FINANCIAL INFRASCTUCTURE & PROCESSING
Credit card and/or personal financial information is NOT stored on this Site. Your credit card information is not stored by the Company in any way.  We use the vetted third-party payment processing merchant company Stripe for financial infrastructure and to process financial purchase transactions on the Site paid with a credit card, debit card, or payment card. We do not hold personal financial information on this Site or in the Company records and files. You can view the Stripe Privacy Policy and the Stripe Payment Terms.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take high-level precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we use your credit card data for payment, that information is encrypted and transmitted to in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page to ensure a secure website.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We maintain reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards for your personal information. You should recognize, however, that there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the internet and we cannot guarantee the security of your information. In addition, because internet communication is unsecure, it is also possible that the information you supply to us or your access of any information via the Site will be intercepted during transmission. We cannot be liable for any security breach of our systems or interception of our transmission and, for the avoidance of doubt, we expressly disclaim, to the fullest extent provided under law, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to ensuring, guaranteeing or otherwise offering promise of security in connection with your personal information.

PARTNERS
We work with vetted and trusted business and/or non-profit partners (“partners”) to secure customer purchase transactions as well as for product delivery, target marketing, and sales. We work with vetted partners to process data and marketing information on behalf of the Company in order to broaden the services we offer.  Our partners work at our instruction and are in compliance with our Privacy Policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We share the minimum PI with our partners that personally identifies you, such as your name, address, location, and email, unless you opt-out of us sharing this information. To opt-out of information sharing, click here.
