Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect various types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information, Nonpersonally Identifiable Information, and information about our users’ equipment, internet connection, and usage details. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using the Website.

“Personally Identifiable Information” (“PII”) refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on the Website, such as registering for a membership, ordering a product or service, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Website, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. We will primarily use your PII to provide our services to you. We will also use PII to enhance the operation of the Website, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize the Website’s content, layout, and services. We may use PII to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use PII to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our agreements with you, including our Website Terms of Use and this Private Policy.

“Nonpersonally Identifiable Information” refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis, and may include the Website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.

We collect your information:

Directly from you when you provide it to us.
Automatically as you navigate through the Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.
From third parties, for example, our business partners.
