Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies. We may send cookies, which are small pieces of data, to your web browser to facilitate your use of the Sites. Cookies help us deliver content specific to your and permit our servers to recall information from your prior visits to the Sites. We may use information collected from cookies in conjunction with other information we have collected from you. We do not, however, use cookies to access information on your computer or device. You can choose whether to accept cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser. If your browser is set to reject cookies, you may still enter the Sites, but you may not have full access to all areas within the Sites.

Web Beacons. Web beacons are small bits of code embedded in web pages or in emails. We may use web beacons to deliver or communicate with cookies, count users who have visited the Sites, and understand usage patterns. We also may include web beacons in emails to learn if messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded to others. Web beacons cannot be declined when delivered via a regular web page. However, web beacons can be refused when delivered via email. If you do not wish to receive web beacons via email, you need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML emails from your email software.

 

Web Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others

We may use web analytics providers to understand how visitors engage with our Sites, determine the popularity of certain content, and learn about your preferences with respect to the Sites. We may also engage and work with service providers and other third parties to serve advertisements on the Sites and/or on third-party services. Some of these ads may be tailored to your interest based on your browsing of the Sites and elsewhere on the Internet, which is sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” and “online behavioral advertising” and may include sending you an ad on a third-party service after you have left the Sites. These web analytics and advertising service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the Sites and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a Do Not Track (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, then the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option, and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many digital service operators, do not recognize or respond to DNT signals.

Notice to California Residents

Certain California residents have the privacy rights listed below. The rights listed below under the California Consumer Privacy Act and Shine the Light are not the same. To exercise your rights, you will need to follow the directions below.

California Consumer Privacy Act

Please note that the California Consumer Privacy Act does not currently allow all categories of California residents to exercise the rights listed below. California employees, independent contractors, job applicants, or contacts at our customer, vendor, or supplier, may not have any or all of the privacy rights listed below with respect to Personal Information we have about you in the context of our relationship with you.

  • Request to Know. You have the right to request to know (1) the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you; (2) the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you in the last 12 months; (3) the types of sources from which that Personal Information was collected; (4) the categories of your Personal Information that we sold or disclosed in the last 12 months; (5) the categories of third parties to whom your Personal Information was sold or disclosed in the last 12 months; and (6) the purposes for collecting and selling your Personal Information.

Please note, in response to a request to know, we are prohibited from disclosing your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, health insurance or medical identification number, and account password or security questions and answers.

Generally, in the past 12 months:

    • We collected the categories of Personal Information from the sources detailed in the “What Information We Collect” section of this Privacy Policy. We describe the purposes for collecting these types of Personal Information in the “How We Use Your Personal Information” section.
    • We have disclosed the categories of Personal Information described in the “What Information We Collect” section to the categories of third parties listed in the “How We Share Your Personal Information” section.
    • We did not sell your Personal Information to third parties, as we understand this term under the California Consumer Privacy Act and its implementing regulations.
  • Request to delete. You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information that we have collected from or about you. We may deny your request under certain circumstances, such as if we need to comply with our legal obligations or complete a transaction for which your Personal Information was collected. If we deny your request to delete, we will let you know the reason for the denial.
  • Opt Out of Sale of Your Personal Information. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information. We do not, and will not, sell your Personal Information to third parties, as we understand this term under the California Consumer Privacy Act and its implementing regulations.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. If you choose to exercise any of these rights, we will not discriminate against you in any way. If you exercise certain rights, please understand that you may be unable to use or access certain features of the Sites or our services.

To make a request under the California Consumer Privacy Act, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

We will take measures to verify your identity before processing your request to know or request to delete. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the individual about whom we collected Personal Information. If you have an account with us, we will use our existing account authentication practices to verify your identity. If you do not have an account with us, we may request additional information about you so that we can verify your identity. We will only use the Personal Information you provide to verify your identity and to process your request, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or request to delete. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent who does not submit proof that you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf.

California “Shine the Light” Law

California residents may also request information from us once per calendar year about certain Personal Information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, including the categories of information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we have shared such information. To request this information, please contact us by using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.

Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to safeguard Personal Information shared with us, but absolute security cannot be guaranteed. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your account access information and to your computer. We encourage you to keep your account log-in information in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. We will attempt to notify you if we become aware of a breach of the security of your Personal Information stored by or for us. However, we shall not be liable for any breach of the security of your Personal Information resulting from your own acts or omissions.

We use one or more secure servers for the Site. By “secure,” we mean that the Site uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and that our web servers are capable of delivering 128-bit encryption. For example, when you make a purchase on the Site, your Personal Information (including Payment Account Information) is transmitted using the SSL protocol and then encrypted (using industry-standard 128-bit SSL technology) into a secure database maintained by our payment gateway provider, which will be accessible only by those who are authorized to access the information and who are required to keep the information confidential. Please note, however, that your browser, not our web servers, ultimately determines the exact level of encryption. You may not be able to shop online if your browser does not support SSL or if you are accessing the Internet from behind a firewall that prohibits SSL transactions.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover that any registration or transaction is made by a minor, such registration or transaction will be immediately and permanently canceled and removed from the Sites, with or without notice.

International Users

If you are visiting the Sites from outside the United States, please be aware that the information we collect may be transferred to, processed, and stored on our servers in the United States in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. The data protection laws and regulations applicable to your Personal Information that is transferred to the United States may be different from the laws in your country of residence.

Changes to this Notice

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will inform you of any material changes to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice on the Sites. If you are on our email list or if you have an account on the Sites, we may also notify you of such material changes via email or the account.
