PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We automatically gather certain information about your device when you access the Site, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that have been set up on it. Along with this, we also keep track of the specific web pages or items you view while using the site, the websites or search keywords that led you there, and your interactions with the site. This automatically gathered data is referred to as "Device Information" by us.

 

The following technologies are used by us to acquire Device Information:

- Data files known as "cookies" are stored on your computer or device and frequently have an anonymous unique identifier. Visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org for more details on cookies and instructions on how to disable them.

- "Log files" are used to record activity on the Site and gather information such as your IP address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

- Web beacons, tags, and pixels are all types of electronic data that are used to store information about your usage of the Site.

 Furthermore, we gather certain information from you when you make a purchase through the Site or attempt to make a purchase through the Site. This information includes your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. This data is referred to as "Order Information" by us.

In this privacy statement, we refer to "Personal Information" to refer to both Device Information and Order Information.

 

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

To fulfill any orders done through the Site, we use the Order Information that we gather generally. This includes handling your payment information, setting up shipment, and sending you bills and/or order confirmations. We also employ this Order Information to:

- Communicate with you;

- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud

- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

 

We use the device information we gather to screen for potential risk and fraud (your IP address in particular), as well as more generally to enhance and optimize our website (for instance, by generating analytics about how visitors navigate and interact with the website and evaluating the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
