Privacy: This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share and retain information that you provide to us, or that is provided or collected on this Site. The “Site” means this website, together with any related domains and mobile sites.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through third party websites or services (“Third Party Services”) that you may access through the Site.

The effective date of this Privacy Policy is set forth above. From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. We will provide notice to you if these changes are material and, where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect various kinds of information that you provide to us as well as information we obtain from your use of the Site. Some of the types of information that we collect include:
Personal Information. “Personal Information” identifies, directly or indirectly, a particular individual. Personal Information includes: (1) contact data, such as name, e-mail address and telephone number; (2) demographic data, such as gender, date of birth and zip code; (3) certain Usage Data (defined below); (4) transaction information you provide when you request information, contact us or purchase a product or service from us, such as postal address and payment information; provided, that we only use payment information to process transactions and do not share or retain such information; and (5) location information, including information that is provided by a mobile or other device interacting with the Site (including through beacon technologies), or that is associated with your IP address, where we are permitted by law to process this information.
Certain Personal Information, such as information about personal health or finances, is characterized as “Sensitive” and subject to stricter regulation than other Personal Information. We urge you to carefully consider whether to disclose your Sensitive Personal Information before providing it to us. If you do provide Sensitive Personal Information to us, you consent to its use and disclosure for the purposes and in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
Usage Data. “Usage Data” is information about an individual’s online activity that, by itself, does not identify the individual. Usage Data includes: (1) technical information, including your browser type, service provider, IP address, operating system and webpages visited; and (2) information about what you have searched for and looked at while using the Site. Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify a particular individual. Personal Information and Usage Data may be linked together. Different types of Usage Data also may be linked together and, once linked, may identify a particular individual. Some Usage Data may be Personal Information under applicable law.
WE COLLECT INFORMATION
Whether we collect certain types of information and how we process it depends on how you use and access the Site. Some information is collected automatically through the use of cookies and similar data collection tools. We may collect information about you in the following ways:
From you. We may collect information you provide to us when you: (1) request or purchase products, services or information from us; (2) register an account with us (including if you link your profile on a Third Party Service with your registration account); (3) participate in a contest, sweepstake, promotion or survey; or (4) otherwise interact with the Site using one or more devices. You may provide information in a variety of ways, including by typing or using voice commands.
From our business partners and service providers. Third parties that assist us with our business operations also may collect information (including Personal Information and Usage Data) about you through the Site and share it with us. For example, our vendors may collect and share information with us to help us detect and prevent fraud. We may combine the information we collect from you with information from other sources and use the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Usage Data. We may automatically collect Usage Data when you interact with the Site.
From cookies and other tracking technologies. We and certain service providers operating on our behalf may collect information about your activity, or activity on devices associated with you, on the Site using tracking technologies such as cookies, Flash cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, application program interfaces and Web beacons. Details about some of these tracking technologies are set forth below. We may use these technologies for many purposes, including: (1) providing you with useful features; (2) delivering relevant content and advertising to you; (3) monitoring, evaluating and optimizing the use and operation of the Site; and (4) analyzing traffic on the Site.
We may collect information whether or not you are logged in or registered, and may associate this tracking data with your registration account (if you have one), in which case we will treat it as Personal Information. Service providers that collect tracking data on our behalf may provide an opportunity for you to choose not to be tracked online.
Advertisers and third parties also may collect information about your activity on the Site, on devices associated with you and on Third Party Services using tracking technologies. Tracking data collected by these advertisers and third parties may be used to decide which ads you see both on the Site and on Third Party Services.
Examples of online tracking technologies include:
Cookies. A cookie is a piece of information that a website places on the hard drive of your computer when you visit the website. Cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. We may contract with third party service providers to provide functions related to the Site, and such service providers may be authorized to place cookies on your device, or collect information from you or your device on our behalf, to enable such functions, including by displaying targeted ads on the Site.
You can often choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to disable all cookies via your browser settings. On most web browsers, you will find a “Help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notifications when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. If you turn cookies off, you may not be able to take advantage of some of the Site’s features.
Your browser may also provide you with the option to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites you visit. This signal is used to request that websites not send the requesting device cookies, but websites have no obligation to respond to such signal or to modify their operation. At the current time, the Site may not treat you differently if we receive Do Not Track signals from your browser and we may not comply with Do Not Track settings on your browser.
Flash cookies. We may use local shared objects, sometimes known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on the Site to personalize your visit. Our advertisers and third party service providers also may use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount of, type of and manner in which data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies visit https://kb2.adobe.com/cps/526/52697ee8.html. If you disable Flash cookies, you may not have access to many features that make your experience of the Site more efficient, and some of our services may not function properly.

Web beacons may involve the transmission of information directly to us, to another party on our behalf or to another party in accordance with its privacy policy.
