What Information We Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily. We may collect and store information, including personal information (such as your name, postal address or email address) or other information, that you voluntarily supply to us while visiting our Site. Some examples of this type of information include information that you electronically submit when you contact us with questions, information that you post on blogs, discussion forums or other community posting and social networking areas on our Site, and information that you submit when you complete an online registration form to access and use certain features of our Site. We also may ask for information (including a credit card number and other financial information) from those users who make purchases or have payment transactions on our Site. If you decline to supply or provide us with certain information while using the Site, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Site.

Information We Collect Automatically. We also collect and store non-personal information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer (IP address, device and browser type, operating system), which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site.

A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Certain cookies are essential for the operation of a website, such as to enable transactions. “Functionality” cookies, for example, enable us to remember you when you return to our Site. Other cookies are used to compile aggregate and statistical data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer a better website experience and tools in the future. Typically, these “analytics” cookies do not need access to personal information for their operations. We may contract with third-party service providers to provide these analytics services. They are contractually prohibited from using personal information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Opting Out of Cookies. You have the ability to accept or decline most cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features on a website. If you wish to find out more about cookies, or how to refuse cookies for your browser, please visit the Interactive Advertising Bureau's web site at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.

How We May Use and Share Your Information

We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site in a variety of ways, including, for example, to process your registration request, provide you with services and communications that you have requested, send you email updates and other communications about services or products that may be of interest to you, customize features and advertising that appear on the Site, deliver our Site content to you, measure Site traffic, measure user interests and traffic patterns, and improve the Site and the services and features offered via the Site.

In addition, we may use any information submitted by or collected from you via the Site for any purpose related to the Site, including to contact you for customer service purposes, to inform you of important changes or additions to our Site or to send you administrative notices. We may also use your personal information, such as an email address you provided, to send you offers or promotions about other goods and services from us that may be of interest to you. (However, we do not disclose, sell, lease or license your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.)

We also may provide your information to our affiliates or to third parties, including our third-party service providers, suppliers and contractors, for purposes related to Site administration and other services. For example, if you use a credit or debit card to complete a transaction on our Site, we may share your personal information and credit card number with a credit card processing and/or a fulfillment company in order to complete your transaction, or such service provider(s) may collect that information from you directly, on our behalf. These third parties are contractually required to protect the security of your information.

Our Site may include links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase products or services from a third party, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services. We do not have access to any personal information you provide to credit card processors or fulfillment companies when you make a purchase or conduct other transactions with us. You are encouraged to review these companies’ privacy policies to learn how they handle your personal information.

We also may make some content, products and services available through our Site through cooperative relationships with third-party providers where the brands of our provider partner appear on the Site in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the privacy policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner’s use of your information. The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more information.

Please be aware that we may occasionally release information, including personal information, about visitors to our Site if required to do so by law or if, in our business judgement, such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to enforce our Terms of Service; or (c) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our Site, us, our affiliates, our officers, directors, employees, representatives, our licensors, other users, and/or the public. Finally, also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or our Site is acquired by another company, personal and other information about our Site users may be among the transferred assets.

Information You Post to Blogs, Discussion Forums and Other Community Posting or Social Networking Areas

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information or other private information available for viewing by third-parties online – for example on blogs, discussion forums, or other community posting or social networking areas of our Site – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. We advise that you not post personal information on the public portions of the Site. We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of your posted information. All submissions are subject to our Terms of Service, including the Community Rules.

We may offer contests, sweepstakes, and surveys on the Site. Any personal information you submit to participate in any of these activities is governed by this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We have implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures as set forth in a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) to ensure the security of the personal and other information we collect.

We will not be responsible for breach that results from a lost or stolen login information.
