The information we collect and how we collect it.

The information we gather from visitors to the Site enables us to personalize and improve our services, and to better assist you when you visit our Site again. We collect the following types of information from our visitors:

Information You Provide to Us
We collect and store information you enter on our Site or otherwise provide to us. This may include your name, mailing address, email address, zip or postal code, and telephone number. The information you provide is used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain products, services and information, identifying you, and communicating with you about specials and new products and opportunities. We may exchange your information with our subsidiaries, parent company or affiliates to present you with retargeting advertising. Of course, you can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the services offered through the Site.

Information Collected Automatically 
We collect and store certain information whenever you visit our Site, which may include your IP address, the address of the Website that you came from before visiting our Site, which Web browser you used to view our Site, information from our browser cookie, and the page you requested. 

We also collect generic usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Site and its pages. We only use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This aggregate data tells us how often visitors come to the Site or use our services so that we can enhance the Site and improve our services.

Cookies
Our site uses “cookie” technology. A cookie is a small data file that a website may send to your web browser and store on your computer or device. Our Site uses cookies to let us “remember” information about your preferences and sessions and allow you to move within areas of our Site without reintroducing yourself. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies. 

Most browsers have an option to not accept cookies at all, or to give you a choice as to whether to accept each new cookie in a variety of ways. If you set your browser to not accept cookies you can still view our Site; however, we suggest that you accept cookies in order to take advantage of some of our Site's features.

How We Respond to a "Do Not Track" Signal from Your Browser
Do Not Track (DNT) is a still-not-yet finalized concept by which Internet users may choose to control the collection of personally identifiable information about the user’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Currently, various browsers offer an option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the browser user about the user's DNT preference. You can usually access your browser's DNT option in your browser's tools or preferences. 

Internet industry groups and regulators have been working to develop a uniform standard for how websites and online services should respond to browser DNT signals. No consensus has been reached on the final standard, and without an industry standard for DNT, users cannot know how any given website responds to a browser DNT signal. 

We take privacy and security very seriously. However, due to the absence of a browser DNT signal standard, and the lack of a consensus on how websites should interpret a DNT signal at this time, we currently do not respond to browser DNT signals.

What We Do With the Information We Collect

We use the information that we collect for the following purposes:

• For the purposes for which you provided it;
• To send you information about our products, services, or other items;

• To improve the content and features of our Site;
• To allow us to personalize the content and advertising that you see on our Site;
• To enforce the legal terms that govern your use of the Site;
• To administer and troubleshoot the Site.

As noted above, we may aggregate and/or anonymize information collected by the Site or via other means so that the information does not identify you. Our use and disclosure of aggregated, anonymized, and other non-personal information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation for any purpose.
