PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Statement
New Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal data when you visit or make a purchase from this website.
Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
“Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
“Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, PayPal usernames), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Data” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
External product vendors and warehouse partners receive details of the order contents and the shipping address of the buyer. This data is necessary for them to arrange shipping. Multiple vendors cooperate with this store, and each order may involve entirely different companies. To find out which vendor/warehouse partner received a buyer’s data, the buyer can make a request via email.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
By using our site, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie that gets removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent while browsing our site, so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.
SMS Marketing and Notifications:
By entering your phone number at checkout and initiating a purchase, subscribing via our subscription form, or via keyword, you agree that we may send you text notifications (for your order, including abandoned cart reminders) and text marketing offers. You acknowledge that consent is not a condition for any purchase. You will receive up to 6 messages per month.
If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving text marketing messages and notifications, reply with STOP to any mobile message sent from us or use the unsubscribe link we provided you within any of our messages.
