PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy describes the treatment of information provided or collected on the sites where this privacy policy is posted. We follow this privacy policy in accordance with applicable law in the places where we operate. In some cases, we may provide additional data privacy notices specific to certain products, practices, or regions. Those terms are to be read in conjunction with this policy.

Types Of Information We Collect

We collect two basic types of information – personal information and anonymous information. Personal Information means information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as the individuals name, postal address, email address, and telephone number. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly associated with personal information, the resulting information also is treated as personal information. Anonymous information means information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual.

For example, we collect:

i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails);
ii) Transaction information you provide when you request information, contact Customer Service, or purchase a product from us (e.g. your postal address, telephone number, or email address);
iii) Information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.

How We Collect Your Information

We collect information you provide to us when you request or purchase products from us, register with us or other activities on our sites and applications, respond to guest surveys, or otherwise interact with us using one or more devices.

We collect information through a variety of technologies, such as cookies, Flash cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, application program interfaces, and Web beacons, including when you visit our site. We collect information using analytics tools, including when you visit our sites and applications or use our applications on third-party sites or platforms.

Tracking technologies enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If a user's system is idle for a defined time, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the user's information while they are away from their computer. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Site.

Should we intend to collect personal information from children, we take additional steps to protect children’s privacy, including:

i) Notifying parents or legal guardians about our information practices with regard to children, including the types of personal information we may collect from children, the uses to which we may put that information, and whether and with whom we may share that information;
ii) In accordance with applicable law, and our practices, obtaining consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their children, or for sending information about our products and services directly to their children;
