We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

When orders are placed by using our Site form(s), we collect and use your Order Information generally to fulfill any orders placed (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

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.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

For general site functionality, we do not collect indentifying Personal Information. For information that you provide in a contact form or order form, we retain your provided Personal Information only for the purpose of correspondence and order fulfillment.

We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
