We may, but are not obligated to, update this Policy from time to time. Accordingly, you should periodically check the Website for any changes. We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time.

What Categories of Information Are Collected Through The Website or Otherwise?
Personal Information: We collect information that can be used to identify you personally (“personal information”), such as your first and last name, mailing address, billing address, telephone number, email address, communication preference, and credit card (or other payment account) information.
Other Information: We also collect information that cannot be used to easily identify you, such as information about your computer hardware and software.
Offline Collection, Use & Disclosure of Information: We also collect some personal information offline, and we protect the privacy of that personal information as well. When someone communicates with us offline, such as by telephone, we will ask for personal information in order to place the order, answer questions or otherwise respond to inquiries, and establish a customer account. Customer order information may be stored in our customer database(s). Personal information may also be obtained by us through customer wire instructions, checks, or correspondence, or otherwise, and we will endeavor to treat offline collection, uses, and disclosures of customer personal information in the same manner as our online policies.
You should know that we generally use personal information collected offline in a similar manner to how we use personal information which is collected online, as outlined above.
How Do We Collect and Use This Information?
Personal Information: We collect the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use the Website or contact us offline. For example, if you purchase a product from the Website or by calling us, we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such transaction. We use your personal information primarily for our own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the Website, evaluating and fulfilling requests for purchases, and conducting follow-up marketing efforts.
Other Information: Like the operators of most websites, we may use tracking software and similar technology, which automatically collects information about your computer hardware and software, and use of the Website. This information may be used by us for the operation of the Website and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Website. Many commercial website operators collect this information in similar ways.
Cookies are bits of electronic information that a website can transfer to a visitor’s hard drive to help tailor and keep records of his or her visit. Cookies allow website operators to better customize visits to the site to the visitor’s individual preferences. Many commercial websites use cookies. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. This gives you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. However, if you set your browser such that it does not accept cookies, you may not be able to access certain features on the Website.
Tracking Pixels or Beacons: Aside from cookies, we also collect information regarding the delivery of an advertisement to a user’s device through the use of “tracking pixels” or “beacons.” A tracking pixel is a transparent graphic image, typically 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a web page and, in combination with a cookie, enables the collection of information regarding the use of the web page that has the tracking pixel. We use tracking pixels to tell when an ad has been clicked on or otherwise interacted with, and use that information to determine which ads are more appealing to users. In some cases, we use third-party service providers to help us collect and analyze this information.
Do Not Track Signals: We do not respond to “do not track” signals from web browsers or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.
How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Secure?
We protect your personal information using appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access and/or disclosure. These measures include physical security designed to prevent unauthorized access to servers where personal data is stored, and ongoing internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and sharing practices as appropriate. In addition, we only maintain your credit card (or other payment account) information for as long as is necessary for us to process your payment.
Access to your personal information is restricted to our employees, contractors, and agents who need to access such information to provide our services.
We make use of your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy.
When Will We Disclose Your Personal Information Without Your Consent?
Generally speaking, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties who are not our affiliates without your consent. (We will, however, share your personal information with our affiliates who may use it for marketing purposes.) We do not sell or exchange customer lists or customer information for marketing purposes with unaffiliated third parties. However, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information without your consent for any of the following reasons:
Disclosure to Successors: We may disclose your personal information to any actual or potential successor-in-interest of ours, such as a company that is seeking to acquire us.
Third-Party Service Providers: We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who help us provide or maintain the Website. We require by contract that these third-party service providers implement and maintain reasonable practices to protect your personal information. We also may disclose your personal information to our suppliers to enable them to ship our products to you.
Other Disclosure: We will disclose your personal information without your consent to prevent an emergency, to protect or enforce our rights, to protect against suspected credit card fraud, to protect or enforce the rights of a third party, or as required or permitted by law (including, without limitation, to comply with a subpoena or court order).

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
Whenever we obtain your personal information, we will implement and maintain reasonable practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we will use such efforts, we cannot and will not act as insurers of the security of your personal information. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access or other acts of third parties, or acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.
What about Protection of Collected Information for SMS and Marketing Purposes?
We value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information, including phone numbers collected for SMS notifications or other communications. We want to reassure you that any phone numbers or other personal information collected for SMS purposes will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or our affiliates for marketing purposes. We use this information solely for providing the services you requested and will not use it for any unsolicited communications. Rest assured, your information is kept confidential in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We are not targeting the Website to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not email us, contact us, attempt to access or use the Website, submit information, including personal information, to the Website, or ask us to email you.
