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. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Browser Information.” Most of this information is not personally identifiable, and may be used to identify your browser session or may be aggregated for statistical use.

We collect Browser 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 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 types of electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.” (Credit card information is passed to our payment processor for clearing, and is not stored on our servers.)

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