When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through this website, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through this website (including processing your payment information, arranging shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you regarding your order;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- In strict accordance with your specified preferences and with your consent, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
- 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 this website (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with this website and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will only share your Personal Information with specific third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above – e.g. for fulfilling orders and refining our marketing techniques.
