Information Collection
This Privacy Policy pertains to the information we collect from our customers through various methods as described herein. Please note that not all of the methods may apply to your situation. We gather two primary types of information from users:
1. Personal Information: This includes data that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, geographic location, payment information, usernames, passwords, security answers, biometrics, date of birth, age, gender, hobbies, interests, product purchase history, browsing history, and any other identifying details (“Personal Information”). This category also encompasses information you provide about others, like when you choose to ship a product to a friend or relative. Personal Information is collected during activities such as creating an account, making product purchases, engaging in customer service inquiries, participating in contests and promotions, and providing feedback. When you register for an account, we request certain personal data, and if you create an account, your payment information may be stored under your account profile. Additionally, we may ask for additional information, both personally and non-personally identifiable.
2. Non-Personal Information: This encompasses data like traffic patterns on our Website and does not personally identify you.
We also collect information that you voluntarily share about your experience with our products, which could include comments, suggestions, reviews, customer service surveys, or email correspondence.

Furthermore, we may access information from your third-party social network profiles, such as Facebook, to the extent that you allow the sharing of such data. This may include basic account information, user ID, geographic location, profile picture, connections/friends list, and other information as per the third-party site’s permissions. For a detailed overview of what can be shared, please consult the third-party’s website.
We might collect information via inbound text messaging programs, which are occasionally used in promotions and special offers. Participating in these programs could result in the collection of your geo-location data for marketing purposes. This policy is applicable when our text messaging program indicates or redirects you to our Website for privacy provisions related to text messages.
In some cases, we may obtain information about you from other sources, such as third-party data aggregators, or by acquiring new companies. We always strive to collect and store only the Personal Information necessary to provide the relevant goods and services.
