        COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND TAILORED ADVERTISING

        When you use our Website, we will typically place cookies onto your device, or read cookies already on your device, in accordance with applicable law. We may collect Personal Information through cookies and similar technologies, in accordance with applicable laws.

        Cookies are bits of electronic information that a website may transfer to a visitor’s computer to identify specific information about the visitor’s visits to the website. The Website uses a browser feature known as a cookie, which assigns a unique identification to your computer. Cookies are typically stored on your computer’s hard drive and are used to help track clicks as you go through the pages within our Website. We may also use cookies to tell us whether you have previously visited the Website. Certain cookies may be stored on your device by third parties when you use our Website. We have no control over these cookies or how the third parties use them. These cookies allow third parties to provide us with a service, for example, analytics about the effectiveness of our marketing activities and user behavior.

        You can set your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept it. You may also use commonly available tools in your browser to remove cookies which may have been placed onto your computer. However, please be aware that the Website requires cookies to operate correctly. For example, if you turn off cookies or refuse them, you may experience limitations while browsing, accessing your account, or making payments. We will not use shared local objects (commonly referred to as "FLASH cookies") in a manner inconsistent with the purposes for which they were designed unless you are specifically notified that we intend to use them for a specific service. FLASH cookies are cookies that are placed on your computer that are not removed through normal browser management tools.

        You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may opt-out of targeted advertising utilizing the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) AdChoices Program at optout.aboutads.info. For more information on the DAA AdChoices Program at visit www.youradchoices.com. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain Tailored Advertising delivered by NAI members’ advertising networks. To learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, see https://optout.networkadvertising.org.

        Most browsers can be set to send signals to third party websites requesting them not to track the user’s activities. At this time, we do not respond to “do not track” signals. Consequently, third parties may indeed track and collect information about your online activities over time while navigating to, from and on our online services, notwithstanding any “do not track” signals we may receive.

        As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s ("NAI") educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

        HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

        The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We use reasonable and appropriate technical, physical, and organizational or administrative security measures to protect your Personal Information from accidental or unlawful disclosure or access, taking into account the state of the art, costs of implementation, and risk. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. As a result, while we will strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the absolute security of any of your Personal Information. You should not share your username and password with anyone, and you should not re-use passwords across more than one website. We will not be and are not liable for disclosures of your Personal Information due to errors in transmission, networks that we do not control, or unauthorized acts of third parties.

         

        DIRECT MARKETING

        We may use your Personal Information to contact you via email, telephone, direct mail or other communication formats to provide you with information regarding our products or services that may be of interest to you. We may also use your Personal Information for the purposes of displaying content tailored to your use of our Website or services. If you use the Website or our services, we may send or display information to you regarding our products or services, upcoming promotions and other information that may be of interest to you, including by using the contact details that you have provided to us, or any other appropriate means.

        From time to time, we may request information from you via surveys, contests and other promotions. Participation in these surveys, contests or promotions is voluntary and therefore you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. If you choose to participate, we may ask you for additional information, which may include contact information (e.g., name, email and shipping address) and/or demographic information (e.g., postal code, and age), to provide better services and options to you. We use the information you provide to administer our contests, sweepstakes and other promotions, in addition to the purposes set forth herein. If your information, gathered via a survey, will be used in a manner different from that described in this Policy, such use will be detailed in the survey instructions. For example, the instructions will alert you if the information will be shared with anyone in addition to those identified in this Policy, such as a third-party sponsoring the survey.

        You may unsubscribe from our promotional email list at any time by simply clicking on the unsubscribe link included in every promotional electronic communication we send. After you unsubscribe, we will not send you further promotional emails, but in some circumstances we will continue to contact you to the extent necessary for the purposes of providing the services you have requested.

        If you are a resident of California, you have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you (also known as the ‘Right to Know’), to port it to a new service, and to ask that your Personal Information be corrected, updated, or erased. If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us through the contact information above.
