1. INFORMATION

Personal information means information about an identifiable individual (collectively, “personal information”), and does not include information that cannot be attributed to an identifiable individual, such as information of an aggregate or anonymous nature (collectively, “non-personal information”).

2. CONSENT

We will obtain your express consent prior to or when collecting, using, or disclosing your personal information for any purpose not described in this Privacy Policy, or for a purpose that was not identified to you nor reasonably expected at the time of collection, unless we are required or permitted by law not to obtain your consent.

We may rely on your implied consent in certain circumstances, after taking into account factors such as the sensitivity of the personal information and your reasonable expectations.

We will limit the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information to only that which is necessary for the purposes identified, unless you have otherwise consented, or when such collection, use, and/or disclosure is permitted or required by law.

You can always refuse to provide your personal information, except that it may prevent you from using our Services or receiving responses to your inquiries or other information of interest.

3. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect two basic types of information from you when you provide it to us or when you use or interact with our Services: personal information and non-personal information.

4. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We need to collect personal information from you in order to provide you with our Services, as well as to improve your experience using our Services. You may provide us with personal information in several ways, including, for example when you:

  • Visit our website, use our Services, or purchase our products (including from any of our retailers);
  • Create an account or membership;
  • Correspond with us, including through surveys;

Cookies

Like many websites, we use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on your computer browser or device when you visit certain online pages, and “web beacons”, which are images on web pages that track user activity on the website. We use these technologies to collect certain information in order to better your online experience.

You can set your browser or device to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Setting your browser or device to decline cookies will prevent web beacons from tracking your activity. If you delete your cookies or if you set your browser or device to decline these technologies, some of our Services may not function properly. Our Services do not currently change the way they operate upon detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal.

Online Analytics

We also use various types of online analytics, including Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on our Services. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use our Services, compile reports on the related activities, and provide other services related to website activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website or app. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt out of tracking of analytics by Google click here.

Offline Interactions and Other Sources

We may also collect personal information from other sources (such as our third party service providers) or from our offline interactions with you to, among other things, enable us to verify or update information contained in our records and to better customize the Services for you.

Social Media Integration

Our Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from social media platforms. You may choose to connect to us through a social media platform, such as Facebook or Twitter, and when you do, we may collect additional information from you (including personal information), such as your screen names, profile picture, contact information, contact list, and the profile pictures of your contacts, through the social media platform. Please be advised that social media platforms may also collect personal information from you. When you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “like” button or Twitter’s “tweet” button, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. We do not have control over the collection, use and disclosure practices of social media platforms and encourage you to review their usage and disclosure policies and practices, including the data security practices, before using these social media platforms.

5. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Unless otherwise consented by you in advance, or as may be permitted or required by law, we will only use and disclose your personal information to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected (and in accordance with this Privacy Policy).

We use personal information to:

  • provide you with our Services;
  • respond to your requests and communications;
  • maintain and improve our Services;
  • measure performance (such as our customer care interactions with you);

6. HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as required or permitted by law, we do not disclose your personal information to any parties other than our service providers (including third party research entities) and our affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors or other representatives who or that have a need to use your personal information to provide (or improve) our Services, to legal or regulatory authorities, or for other purposes for which you have provided your consent. In no event will we sell or rent your personal information.

The third party may continue to retain and use the personal information that you provided to us. We will act in a reasonable manner, including by contractual or other means, to ensure that the third party agrees to similarly be bound by this Privacy Policy or a privacy policy that provides substantially similar measures to those employed by us to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to similarly comply with applicable privacy legislation with respect to your personal information, but we cannot guarantee such latter compliance by the third party acquirer; and

We disclose non-personal information to third parties as reasonably necessary to meet our business needs. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent.

7. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We are concerned about ensuring the security of your personal information, and we have taken appropriate measures to ensure its security and confidentiality. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your browser or device to our servers. We store personal information that we have collected in secure operating environments. We will only retain your personal information for the period of time reasonably required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We may retain non-personal information for as long as we have a business need to do so.

All of our service providers and contractors are contractually obligated to employ appropriate data security measures with respect to yourpersonal information and to collect/use/disclose/retain it only within the scope required for the provision of our Services. The contractors we contract with will use your personal information if required to perform their respective services. These include, for example, IT service providers that we need to operate and safeguard our IT system that stores your personal information.

We try our best to safeguard personal information once we receive it, but please understand that no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you suspect an unauthorized use or security breach of your information, please contact us as soon as possible.
