Privacy Policy

Protecting your Privacy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to those websites and applications that display or link to this Policy (referred to in this Policy as the “Website”). It does not apply to those sites, services, and products that have their own privacy policies. This Policy describes the information we collect and how we use and disclose it. By visiting our Website and using our services, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy.

What Information do we collect and store?

Our privacy policy is simple: Except as disclosed below, we don’t sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any company outside. One of the basic principles we’ve tried to follow is to limit the information we collect from and share about you. 

Personal Information

We collect and store information that you provide to us, including through the Website or our Customer Service Department or that we receive from third parties. 

For example, when you place an order, we collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date. If you sign up for an account, which allows you to use the same sign-in details anywhere in the world, we will ask for your name, e-mail address, date of birth and password. If you select to be logged in persistently, basic profile information like e-mail, first name, last name, and a unique identifier for your account will be stored for up to 30 days in the browser that was used for the login. We will also collect the following additional information if you choose to provide it when you sign up for an account: telephone number, gender, personal preferences, social identifier if you choose to log in to your account via social media, and age. If you choose to apply certain discount codes when making purchases, we may store the information associated with that code – which may include, for example, a school or veteran status, and connect that information with your profile. We collect your e-mail addresses and zip code if you subscribe to our newsletter and we collect your mobile number if you opt in to receive text messages. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions located within each newsletter or linked to each text message. We also collect and store your geolocation information and personal information collected in certain areas of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly provide such information, where registration is required, community postings, suggestions, or customer service requests, including the use of the customer service chat function on the Website.

Usage Information

Through your use of our Website, we may also gather certain information about your use of our Website (“Usage Information”). Generally, this information is collected through “traffic data”. We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with our Website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit our Website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage, such as “clickstream” data comprised of mouse movements, clicks, page scrolls and keystrokes. This information is used to analyze and improve the quality of our Website, to debug, identify and repair errors that impair the intended functionality of our Website, to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience, and to personalize the Website, our communications with you, and your shopping experience.

How do we use cookies, advertising, and online tracking?

Like many websites, we use “cookies”, files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your browser to identify account holders and to optimize their shopping experience. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves this Website without checking out and send you reminder e-mail about your shopping orders and other shopping opportunities. We also use cookies to gather statistical information about use of the Website in order to improve its design and functionality, understand how the Website is used, and assist us with resolving questions. Cookies further allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Website. We may also use cookies or other technologies in online advertising to track responses to our ads. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them or be given the choice of declining or accepting a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular website. We recommend that you leave cookies “turned on” so that we can offer you a better shopping experience. Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals, but several of our service providers who utilize these cookies and other tracking technologies on our Website enable you to opt out of this type of advertising.

We use third-party analytics service providers, including Google Analytics and Google AdWords on the Website to collect Usage Information, to analyze how users use the Website-such as time spent on the website, pages visited, cart details, mouse clicks, keystrokes, purchases, and other interactions-and to provide advertisements to you on other websites. You can learn more about advertising and online tracking and how to opt out of such practices in the paragraphs above and below.

Interest-Based Advertising

We also use third-party companies to measure and target ads on our behalf about products and services tailored to your interests. We allow these third-party companies to use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect or receive information about your interaction with us on our Website and elsewhere on the internet (“Tracking Data”) and use such Tracking Data to display ads for our and other companies when you visit this or other websites. These third-party companies may not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals.

Is Information collected from children?

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13.

How do we use your personal information?

We may use your personal information to provide the products and services that you have ordered or requested, to process and ship orders, to provide customer service, to provide other services to you, to detect fraudulent activities, and to personalize the Website, our communications with you, and your shopping experience. For example, when you create an account, you can use your account details to log in from any location and on any device. The global single sign-on for your account will allow our systems to identify you wherever you are, so you will not need to register with us again if you sign in from a different country. In addition, if you select to be logged in persistently, we will store your basic profile information like e-mail, first name, last name and a unique identifier for up to 30 days in the browser that was used for the login. Your information also may be used to contact you about sales, new products, new site features, special offers, and personalized offers based on your location, unless you have opted to not receive promotional communications. The information we collect may be combined with information obtained from companies within our group and from other companies. We may also combine this information with other information we collect as you interact with our brand across apps, social media, and marketing messages we send you. Aggregating data allows us to update and correct the information contained in our database and to provide you with product recommendations and special offers.

How do we share your Personal Information?

Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose your personal information without your consent. For further information about the companies within the Group, please visit our website. When you create an account, we will share some of your account details (such as your name, email address, password, and date of birth) with other Group entities so you can have a global single sign-on for your account that will allow our systems to identify you wherever you are in the world. We may also share your personal information with other Group entities if both entities are responsible for your personal information, or if the other entities are acting as our service providers and processing your personal information on our instructions or on our behalf. 

Our website allows you to choose to share your personal information with select our partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers. Other sites do not share your contact information with third parties, but give you a choice as to whether you wish to receive communications from us on behalf of a business partners about its specific offer (without transferring your personal information to the third party).

Third-party Service Providers- We hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as marketing, web analytics, chat support and functionality (including through conversational artificial intelligence), data analysis, credit card processing, shipping, stocking orders, providing customer service, and fraud protection. These service providers have access only to such personal information appropriate to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information. They are restricted from using, selling, distributing or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services. For example, we will share some of your account details (such as your name, email address, password, and date of birth) with our cloud service providers for the purposes of identification and authentication, so you can quickly and efficiently sign-on to your account from anywhere in the world. Additionally, we will share chat transcripts with our chat service provider for storage, customer service, and limited troubleshooting (as needed), otherwise your chat conversations are processed, disclosed, and retained solely for our own operational business purposes, such as training and further customer support. We also share your purchase details, website usage data, payment information and other relevant data with our fraud prevention service providers.

Legal and Safety Disclosures-We may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (1) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (2) protect the rights or property of our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of our Websites and services; or (3) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of our employees, customers or the public.

How do we use usage information?

We use Usage Information to help us determine how people use parts of the Website and who our readers are. This allows us to improve the functionality of our Website and debug, identify and repair errors to ensure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people as possible. We also use Usage Information to detect fraud and to provide statistical “ratings” information in aggregated form to our partners and other third parties about how our users collectively use the Website. We may combine Usage Information about you with other information, including Personal Information, about you in order to personalize the Website and our communications with you and to provide you with information likely to be of interest to you.

What steps are taken to help secure personal information?

However, no data transferred over the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure. Personal information collected at our Website is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.
