Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, we will not collect, use, or disclose your personal information without your consent, which consent may be expressed or implied. Generally, by providing us with your personal information, you are communicating your consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of such information for the purposes for which you provided the information to us and as described in this Privacy Statement. We may also seek consent at the time of collection or, in certain circumstances, thereafter (for example, when we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified).

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us by any of the ways described in the “Contact Information” section below. We will inform you of the implications of withdrawing consent.

We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes.

Service providers who provide support services to us or that help us market our products and services, including information processing, statistical analysis, customer support, delivery, and service calls. These service providers are obligated to protect your personal information;

Select third-party vendors, business partners, and other companies so that they can send you promotional materials about goods and services (including special offers and promotions) offered by them.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual in order to provide and improve our products, services, and advertising. Such information may include zip code, area code, age, gender, occupation, preferences, interests, and favorites. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Statement. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.

Automatic Data Collection/Use of Cookies

Our website has features that automatically keep track of the pages that you visit in order to determine which of our website’s services are the most popular. This data is used for us to deliver customized content and advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Our website automatically collects information about your computer hardware and software. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. We use this information to operate our website, to maintain the quality of the service on our website, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of our website.

Our website also uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize our web pages, or register with our website, a cookie helps the website recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features on our website that you have customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our services or of the pages of our website that you visit.

Location Based Services

If you have allowed our mobile application to access your location when you conduct a search, we and our business partners/service providers collect, use, and share your location and search data, including the approximate location of your device, the time and date of your search, and a unique identifier generated by the application. This information does not personally identify you and will be used by us and our business partners/service providers to provide and improve location-based products and services.

Security of your Personal Information

We use commercially reasonable precautions to protect and secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect customer information. Appropriate employees are authorized to access customer information for business purposes only. Our policies require employees to maintain the confidentiality of customer information, and employees are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to do so, up to and including termination. Information secured on our computer system is in a controlled, secure environment aimed at protecting it from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted via the internet, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Retention and Storage of Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws, and your consent to such purpose(s) remains valid after termination of your relationship with us.

Our website is not directed at individuals less than eighteen years of age, and we do not intend to collect any personal information from such individuals.

Our website may offer links to third-party websites, products, and services. In addition, you may have visited our website through a link or a banner advertisement on another website. This Privacy Statement does not apply to any third-party websites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites. We encourage you to review third-party privacy statements to understand how they collect, use, and share your information.
