How We Collect Information

We may collect information from you in the following ways:

A. From You Directly: We receive Personal Information directly from you when you provide it to us, such as when you register for the Platform or place an order. Additionally, you may be required to provide Personal Information when you contact us for support or with a question so that we can respond appropriately.
B. Through Technology: We (or our vendors and partners) may use automated means to collect information about you and the device that you use to access the Platform. These automated means include technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies (described in more detail below). These technologies help us analyze trends, administer the Services, track your interaction with the Platform, understand your preferences habits, and gather Other Information. They also allow us to provide you with recommendations and content that are tailored to you.
C. Cookies: Our Platform uses cookies, web beacons and mobile application software development kits (“SDKs”) (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to gather information about you. Cookies are small text files that websites send to your device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Web beacons (sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or web bugs) are small strings of code that provide a way for us to deliver a small graphic image (usually invisible) on a web page or in an email. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your device such as cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, a description of the page where the web beacon is placed, and when you open or click on links in our emails.

An SDK is a third-party computer code that allows our third-party service providers or partners to collect information about your use of our mobile apps for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics, to integrate with social media platforms, to add features or functionality to our app, or to facilitate online advertising.

We use Tracking Technologies to administer the Services, including without limitation to:

• Authenticate Users
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Customize the content provided to you
• Determine the popularity of products or pages
• Deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertisements or advertising campaigns
• Improve our internal operations and the content of our Platform

We also may allow our partners to use Tracking Technologies on our Platform. Tracking Technologies used by these partners may be used to gather information about how you use with Platform, interact with advertisements, and your purchasing habits.

To learn more about cookies and similar Tracking Technologies, and how they can affect your privacy, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

D. Interest-Based Advertising: We (or our partners) may use the information we collect through Tracking Technologies, to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers). Specifically, this information may be used to tailor content and features presented to you and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. We may also use cross-device targeting to help identify you and serve advertising. If you wish to opt-out of cross device tracking for purposes of interest- based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising—and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.

You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of receiving certain tailored advertising by visiting (1) the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or (2) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link. To opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page.
