Information Indirectly Collected from You

Please note that, if you are visiting our website from a location outside the United States or Canada, you will be connected through and to servers located in the United States.  So the information collected as described in this section will be collected and stored in the United States.

Cookies. We automatically collect information from you using cookies, which are small text files offered to your computer by servers in order to keep track of your browser as you navigate our website. We may use cookies and similar technologies to identify who you are and may use them when you visit our website, click on our ads, or click on links in our emails. Cookies also enable us to remember your user preferences for our website. Cookies may be “session-only” or “persistent.” Persistent cookies last for more than one visit and are typically used to allow a visitor to our website to personalize their experience.

We may use cookies to analyze the traffic on our website (such as total visitors and pages viewed), to personalize features or save you the trouble of retyping your name or other information, and to make improvements to the website based on the data we collect. We do not save passwords or other sensitive information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the Internet industry, especially on websites that provide any kind of personalized service.

Cookies may also be placed by third parties prior to or during your visit to the website. Our affiliates and business partners may use these cookies in connection with pixel tracking (discussed below) or otherwise. We do not control these cookies. The use of cookies by advertisers has become standard practice in the Internet industry.

You can block or remove cookies using your Internet browser’s settings. Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you block or remove cookies, you may not be able to perform certain transactions, use certain functionality, or access certain content on our website.

Pixel Tracking. We and our business partners may employ a common technique usually referred to as “pixel tracking” to measure the effectiveness of marketing and advertisements, as well as compile aggregate usage statistics. Pixel tracking, which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites, on our Web Site or in e-mail messages, involves the use of pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs,” “web beacons” or “1-by-1 gifs”) that are not visible to the user of the site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. For example, if you visit our website from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag will reference the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The pixel tag also may register this activity with a business partner to allow us to count the number of times or when an advertisement is accessed. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research. Personal Information about you is not collected by pixel tracking, nor is any tracking information generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used for any other purpose other than to report website activity to us.

“Do Not Track” is a privacy setting that users can set in certain web browsers. If turned on, this setting requests that website not track information about users. At this time, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings or signals.

Traffic Data. We automatically track and collect general log information when you visit our website, including your: (a) Internet Protocol (IP) address; (b) domain server; (c) operating system; and (d) type of web browser; and (e) the pages you visit on our website (collectively “Traffic Data”). We use the Traffic Data to report aggregated website activity and to better understand the needs of our users so we can make informed decisions regarding the content and design of our website. We may collect Traffic Data through various technologies including, but not limited to, cookies, IP addresses, and pixel tags. While it is not our practice to link IP addresses to your Personal Information, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to protect the compelling interest of our website, customers or others, or to comply with laws, court orders, or law enforcement requests.

Third Party Websites and Social Media Services. Our website may include links to third party websites or social media services where you may be able to post comments, reviews or other information. We may monitor comments and reviews regarding us, our products, or our Sites that you publicly post on social media or customer review sites.

E.U. Privacy Rights

Under certain circumstances, individuals within the European Economic Area have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information as set out below:

In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
