1. What information do we collect from our online customers?
For those individuals who visit our site but do not make a purchase, we collect and store IP (“Internet Protocol”) addresses during the visit. No individualized information is collected, and the IP address is not traced to a particular individual. Similarly, we collect information, using that IP address, about the navigational or browsing activities of our visitors. Again, that information is not tied to any name or other personally identifying information but is used solely to anonymous statistical data (such as what geographic areas our visitors are from and visitor browsing patterns) and to ensure that the Site works correctly. We do not use such data to identify you. Except to prevent or investigate fraudulent or criminal activity, this information is deleted promptly after we use it.
For those who make a purchase through the Site, in order to fulfill the order, we collect and store your name, address, shipping information, email address, purchase data, and billing information.
