If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Site.
The Site is intended for adults of legal purchasing age in their respective jurisdictions, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under the age of 21 in the United States or from anyone under the legal purchase age in their respective jurisdiction. If you are not of the legal purchase age in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you are not authorized to use the Site; please stop any use immediately.
The information we collect on or through our Site may include:

When using the Site, you may be asked to provide various types of personally identifiable information to enhance your experience on the Site and with us. For example, when you purchase a product from our Site or sign up to receive notices, promotions or special offers, we may ask you for personal information such as your name, street address, city, state, zip code, email address, age, and gender. If you send a gift to another person, we collect that person's full name and shipping address. Our purpose in gathering this personal information is so we can fulfill a transaction, send you requested information about our products or company, or otherwise address your specific requests or needs. We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of any website before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction.
We collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they "click" on. We collect this information through the use of technologies such as "cookies" and "IP addresses," which are discussed in greater detail below. We collect this information in order to determine which areas of the Site are most popular and to enhance the Site for visitors. We also may group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request. However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site.
We may use or disclose personal information collected from you in the following ways: to complete your purchase transactions; to respond to your requests and to provide the services you request; to send you offerings or communications through email and direct mail; to contact you about the status of your orders; to enable our third party operational service providers to perform certain services on our behalf for your benefit; to identify your product and service preferences, so that you can be informed of new or additional products, services, and promotions that might be of interest to you that are offered by us; and to improve our website, merchandise selection, customer service, and overall customer experience.
We may use operational service providers to perform certain services on our behalf, including, without limitation, hosting and maintaining the Site, fulfilling purchase orders, managing our mailing lists, storing, processing, and transmitting data, creating and executing email campaigns, and providing marketing assistance, web analytics, and data analysis. We may provide your personal information to these operational service providers when the information is necessary for them to perform their duties, and we request that our operational service providers protect your privacy and only use such information in connection with performing their duties.
Additionally, in the event of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or liquidation, we may transfer, sell, or assign to third parties information concerning your relationship with us, including without limitation, information that you provide and other information concerning your relationship with us. Moreover, we collect, use, or disclose your personal information or internet use information if permitted by law or required to do so by law or where we believe such action is necessary in order to protect or defend us or other third parties against illegal or harmful activity.
