We collect information that personally identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with you (“Personal Information”), including:

Personal Identifiers (e.g., name, IP address, login username & password)
Personal Characteristics (e.g., gender, marital status)
Contact Information (e.g., mailing address, email address, phone number, fax number)
Commercial Information (e.g., shopping and purchase history)
Financial Account Information (e.g., credit card number, checking account number)
Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity (e.g., browsing history, search history, other information regarding your use of our Website(s) or Services that can be associated with you)
Professional or Employment-Related Information (e.g., occupation, employer)
Inferences drawn from the above categories of Personal Information that relate to your characteristics and preferences.
To provide the Website(s) and perform the Services offered, we may need to collect and distribute your Personal Information to our trusted business partners who fulfill the services you request. If such information is capable of being personally associated with you, we will treat it as Personal Information, otherwise we will treat it as Usage Data.

Usage Data and Site Activity
We automatically collect information in connection with the actions you take on the Website(s) and in connection with using the Services (“Usage Data”). For example, each time you use the Website(s), we automatically collect the type of web browser you use, your operating system, your Internet Service Provider, the pages you view, and the time and duration of your visits to the Website(s).

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION
Voluntary Disclosure
We may ask you to provide us with Personal Information when you register with the Website(s), make a purchase, and at other times. You are not required to provide us your Personal Information; however, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some or all of the features of the Website(s) or Services or we may not be able to fulfill your purchase.

Surveys
From time to time we, or third parties retained by us, may request Personal Information from you via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you have a choice whether to disclose Personal Information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), demographic information (such as zip code), and product usage and preferences.

Third-Party Data Sources
We collect Personal Information from third-party data sources such as the United States Postal Service and data brokerage companies. This Personal Information may be appended to Personal Information we have already collected from or about you to create a “profile” for you.

Cookies
We use cookies (a small text file placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser) to improve the experience of the Website(s) and Services, such as saving your preferences from visit to visit to present you with a customized version of the Website. Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of the Website(s) or Services may not work if you delete or disable cookies.

We use the following types of cookies:

Cookies: Session cookies keep track of you or your information as you move from page to page within the Website(s) and are typically deleted once you close your browser. For example, session cookies allow your online shopping cart to function properly.

Persistent Cookies: Persistent cookies reside on your system and allow us to customize your experience if you leave and later return to the Website(s). For example, persistent cookies may allow us to remember your preferences.

Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies are used to learn more about you and advertise products/services that might interest you. For example, if you look at lingerie on our Website(s), we may infer that you are interested in lingerie and send you advertisements about lingerie.

Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies help us understand how our Website(s) is working and who is visiting our Website(s). Google Analytics is one tool we use, and you can learn more by reviewing Google’s Privacy Policy.

Online Behavioral Advertising
We may work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks (“Advertisers”) to learn more about you and show you ads or other content that we believe would be relevant to you. Advertisers may collect and use information about your use of the Website(s) or Services as well as other websites and services. These companies may use cookies and other online tracking technologies to collect and use your information. We and/or Advertisers may also append other data to the data collected by Advertisers to create an interest profile of individual users. We try to retain and analyze data in a way that anonymizes it, but it is possible that we may collect or use Personal Information as part of our online behavioral advertising activities. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that an Advertiser may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via the Website(s), the Services, or on third-party websites. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative website at www.networkadvertising.org, which offers information about Internet advertising companies and how to opt out of their information collection.

Tracking Pixels and Clear GIFs
We employ software technology that enables us to track certain aspects of a user’s visit to the Website(s). This technology helps us better manage content on the Website(s) by informing us what content is effective, how consumers engage with the Website(s), and how consumers arrive at and/or depart from the Website(s). The software typically uses two methods to track user activity: (1) “tracking pixels” and (2) “clear gifs.” Tracking pixels are pieces of executable code that are embedded in a web page that track usage activity including which pages are viewed, when they are viewed, and how long the pages are viewed. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers which are embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether or not a user has viewed a particular web page or email message. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user’s session, such as IP addresses and the type of browser used, and Personal Information, if provided by the user.

If you arrive at the Website(s) by “clicking through” from another website, then certain information about you that you provided to that other website, such as the terms you were searching on that led you to the Website(s), may be transmitted to us and we may use it. You should review the Privacy Policy of any website from which you reached the Website(s) to determine what information was collected by that website and for what purpose(s) you agreed that website could use that information. We may retain information about you provided to us by other websites and will only use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such information may be associated with other Usage Data or Personal Information.

Google Analytics Advertising Features
We have implemented certain Google Analytics Advertising Features, including Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting and Remarketing with Google Analytics. We use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie), along with other first-party identifiers, third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) and other third-party identifiers, not only to improve the site experience for our users, but also to aggregate the characteristics and browsing habits of our users, on an anonymized basis, to provide products and services that are more tailored to our users. We also use these types of cookies and identifiers to improve and target our marketing and remarketing efforts and serve ads based on our users’ prior visits to our website.

Social Media Widgets
The Website(s) may include social media features, such as the Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter widgets. These features may collect information about your IP address and the pages you visit on our site as well as other Personal Information. A cookie may be set to ensure that a feature properly functions. Your interactions with social media features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.
