Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through our reseller, they collect and share with us certain information from you, including your name, billing address, payment information (including credit card numbers, PayPal information, or other payment information), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

If you subscribe to our email list, our email service provider records which emails you have opened, and which links you have clicked. We refer to this information as “Email Information.”
