Privacy Policy  

​

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit our website. We take your privacy SERIOUSLY and will take all measures to protect your personal information. 

​

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

When you visit our website, 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 our website, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our website, and information about how you interact with our website. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

 

We collect Device Information using cookies. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a site visitor's browser, usually used to keep track of your movements and actions on a site.

 

There are two types of cookies:

 

• Session (Transient) cookies: These cookies are erased when you close your browser and do not collect information from your computer. They typically store information in the form of a session identification that does not personally identify the user.

• Persistent (Permanent or Stored) cookies: These cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire (i.e. they are based on the set expiration date) or until you delete them. These cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as Web surfing behaviour or user preferences for a specific site.

 

For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

 

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

​

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with our website, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

 

HOW DO WE STORE YOUR DATA?

 

Your data are stored on secure servers behind a firewall. All direct payment gateways used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

• To provide the product or service you have requested

We use Google Analytics, which relies on a number of persistent and session cookies, to help us understand how our customers use our website--you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.  You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here:  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
