We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you use this website. For example, we collect information about the devices you use to connect to our services (such as the IP address of your computer or numeric identifier of your mobile device) and about how you use the website (such as what time you visited). We, and our advertisers and ad servers, may also collect non-personal information outside of this website to measure the success of our advertising campaigns. We use the non-personal information that we collect for a variety of purposes, such as to improve our website and marketing efforts.
Our website also uses third-party analytics vendors such as Google Analytics and HotJar.

All information that you share about yourself, whether PII or not, in a public open forum – such as on a social media network – will be considered public information for the purposes of this policy. Please be aware that information that you provide on social media or other public open forums may be available to other users or the general public. If you don’t want it to be public, please adjust your privacy settings accordingly.
COOKIES
We may use “cookies" and other similar technologies to collect information in connection with our website and advertisements. A “cookie” is a computer file that acts as an identification card for your computer to distinguish your browser from others and enable us to serve you better. For example, we use cookies to save products in your shopping cart while you browse our websites and to track the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns. We do not use these technologies to collect PII. We may also use technologies, such as our own cookies, to provide you with personalized online display advertising tailored to your interests.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You may be able to set your browser to reject and/or delete cookies. However, if you reject or delete cookies, it may disable or interfere with features of this website or other websites you visit.

We do not disclose your PII to third parties, except as follows:
- To companies that provide services to us or perform functions on our behalf (such as processing credit card payments or taking orders) and have agreed to use your information only for the purposes we request;
- When we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with applicable law, legal process, and/or governmental authorities; and
- When we believe disclosure is appropriate to enforce other agreements, or to protect our rights, our customers, our property, our employees, or others;
- After giving you notice and an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
We may disclose de-identified, aggregated, or other non-personal information to third parties at our discretion.
