Any personal data (for example, your name, address, telephone number, or email address) that you transmit to the Site by electronic mail or otherwise will be used by the Company in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any other communication or material you transmit to the Site, such as questions, comments, suggestions or the like, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

**1. WHAT INFORMATION IS GATHERED?**
- **Information You Give Us:** When you are ordering or registering, we may ask you to supply your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other information. Simply visiting the Site does not require you to provide any such information, but then certain features of the Site may not be available to you.
- **Automatic Information:** We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us, including IP addresses and session identifiers. Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our Site. Please refer to the “Do we use ‘cookies’?” section below for information about cookies and how we use them.
- **Information from Other Sources:** For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
**2. How do we respond to “do not track” signals?**
Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser-based “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals other than cookies, we do not currently respond to or provide visitors with a different Site experience based on undefined “DNT” signals to the Site.
**3. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?**
We may use the information we collect from you when you register, purchase products or services, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the Site, or use certain other Site features in the following ways:

- To process your transactions.
- To communicate with you.
- To administer a promotion, survey, or other Site feature.
- To display advertising based on your likely interests (often called “interest-based ads”). For more information about interest-based ads and your choices, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
**4. DO WE DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?**

- **Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:** We work closely with our affiliated businesses.
