Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Our goal is to treat the personal information you furnish us with the utmost respect and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We request that you carefully read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use before using the website. By visiting, viewing or using the website in any manner, you are agreeing to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy, as well as the Terms of Use for the website.

This policy describes the types of personally identifiable information (“PII”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-PII”) we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our website and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information. PII includes information such as your name, address, phone number, ZIP code, email address and similar information. Non-PII is non-personally identifiable information, and may include, for example, your IP address, browser type, domain names, access dates and similar information.

Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It

You can visit us on the internet without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your email address. In this case, our web servers may collect the name of the domain you used to access the internet (such as aol.com) and the website you came from and visit next. This information is used by us and our business partners to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views and other statistics about visitors to our website in general. We also use this data to monitor site performance and to make the site easier and more convenient to use.

There are times when we may ask you for information about yourself to assist us in meeting your various needs. In these cases, your browsing will no longer be anonymous to us. To provide these services, we may need to ask you directly to provide, among other things, your name, Social Security number, physical address, ZIP code, email address and phone number.

Please note that we do not knowingly solicit information from children and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.

Sharing Information and Consumer Choice

When you provide information to us, we may share your information, to the extent provided by applicable law, with our affiliated companies and third parties for the purpose of fulfilling your requests as well as offering you other services that may be of interest to you. It is not shared with any third party, unless requested by you or permitted by law. Under no circumstance will we sell your information or transfer your information to any ad network, ad exchange, data broker or other advertising or monetization related service. We may also aggregate statistics that we gather about our customers, sales, traffic patterns and services, and provide these statistics to third parties; however, when we do, these statistics will not include any personal information that identifies individuals. SMS opt-in consent or phone numbers collected for SMS purposes will NOT be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

Cookies

If you are browsing, a cookie is used to help us measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views and other statistics relating to our website. This cookie, by itself, does not reveal to us your email address or who you are. If you decide to register online with us, we may collect additional information to provide tailored offerings or content to you. In this case, we use cookies to recognize you on subsequent visits and make your online experience more convenient.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. They cannot be used to collect data from your hard drive or to obtain your email address or personal identifying information about you. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being sent.

Handling of ‘Do Not Track’ Signals

The California Online Privacy Protection Act provides that a website operator must:

“Disclose how the operator responds to web browser ‘do not track’ signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services, if the operator engages in that collection.”

It is important for you to know that we do not engage in the type of collection referenced in the California law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify or supplement this Privacy Policy statement at any time. If we make any material change, we will update our website to include such changes. A notice that our privacy policy has been updated will be displayed on our website homepage. You are responsible for periodically visiting our website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
