“Geolocation Data” including physical location or movements.

While our focus is products, not people, the nature of our product line means that we also collect information which could suggest your interest in products that may be associated with a specific racial or ethnic category and/or set of religious or philosophical beliefs.

“Purchasing History” – we maintain a history of products you have purchased, rented, and/or returned.

We obtain Personal Information from the following categories of sources: Directly from you including, without limitation, when you: (1) open an account; (2) complete and submit an order on our websites or from our catalogs; (3) request a catalog; (4) submit a customer review; (5) create a registry with a Gift Registry Service; (6) enter a contest; (7) communicate with customer service; (8) conduct a search; or (9) subscribe to a newsletter or customer alert.

Indirectly from you through observing your actions on our websites or from information your computer or mobile device transmits when interacting with our websites or mobile applications.

From the following categories of third party sources: Search Engines such as Google and Bing; Social Networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram; professional mailing list companies; mailing list exchanges and co-ops; postal and delivery services; fulfillment services; data analysis companies; and marketing, promotional, advertising, retargeting and remarketing service providers. Third parties may use cookies, pixels, unique identifiers and similar technologies for online behavioral advertising, remarketing and retargeting purposes. We receive and collect personal information from third parties which we add to your account, such as contact information.

We receive and collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address, geolocation data, the browser and operating system you are utilizing, the date and time of your visit, the pages of the site which you visit, the Internet address of the website from which you linked to our site and any promotion identifiers contained in these links, and the Internet address of any website to which you link from our site.

Cookies and other identifiers

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer. A cookie can be thought of as an Internet user's ID card. They let the website know when the user has returned. This lets the site bring up information relevant to that user, for example your name, past orders, etc.

Cookies make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping cart or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit. We use cookies to allow customers to move from one part of the web site to another and to add items to the shopping cart without having to log in repeatedly.

We also use cookies to track visitors' interest in our products. We may use this to understand what most appeals to our customers so we can make our offers as appropriate as possible. Browsing behavior is also used to create relevant banner advertising with product recommendations that we believe best relate to the items you viewed on our website. These banners are then served across other websites that you may visit. This process is called behavioral advertising and although the ads are individually tailored to each visitor, all cookie data is anonymized and stored temporarily. We use the browsing behavior data to create personal product recommendations on our website, our marketing emails and in our printed catalog.

How we use Personal Information

We use the Personal Information which we collect for one or more of the following business purposes: process, track, and fulfill your order; communicate with you regarding your order; create a gift certificate; respond to a request for information; send you catalogs or promotional information and material, including information regarding products or services that may be of interest to you; send you newsletters, customer alerts, and email; communicate with you regarding products you have purchased; improve our websites; enhance our customer service; track customer preferences; improve and enhance our product selection; administer our loyalty programs; to protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our customers, and other third parties; to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Information held by us is among the assets transferred; and to respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
