Personal Information Collected

We recognize the need for consumers to control the use and management of personal information. By personal information we mean information that can be used to identify or contact an individual. This may include, but is not limited to, a first and last name, a physical address, an email address, a credit card number, a date of birth, or a phone number. We may, from time to time, collect information from parents about their minor children (for example, we may ask about your child’s date of birth), for purposes of marketing and providing products and services. If you are a parent providing personal information about your minor child, your provision of such information constitutes your consent to our collection of such information and your consent to our use of the information for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you are visiting our Website to browse or find information about our products or services, you do not need to provide any personal information about yourself or about any other person. If you decide to register or make a purchase, however, we may collect this information so that we can provide you with the product or service you requested.

  • Information that you provide by filling in forms on our Website. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Website or purchasing our products or services. We may also ask you for information when you enter a contest, promotion, or sweepstakes sponsored by us, and when you report a problem with our Website.

Automatic Information Collected

Like most website operators and social media, we collect certain information automatically, without your input, of the sort that web browsers and servers and social media typically make available, such as your internet connection, operating system, browser type, language preference, referring site or source, location data, and other usage details. Our purpose in collecting this automatic information is to better understand how our visitors use the Website and social media. This information, and information about internet IP and social media, as well as the date and time web pages are visited, are stored in various security and traffic logs. Our service provider reviews these logs, using statistical analysis, in an effort to track and predict traffic patterns and estimate resource needs. Unless we are tracking down a technical problem or we suspect either fraudulent behavior or illegal conduct, we do not trace specific user sessions.  We may also track precise geolocation data, such as location-based information, when you allow our Website to access your location.
