Usage Data |

Cookies and Similar Technologies
First and Third-Party Cookies
A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” or “permanent” cookie). “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Persistent” or “permanent” cookies remain stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted by you. Local shared objects (or “flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. First-party cookies are set by the website you’re visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than that website.
Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with a website. For example, web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In addition, UTM codes are strings that can appear in a URL when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are in Use and Why Do We Use Them?
We use first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as to improve Site functionality, to measure and track how users interact with the Site, to perform similar analytics, to market to you, to track ad-driven activity, and to otherwise tailor our communications with you. For example:
Facebook Technologies. We use Facebook’s technologies (Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Connect) to serve relevant advertisements and to track Facebook ad-driven visitor activity on the Sites. Facebook Connect also gives you the option to post information about your activities to your profile page to share with others within your network by using a single sign-in service to authenticate your identity. You may learn more about Facebook’s policies by visiting https://www.facebook.com/policy.php, and you can also find instructions for opting out of receiving advertisements via that page. Facebook technologies rely on the following cookies:

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and to better understand how they find and use the Site. The data collected includes data related to your device/browser, your IP address, and on-site activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions. The information stored is reduced to a random identifier. Any data collected is used in accordance with this Policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may learn more about Google Analytics by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245. You can learn more about Google’s restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Google Tag Manager. We use Google Tag Manager, which allows marketed website tags to be managed using an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) does not use cookies and does not register identifiable data. The tool causes other tags to be activated which may, for their part, register personal data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this information. Google Tag Manager is subject to the Google Privacy Policy located at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.

Third Parties |

Service Providers |
We share information with our service providers that need access to information to provide operational or other support services on our behalf. Among other things, service providers help us to administer the Site; support our operations; provide technical support; send communications to you; and assist with other legitimate purposes permitted by law. For example:
We use Shopify to power our online store, and they are our ecommerce vendor. In order to provide the Site and our ecommerce platform, Shopify collects your name, email address, shipping and billing address, payment information, phone number, IP address, information about orders that are initiated, information about the Shopify-supported merchant stores that are visited by you, and information about the device and browser that you use. Shopify uses this information to provide us with the services, including supporting and processing orders, risk and fraud screening, authentication, and payments. Shopify also uses this information to improve its services. Because we use Shopify Pay, Shopify also stores and uses this information to pre-fill customer checkout information. Shopify also uses this information to help customize and improve the experience when you visit our store by presenting the goods and services that are more likely to be of interest to you. Shopify also uses personal information to conduct automated decision-making. For example, Shopify uses certain personal information (for example, IP addresses or payment information) to automatically block certain potentially fraudulent transactions for a short period of time. You can read more about how Shopify uses and shares personal information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. |

We may share your information with our and our affiliates’ insurers and professional advisors, including attorneys and accountants, that need access to your information to provide operational or other services on our behalf. |
Deidentified or Aggregated Data |
We may disclose aggregated information or de-identified information that does not identify any specific individual, such as groupings of demographic data or customer preferences. |
HOW LONG DO WE STORE AND USE YOUR INFORMATION?
We retain and use your information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to operate our business, and to enforce our agreements.
We may delete your information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of it is contrary to our objectives or legal obligations. When we delete data, it will be removed from our active servers and databases, but it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it.
To the extent permitted by law, we may retain and use anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for operational and product improvement.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We have put security measures in place to protect the personal information that you share with us from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorized manner. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods.
Shopify provides the online e-commerce platform for the Site, and your data is processed by Shopify. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. You may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption.
While our security measures seek to protect the personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission is 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information transmitted to or from the Site. Your use of the Site is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that your data will remain secure in all circumstances.
The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where you use a password for access to restricted parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.
If a data breach compromises your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.
