Your information may be shared with third parties for fulfilling your orders and providing newsletters or other communications.

Third-party functionality, such as from Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and advertising networks, may be directly accessible through the Website. Social media widgets and advertising units placed on the Website may allow these third parties to gather information about your activities through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, even if you do not engage with them.

Use of Web Technologies

Cookies

We use cookies on the Website, which are small text files stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. Both session ID cookies and persistent cookies are utilized. Session ID cookies expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain on the hard drive for a longer duration. The information stored in cookies may be linked to your personally identifiable information submitted on the Website. Persistent cookies are also used to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the Website experience. Removing persistent cookies can be done by following the directions in your internet browser’s “help” file. However, rejecting cookies may limit your ability to use certain areas of the Website.

Tracking Pixels

We utilize tracking pixels to provide us with insights into the effectiveness of our content. Tracking pixels track the online behavior of website visitors. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, tracking pixels are embedded invisibly on website pages and may be included in emails to monitor email opens. This helps us assess the success of particular communications and activities. However, we do not link the information obtained through tracking pixels to any personally identifiable information.

Log Files

Similar to most websites, we collect and store information automatically in log files. This data includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, internet service providers (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating systems, date and time stamps, and clickstream data. We utilize this data, which does not identify specific users, to analyze trends, administer the Website, monitor user traffic throughout the Website, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Communications

Once you furnish us with personally identifiable information, we may send you a welcome email. In addition, we may contact you to respond to your inquiries, fulfill any services you request, or provide newsletters and other updates that you request. If you wish to discontinue receiving emails from us, you may opt out at any time.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify, amend or otherwise change this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion, without your consent and without prior notice. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page. 

No Guarantee

Although we take all reasonable precautions to adhere to this Privacy Policy, it is not possible for us to guarantee that your information will remain completely secure due to potential threats such as hacking attempts, unauthorized access by employees, and other unforeseen circumstances.
