Collection of Personal Information
We collect personal information directly from you when you visit and interact with the Site, as we buy media to build consumer awareness, and when you open and/or click on email advertisements, as well as if you request to unsubscribe from receiving future email advertisements from us.
The types of personal information that we collect automatically through the Site include (i) your IP address; (ii) the referring web page; (iii) your age range; (iv) cookies, beacons, pixel tags, and mobile ad identifiers; and (v) geolocation data. Our servers automatically recognize your IP address each time you visit the Site and the web page from which you came. Your IP address is used to help identify you and gather broad demographic information about you and to better tailor our product and service offerings contained within the Site. Your IP address can also be used to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer the Site. We also collect additional personal information that you submit to us through the Site including (i) your first name; (ii) your last name; (iii) your email address; (iv) your telephone number; and (v) any other information requested in a web form contained on the Site.
The first time that a user provides an e-mail address in connection with their activities at the Site, we assign an identification number to that e-mail address and deploy a cookie to the applicable user’s PC. A cookie is a small data text file, which is stored on your computer’s hard drive (if your web browser permits) and can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Cookies make your use of the Site easier, make the Site run more smoothly, and help us to maintain a secure Site. The cookies may collect information about you, such as the referring website address, your IP address, your browser type and version, your Internet service provider, the area code and zip code associated with your server, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on the Site. Whenever a user comes back to the Site using the same PC, the cookie allows the Site to identify the user and to recall the user’s e-mail address. If, at any time, a user provides other information in connection with their activities on the Site (such as name, address, etc.), we may store that information, along with a user’s e-mail address, in our database. We may use the information stored in our database: (i) to effectuate the purpose or transaction for which the information was originally provided by a user; (ii) to ensure that a user will not be repeatedly exposed to the same advertisements, offers and/or promotions while visiting the Site; (iii) to pre-populate information fields if user wishes to purchase products and/or services or sign up for and/or subscribe to services, promotions or other offers in the future; (iv) to, in connection with regular communication with a user, include offers, promotions or advertisements that were historically, or are likely to be, of interest to that user; or to track your use of the Site, and to customize the content that you might see on the Site. To disable and reject cookies, adjust the settings via the options menu of your Internet browser. Many web browsers offer their users to opt to not be tracked, however, unless otherwise required by law, we do not guarantee that we will respond to such Do Not Track signals.
Other methods of tracking: An action tag or a web beacon (also known as a clear gif/pixel tag) is a method used to track responses or actions by visitors who view certain advertisements and/or other information on the Site. Action tags are 1×1 pixel images embedded in a website page that are used to transparently collect information. We may use action tags to count the number of times that visitors click on a particular banner ad or visit the pages of the Site and to provide information about what products/services are viewed or purchased. We reserve the right to retain this cookie and action tag data indefinitely and to share information generated by these cookies and action tags with our advertisers, affiliates, and service providers.
We also collect personal information through advertising networks, internet service providers (ISPs), operating systems, and social networks.
