This request includes contact information such as your name, email address, and postal address, as well as financial information such as a credit card number and its expiration date. We use this information for billing purposes and to fill orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we also will use this information to contact you.

In addition, if you contact us by email through our Website, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence. We reserve the right to use your email address and any other PII that you provide to us to respond to your inquiries and to send you marketing materials for our own products and services. Certain of our uses are non-exhaustively described below. We will not share your information with outside parties who wish to market other products and services to you.

We also collect non-personally identifiable information via this Website (“Non-PII”) such as the name of your internet service provider, the IP address of the computer or device you are using, the type of browser and operating system that you use, the date and time you access our Website, the website referrer address and other log file information.
