Use of Aggregated Information
We may use information gathered through our Sites to create a compiled, aggregate view of our
Sites’ visitors and their usage patterns. We use aggregated information to operate our services
and to better understand visitors to our Sites as we develop new products and services. We may
also share aggregated information with our third-party service providers as well as with other
third parties so they can better understand the market we serve. Aggregate information is not
personally identifiable.
Use of Survey Information
From time to time, we may post a survey on our Sites or, if we have your contact information,
we may send you a questionnaire or survey. We compile statistical information from the
responses to our surveys. These statistics are not personally identifiable. These statistics help us
understand your needs and preferences and improve the content and functionality of our Sites.
How to Access, Update or Correct Your Personal Information
If you have registered on our Sites, you may be able to access, update or correct the Personal
Information you have submitted to us through your account. If you are unclear as to how to
access, update or correct your Personal Information, please contact us using the Contact Us link
below. We will respond to you within a reasonable time and, in any case, within the time limits
established by applicable law. We may ask you for additional information to verify your
identity. In most cases, we will provide access and correct or delete any inaccurate information
you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or
requires us to do so or if we are unable to verify your identify.
Steps We Take to Safeguard Your Personal Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the
confidentiality and security of Personal Information you submit on or through our Sites.
Unfortunately, no website, server, or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” We
therefore cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will not be disclosed, misused or lost
by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control dissemination of
Personal Information contained in User-Generated Content you post on or through our Sites, and
you should have no expectation of privacy in such information.
How We Share Your Personal Information with Others
With Credit Card Payment Processors. Some of our Sites permit you to use a credit card to
order and pay for products online. We work with a third-party vendor to process your credit card
payment, and we never receive, process, or store your credit card number. We provide to the
vendor not only the minimal data it needs to process your payment but also enhanced product
information (such as the names of the products you purchased and their unit price). The vendor
and other downstream payment processors use this data to process your transaction, to provide to
you a more detailed credit card statement, and/or for their own marketing purposes. By
providing enhanced product information to the vendor, we can reduce the fees we pay on each
transaction, which in turn keeps product costs down.
