概述

While the entire Notice is important, we want to highlight a few points that we believe will be of interest, depending on whether you interact with us through our websites or through a customer portal. More information about our practices is provided in the Notice below.

What personal data do we collect and how do we use it?

In the last 12 months, we collected and used the following categories of personal data:

• Identifiers, such as name, email address, and postal address. We collect this information directly from you or from business partners who assist us with technical, payment, and delivery services. We use it to provide and improve our website and services, communicate with you, and manage and fulfill orders and purchases.
• Customer Records, such as name, phone number, postal address, and payment information. We collect this information directly from you or from business partners who assist us with technical, payment, and delivery services. We use it to communicate with you, manage and fulfill orders and purchases, conduct other business operation such as billing or collections, and comply with legal obligations.
• Commercial Information, such as product purchase history or transaction history. We collect this information directly from you. We use it to manage and fulfill orders and purchases, conduct other business operations such as billing or collections, and comply with legal obligations.
• Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information. We collect this information from your device or browser. We use it to provide and improve our website and services, perform analytics, deliver advertising and marketing, and measure and understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you and others.
• Professional and Educational Information, such as your work history and education background. We collect this information directly from you or from third parties you have authorized to provide us such information (like references or former employers). We use it to consider your candidacy for employment and to communicate with you throughout the recruitment process.

For our customer portals, we also collect account login data, which may be deemed sensitive under the privacy laws of certain states. We do not use this information for any purpose other than those permitted under applicable privacy law.

We neither target our Website to minors nor knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected or received personal data from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete such data from our active databases.

How do we disclose your personal data?

In the last 12 months, we have not disclosed personal data to a third party (as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act) for a business purpose. We do, however, provide personal data to others in limited circumstances. We disclose information to our:

• Affiliates, for purposes of supporting our business operations, which may include legal and administrative support.
• Business Partners. These are people or companies who get the data to perform services for us, including operating our Website, monitoring and analyzing web traffic, managing customer information databases, sending communications for us, executing marketing programs and delivering ads, processing payments and calculating sales tax or other required tax, processing and shipping product orders, delivering products and services, and helping us with our recruiting efforts. Our partners can only use the information for purposes we specify.
• Marketing Partners. These are companies who help us provide you more relevant advertising. These disclosures are addressed further in the "Do we sell or share your information" category below.

We may also disclose information to others: (1) if we believe there has been a violation of our website policies; (2) if we believe that someone may be causing injury to our rights or property, other users, or anyone else; (3) to respond to judicial process or to provide information to law enforcement; (4) as required by law; or (5) in connection with a corporate reorganization, such as a merger or asset acquisition.

Do we sell or share personal data?

We do not provide your information to third parties in exchange for money. However, we use cookies to disclose limited personal data to some of our trusted partners so that they can provide you tailored advertising based on your interactions with us and others online. Some jurisdictions consider our practice as us selling your personal data or disclosing it for targeted advertising (which California calls "sharing"). In the last 12 months, we have sold and shared the following categories of personal data: Internet and Electronic Network Activity Information. Given that we limit our collection of data concerning minors, we do not have actual knowledge that we sold or shared personal data on anyone who is younger than 16 years old.

If you do not want us to sell your personal data or use it for targeted advertising, you can choose to opt out by exercising your rights discussed below. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

How do we safeguard your personal data?

We recognize the importance of maintaining the security of your information, and so we have implemented technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized processing.

The Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, social networks or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
