The following are the business purposes for which we may use your information:
  • To process and fulfill your orders, including for billing and fulfillment purposes related to your purchases of products on the Website and the VIP Club. For terms on the VIP Club, see our Terms of Service.
  • To personalize your user experience, such as by using cookies to allow you to set personal preferences when using the Website, and to make it so you don’t have to re-enter the same information when you visit the Website several times in a short timeframe.
  • To communicate with you, such as by responding to your requests, sending you marketing emails with information that may be of interest to you (see below for more information), notifying you about your purchases, logistics, deals, and promotional offers, and sending you any applicable updates to our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy.

www.networkadvertising.org/choices 
www.aboutads.info/choices 
 
  • To advertise public content to others, such as by sharing your reviews about us.
We may also use your information, combined with that of other users, to create deidentified “Aggregate Information,” which is statistical information about all users or a subset thereof and is pseudonymized and deidentified, i.e., cannot be used to identify or relate back to you. Aggregate Information may be used by Company for the purposes listed above. We may also use Aggregate Information to develop use cases that compare average industry trends. 
In other words, we process your data when necessary to perform our responsibilities under a contract with you (e.g., providing and processing payments for the products you have ordered), if we need to comply with a legal obligation, if necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests unless they are overridden by your interests or rights, to protect the vital interests of users, or when we have your consent to do so, which you may withdraw by contacting us as outlined below. 
  1. How do we disclose your information?
Company may disclose your information with the following third parties for the business and commercial purposes that are indicated:
  • Service Providers. Company shares your personal information with service providers, such as payment processors, couriers and fulfillment sources, shipping providers, customer service and support contractors and agencies, and marketing agencies, to complete and fulfill your orders, operate the Website, communicate with you, and so forth.
  • Affiliated Entities. Should Company be subject to an acquisition, merger, sale or other change of control or business entity status, or a bankruptcy, we reserve the right to transfer or assign your information as part of that acquisition, merger, sale, or bankruptcy. Company may also share your information with any affiliated entities, which are businesses that are directly related to us and have common ownership, where your information is still treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Government Officials and Other Parties. To comply with our legal obligations, we may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, and other valid legal processes. We may also disclose personal information when we believe it is necessary to prevent illegal, fraudulent, or injurious actions that may cause harm to individuals.

  • Other Users. We may share your Public Content, such as reviews and comments about the Website and our products, including by reposting your reviews on the Website, in our advertising, and through our social media accounts.
Company does not sell consumers’ personal information for money. However, please note that the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) defines “sale” of “information” very broadly to cover many common business activities, even when the information is partially de-identified and is not exchanged for money. As outlined above, the Website uses cookies and other tracking tools, including those placed by, and where information is shared with, third parties. The primary purpose of this practice is to deliver personalized advertisements that are specific to your interests and to avoid displaying repetitive or irrelevant advertisements to you. Although Company’s practices may not constitute a “sale” of personal information, you have the right to direct us to not use your information for these practices. You may do so by disabling cookies and other tools or visiting informational websites, as outlined above, or contacting us.
