The products and services offered via the Site are intended for purchase only by users who reside in the United States.

The categories of personal information that you may provide include, but are not limited to:
- Identifiers, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, or email address;
- Commercial information, such as marketing preferences, reminder preferences, and notification preferences; and
- Communications, such as comments, suggestions, or other content that you generate.
You may choose not to provide us with the above categories of information. If you choose not to provide us with this information, you may still access and use portions of the Site. However, you may not be able to use portions of the Site which require you to provide personal information.
Information Automatically Collected From You. When you visit the Site, we may collect information automatically using cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies from your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device used to access the Site, as well as related software. Cookies are small strings of text sent by our website to your browser which are then stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies allow us to personalize your experience on the Site, make your visit more convenient, and understand how you and others are using the Site so that we can improve your experience on the website. We use cookies to, among other things, identify repeat visitors to our Site and to determine the paths visitors take on our Site. We also use cookies to determine whether you visited our Site from a particular Internet link or advertisement.
We also may use web beacons (small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of web sites) and auditing software to track page views and entry and exit points to and from emails. In addition, we use web beacons, cookies, customized links and/or similar technologies to determine whether any emails or electronic publications sent by us to those who have requested them from us have been opened and which links are clicked.
Our third-party service providers and business partners may also place cookies, beacons, or similar technology to support and improve our Site. For example, we use Google Analytics or similar web traffic analytic tools to help analyze how users use the Site. Such tools use information generated by cookies about your use of the web site (including IP address, content viewed, search terms entered, and actions taken), which is transmitted to an analytics provider. This information is then used to evaluate users' use of the Site and to compile statistical reports on web site activity for us. We also work with third party advertising networks to promote our Site elsewhere on the web, including through online behavioral advertising.
The information we collect automatically may include but is not limited to the following categories of information:
- Identifiers (e.g., IP address, mobile advertising identifiers, MAC address, other device IDs);
- Geolocation data based on IP address demographics (location, language, country of origin, etc.);
- Technical device data (e.g., domain server, type of device, type of web browser); and
- Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., access times, pages visited, search history, referring web site addresses, interactions with Site features).
We collect the above information from the following categories of sources:
- Other parts of our corporate family
- Third party service providers
- Advertising networks
You may have options to make choices about automatic data collection as described in the Your Choices section below.

- With Analytics and Advertising Providers. We may share personal information with analytics and advertising providers (including advertisers, ad networks, and ad servers) that use the information in combination with information collected from third-party websites and mobile applications so that they can provide us with reports about Site usage and deliver relevant content or ads on their own websites or applications or other third-party websites or applications. The information we share with these parties may include the content and ads users have viewed and activities on the Site. See the “Your Choices” section below for choices you may have about such practices.

How We Protect Your Information
We have administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the information we collect.
