INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information about you in a few different ways, including when you provide it to us directly through the Services and from your interaction with our Services. Certain third parties may also collect information about you, either directly or from your interaction with our Services.


Information You Provide to Us.

We collect information that you voluntarily give to us. When you create an account to browse and purchase products in the shop, you provide us information like your name, address, email address, telephone number, and credit card and billing information. We may also collect content you choose to post to our Services, like comments, product reviews and ratings, and videos and photos. For example, you may upload a photo to the shop in order to customize merchandise you would like to purchase. We also collect information that you voluntarily give to us about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and email address to share content or product recommendations through our “tell-a-friend” feature; or if you order a gift and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name, address, and telephone number. By submitting information to us about other people, you confirm that you have obtained permission from each of those people to share their information.


Information We Collect from Your Interaction with the Service.

We also collect certain information when you use our Services, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and the version of your browser, the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android), the domain name of your Internet service provider or mobile carrier, IP address, mobile device IP address (e.g., MAC address), unique device identifier, your precise location information, and certain usage information.


Information Provided or Collected Through Social Media.

You can also engage with our Services through third party social media plug-ins and applications, such as those offered by Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and others. You may also choose to link your account with us to third party social media sites, for example, through Facebook Connect. When you link your account or engage with such plug-ins or applications, you may allow us to have ongoing access to certain information from your social media account (e.g., name, e-mail address, profile photo, gender, birthday, location, your list of friends and their contact information, people you follow and/or who follow you, the posts or the 'likes' you make).


When you provide information to us from your social media account, it can help enable us to do things like personalize your online experience with us, and enable us to contact you, through the social media sites or directly, with the latest news, special offerings, and rewards. By providing such information, you consent to the use of the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


If you post information or content, such as by posting photos, commenting or reviewing products, or when you interact with our Services through social media plug-ins or other applications, this information may, depending on your privacy settings, become public on the Internet. Therefore, we cannot prevent further use of this information. You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social media sites. For more information about how you can customize your privacy settings and how third party social media sites handle your personal information, please refer to their privacy help guides, privacy policies and terms of use.
