are not comfortable with any of the terms or policies described in this Policy, you
may choose to discontinue usage of the Platform.
Further, you agree and consent to receive all communications related to our

Notwithstanding your registration with the National Do Not Call Registry (In Fully or

HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We communicate with you through a variety of means and channels, including our
Platform, email, phone or text messaging on your mobile phone, although we do
generally note that our preferred means of communication is email which has the
least impact on the environment. Such communications may involve giving to you, as
well as receiving information from you. We collect and receive the Personal
Information in the following ways:
When you submit your Personal Information on our Platform: The Company
collects and stores the Personal Information that you provide while using our
Platform including when you enter your Personal Information into data fields on the
Platform as part of a voluntary registration process. We also collect and store your

example, you may submit your name, postal address, e-mail address, and/or other
information in order to register, place orders for the Products, receive information
about various Products, register for newsletters, receive offers, contact Company’s
customer care service, or respond to the Company’s surveys. To protect your
privacy, you should not provide the Company with any information that is not
specifically requested or that you do not wish to share. You can choose not to

certain features of our Platform.
Automatic collection: We automatically collect and store certain types of
information whenever you interact with us. Such information includes information
about your use of the Platform, your interaction with content and services available
through the Platform. Like many websites, unidentifiable information may be

unidentifiable information, such as the URL of the Website you just visited and the
browser version your computer is operating. Passive information collection
technologies can make your use of the Platform easier by allowing the Company to
provide better service, customize sites based on consumer preferences, compile
statistics, analyze trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Platform.
Certain features of the Platform may not work without use of passive information
collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used
to identity you without additional identifiable information. We may also
receive/store information about your location and your mobile device, including a
unique identifier for your device.
Other sources: We might receive information about you from other sources, such
as updated delivery and address information from third parties, which we use to
correct our records and deliver your next purchase more easily. Further, we may
receive information about you from third parties that feature our Products or
promotional offers if you opt-in to receive information from us. You may also choose
to participate in a third party application or social media sites through which you
allow us to collect (or the third party to share) Personal Information about you,
including usage information. We may also receive information, such as marketing
related or demographic information about you from third parties to enhance our

interest to you. The Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
third-party websites which it does not own, manage or control.
