We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information. Your personally identifiable information is stored on a server with physical and electronic security features as customary in the industry, including login/password procedures and electronic firewalls designed to block unauthorized access.

We retain these rights because in limited cases we may need to contact you as a matter of law or regarding matters important to you. These rights do not allow us to contact you to market a new or existing Websites and Services if you have asked us not to do so, and issuance of these types of communications is rare.
If you create a personal Account with us, based on your personal preferences, we may periodically contact you via e-mail to provide information about special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. These communications will relate to select, reputable third parties with whom we have a strategic marketing relationship.

Cookies and Web Beacons
Our Websites and Services uses "cookie" and "web beacon" technology. "Cookies" are short pieces of data generated by a web server or mobile application that the Websites and Services store on a user's device. Our Websites and Services may require the use of a cookie for purposes of keeping information you enter on multiple pages together. Cookies also enable us to customize our Websites and Services and offerings to your needs, providing you with a better online experience with us. In addition, cookies are used to:
-
measure usage of various pages on our Websites and Services to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access; and
-
provide functionality such as to online orders, our Websites and Services and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.
The types of cookies that we use are referred to as "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you stop using the Websites and Services. Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive of your device until you delete them. Cookies do not, under ordinary circumstances, corrupt or damage your device, programs, or files.
In addition, the Websites and Services' providers we use to serve and host our advertisements, and/or deliver our e-mails, use session and persistent cookies to track the number of times the Websites and Services are accessed and whether the Websites and Services were accessed from an advertisement. There are no cookies in the advertisements or e-mails. A cookie is placed on your device only if and when you click on an advertisement or open an e-mail. The cookie generated from the advertisement or e-mail does not contain any personally identifiable information and will remain on your hard drive until you delete it.
Beacons are used in combination with cookies to help websites and mobile applications' operators understand how visitors interact with their online Websites and Services. A beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel). In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's hard drive, beacons are embedded invisibly on online pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. These beacons are not tied to personally identifiable information. The use of beacons allows the application to measure the actions of the visitor using the application that contains the beacon. It makes it easier to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of visited pages and/or applications. We use the information provided by beacons to develop a better understanding of how our users use the Websites and Services, and to facilitate those users' interactions with the Websites and Services. We may make the aggregate data obtained from analytics (including from our third party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally identifying information or potentially-personally identifying information.
C. PRIVACY-RELATED INQUIRIES AND COMPLAINTS
We treat our users' privacy concerns with utmost respect and attention. If you believe that there was an instance of non-compliance with this Privacy Policy with regard to your personal information or you have other related inquiries or concerns, you may write or contact us and our technical support for the Websites and Services by e-mail at: .
In your message, please describe in as much detail as possible the nature of your inquiry or the ways in which you believe that the Privacy Policy has not been complied with. We will investigate your inquiry or complaint promptly.
