3.1. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION.
Information you Provide Us: When you engage with us, we may include registration, surveys, questionnaires, and other forms that ask you to provide information, including Personal Information. Some of the information that we collect is required from you to enable us to provide you with the services you request from us. For example, you may request that we add you to our newsletter, may request that we contact you, or you may order product or services from us, and as part of that request we may require you to provide your name, address, or email address. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you whether you are required to provide information to us. If you choose not to provide us with the required information, you may be unable to utilize the services provided at the Site.
Server Information: Our servers may automatically collect Information of a technical nature, such as your IP address and your browser type, which relates to your use and access of the Website. This data does not in and of itself personally identify you but is helpful for improving user experience. In the event that you provide Personal Information while visiting our Website, this data may be correlated to you and thus your Personal Information.
Cookies: From time to time, we may use the “cookies” feature of major browsers and browser applications that allows us to store data on your computer about your visit to our Website. We may set any Personal Information in cookies and may employ any data capture mechanisms on the Website other than cookies. For a list of cookies that we set, contact us pursuant to Section 6 of this Privacy Notice.
Beacons: We may also use web beacon or other technologies to better tailor the Website to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when you access these pages of the Website, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by suppliers or affiliates, or other entities. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies, therefore our use of beacons, the information in those beacons, and our purpose for using them is discussed in more depth in our “Cookie Policy.” If you do not want cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you may be able to set your browser to turn off cookies; however, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages.
Online Tracking: Many browsers provide the ability for a user to send a “Do Not Track” signal which indicates that a user does not wish to have activity tracked. We may collect Personal Information across third-party websites or online services and may permit third-parties from tracking consumers while they are on the Website. For a list of the trackers and our purpose for using them, please contact us pursuant to Section 6 of this Privacy Notice. Currently there is no industry standard on how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals; however, if you send a “Do Not Track” signal while using the Website, we will take every effort to respect your wishes that are possible. In any event, we will adhere to the standards set forth in this Privacy Notice.
Third Party Sources: We may also obtain information from additional sources of data, not directly collected from you, to provide better customer service. For example, you may engage with us through social media services or third-party platforms, plug-ins, or applications, through which you may allow us to have access to certain information in your profile or account, such as your name, email address, photographs, network connections, and activities. Please refer to the respective policies on those third-party services, platforms, plug-ins, and applications to review your privacy rights and settings.

We will hold such data for the period of time as set forth, and at least for any period of time required by law.

There are a variety of tools which are available to you to “opt-out” of interest-based advertising on the Website, as well as on the internet generally, including by utilizing the tools available from Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance.
