When does the Company collect my personal information?

• Registration. When you create an Account, we collect information that helps us identify you and helps us to administer your Account. The more information you provide, the better we can customize our services and your experience to suit your needs and preferences. Upon creating an Account, we ask for your email address, name, username, zip code, country, password, and billing and credit card data (“Account Information”). When you post a Review through the Website, you grant to the Company a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, view, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise exploit such Review. On occasion, we may also collect additional personal information if you choose to complete a survey form.

A cookie is a message sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. You can set your browser preferences to reject all cookies, but this will prevent you from using most customized services, and you may have to repeatedly enter personal information in order to participate in various services or promotions. Cookies make your experience easier by saving your preferences and passwords. We also use cookies that contain no personal information at all. These cookies help us estimate our audience size and determine which areas of the Website are the most popular.

• IP Address. We may log IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration, or to report information in aggregate from third parties such as advertisers (for example, to identify how many visitors logged in to our Website). We do not provide such third parties with personally identifiable information.

How is my personal information used?

• Customized Look and Feel. The Company gathers member information to provide you with an effortless member experience.

We review our members’ preferences, demographics, traffic patterns, and other information – as a whole – so that we can better understand who our audience is and what it wants.

If you provide your phone number and consent to receive SMS messages, we may from time to time send you SMS messages. We will not send you third party information unless you check the appropriate box when you register. If you elect to receive such offers when you register, you may update your profile at any time afterwards to discontinue such mailings.
  ‍
• Compliance with Legal Process.

What else should I know about my privacy?

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online in a public area, that information might be collected and used by others. We do not control the actions of our visitors and registered members. If you disclose personal information in a review or any other publicly accessible place on the Website, you do so at your own risk and you understand that your information may be collected and used by others to send you unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes. Please remember that protection of your privacy begins with you. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any password you use to register, and you should always be careful and responsible whenever disclosing information online.

The Website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. When you place orders or access your account information, we use a secure server. The secure server layer (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. All of the customer data we collect is similarly protected against unauthorized access.
