We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- In addition, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Sites, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers) and email address. We refer to this information as “Subscription Information.”
- “Personal Information,” as discussed in this Privacy Policy, refers to both Device Information and Subscription Information.
Use of Information
We use the Subscription Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Sites (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Subscription Information to: (a) communicate with you; (b) screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and (c) when in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Sites (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Sites, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
