Information Company Collects About You

We may collect personal information from you directly, automatically when you visit the Services, and sometimes from third parties.

We use the term “personal information” to mean any information that could be used to identify you, including “personal data” such as but not limited to your contact information (name, address, email address, phone number), demographic information (birth date) login information (wallet address, password), financial information (credit or debit card number through a third party payment provider, shipping/billing data, and transaction history). We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” or “personal data” where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify or pseudonymize personal information so that it is non-personal, such as aggregating or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as “hash”. We maintain and use de-identified data without attempting to re-identify it, except where permitted by applicable law, such as to determine whether our de-identification processes satisfy legal requirements. We will treat de-identified or pseudonymized information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, then we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy.

We have structured our Services so that, as a casual site visitor, you may visit the Services and review selected information without registering. However, if you wish to use certain Services, you may be asked to create an account, which will require you to provide certain additional personal information. Similarly, you will be asked to provide certain additional personal information if you wish to contact us through the Services.

Automatically-Collected Information

Even if you do not register for an account on the Services or otherwise provide information directly to us, we may collect certain information automatically when you visit the Services. For example, we may automatically receive and record in our system the following information:

·        your internet protocol (IP) address or other unique identifier for any computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services;

·        your time zone, and location;

·        referrer addresses or advertisement;

·        the type and version of your web browser;

·        device identifiers including mobile advertising identifiers;

·        your operating system, hardware model, and browser; and

We also record page views (hit counts) and other general statistical and tracking information. We use this data to help us administer and operate our Services, to better understand how our users access and interact with the Services, and for security and monitoring purposes. We may also collect information to meet our regulatory obligations; for example, we may identify your IP address in order to ascertain and verify your residency status.

We may send email messages that use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Services. When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, simply do not click text or graphic links in the email.

Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Similar Technologies

Cookies. The Services use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a small amount of data, often including a unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. These technologies are able to store a unique identifier for a device to allow a certain Internet site to recognize the device whenever the device is used to visit the site. These technologies may be used for many purposes by us and our third-party service providers, such as automatically collecting usage Information, enabling features, remembering your preferences, and providing you with targeted advertising elsewhere online. If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser. You can find more information about cookies and how they work at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Pixel Tags. We may also use so-called “pixel tags” – small graphic images (also known as “tracer tags,” “web beacons,” or “single-pixel images”) – to tell us what parts of our Services have been visited or to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns on our Site. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on our Site. Pixel tags inform us whether emails have been opened, to help ensure that our messages are of interest to our users. We may tie the information gathered by pixel tags to our users’ personal information, in which case it will be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

In particular, the Services use:

·        Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Services will be transmitted to and stored by Google. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Services, compiling reports on Services activity for operators and providing other services relating to Services activity and internet usage, including tracking which pages of our Services you visit so we can optimize your experience with our Site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have implemented the IP anonymization feature in Google Analytics which anonymizes your IP address to protect individual privacy. You can opt-out from the collection of this information by Google by downloading and installing a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on Google Analytics privacy practices, read here and, for information on Google Analytics cookies expiration, read here.

These third parties may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device (including without limitation cookies and web beacons) and may otherwise collect or have access to information about you (such as device identifier). Some of these parties may collect personal information over time when you visit the Services or other online websites and services. Cookies and web beacons, including without limitation those set by third-party network advertisers, may be used to (among other things): target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, and conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you. We may share certain information such as device identifiers, hashed information, records of transactions you conduct on our Services or offline, and other types of de-identified or pseudonymized information with third-party advertising companies, analytics providers, and other vendors for advertising and analytics purposes. In addition, we and our third-party service providers may use this information to perform matching with third-party cookies in order to provide targeted online marketing. You may find more information on what cookies and similar technologies have been set and how to manage and delete them at https://youradchoices.com/control. For more information on advertising cookies, please also consult the Network Advertising Initiative’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org. If you do not want Twitter specifically to show you interest-based advertising on and off Twitter, you can visit your Twitter settings under Personalization and data, or visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer choice tool at optout.aboutads.info. If you do not want Facebook to show you interest-based advertising, you can visit Facebook settings under Your Ad Preferences on Facebook. For mobile apps, you may be able to limit certain advertising practices using the settings on your phone, tablet or other mobile device.

Certain states provide additional rights. Please see our sections for residents below for additional rights you may have.

Please note opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive non-targeted advertisements while online.
