traffic thereto. It helps us understand how you use and interact with
our Site. Google Analytics gathers this information about you and
your use of our Site by the use of cookies (for more information
please refer to the below section entitled “Cookies Policy”). This
information is then gathered as it relates to our Site and is used to
create reports about users’ interaction with our Site and to
understand how traffic is driven to our Site. Additional information
about how Google uses data received from its partners, like us, is

marketing purposes and to market our products and/or service
and/or Site with other third-party companies, such as
Instagram/Facebook/Google, based on your past history of visiting
our Site. This may be accomplished via pixels, cookies or other
similar automatic data collection technology.
The Company reserves the right to use tracking pixels, which
collects data on visitors to our Site from social media platforms
such as Facebook. This helps us track conversions from targeted
ads, track user behavior, collect web traffic, optimize ad
performance, and build a targeted audience for remarketing and
future marketing purposes, similar to a cookie.
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when
you visit our Site. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance,
advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience
better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and
region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return

people use the website, for instance, whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are frequent
visitors.

send you email messages and newsletters via our email
subscription (which you either signed up for or were automatically
enrolled via other activities on our Site) until you opt out of these emails.
For payment and sensitive credit/debit card information, we use a
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate (technically a Transport
Layer Security aka “TLS certificate”), which is an encryption
security protocol to protect this information. The SSL/TLS certificate
encrypts this data and ensures that anyone who intercepts the data
can only see a scrambled set of characters and the information is
safe and only visible to the website in which it was entered. We do
not store or process this information personally on our server, but
instead use a third-party service provider.
We use safeguards that are commercially responsible and
accepted in the industry to protect your personal information. You
acknowledge that we cannot prevent all misuse and unauthorized
access to your personal information and hold us harmless should
your personal information be tampered and/or intercepted without
your or our consent. This includes a release of all claims
associated with the unauthorized third-parties’ use of said
information.
Should a data breach occur, we will promptly notify you within 10
business days of the known breach unless you reside in the United
