Information Collection And Use

While using our Sites, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you.

Additionally, the information we collect through your interactions with us over Facebook (primarily your comments and messages) is being shared directly with us. We are not affiliated in any way to Facebook and information we collect through Facebook is handled under our policy here, and not that of Facebook except where applicable.

We use third-party services such as MailChimp to collect, monitor and analyze the Personal Information as well.

Communications

We may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and important changes to your account and our business operations that affect your past and future purchases, including legal, privacy and security matters.

We use third-party services such as MailChimp and Mailgun to deliver those emails to you.
