WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information means information that would allow a specific individual to be identified or information that can be directly associated with an individual. For example, this includes your name, postal or e-mail address, telephone number, and demographic information. Personal information does not include aggregate information (data about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed). For example, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase may be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others. Aggregate information about product purchases helps us understand trends and customer needs, and assists us in product selection, product ordering and sizing and the introduction of new products and services. It can also assist us in new Web site functions by looking at website browsing activities.

WHEN WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We only collect such personal information as is strictly necessary for the purposes outlined in Section 4. We collect personal information: (1) when you become a customer; (2) when you contact us; (3) when you use our Website; (4) when you participate in any of our programs. We may automatically collect some information when you visit our website, such as your computer’s network address, the site from which you linked to us, and the time and date of your visit. This information is not linked by us to personal information, but rather is only used to compile aggregate information. This information may be collected through the use of cookies (see our “On-line privacy practices” in Section 10 below).

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION ?

As part of our business operations, we hold and use certain personal information pertaining to you in order to process your requests, if you ask us to, to tell you about opportunities we think will be of interest to you, such as our promotional programs and to understand your needs so that we can serve you better. Specifically, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

WHEN WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

From time to time we engage unaffiliated third parties to perform certain services. The companies that are provided with the personal information are first required to sign an agreement that obligates them to keep the information confidential and secure and prohibits them from using it for unauthorized purposes. Third party suppliers can only use the personal information that we share with them provided that they have your consent, to notify you of their offerings and to evaluate new and existing products, offerings or services. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these third parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their privacy and security practices and policies before disclosing information to them. Except as set out above, we do not sell, rent, share or disclose the personal information to others for a fee without your consent.
