Cookies and First Party Tracking	We use cookies and other technologies to understand how people use our websites. For more information about cookies, please see the “Cookies and Similar Tracking Technology” section below.	We have a legitimate interest in making our websites operate efficiently. We also have a legitimate interest in serving you targeted advertisements. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for the deployment of cookies on our websites.
Cookies and Third Party Tracking	We may place tracking technology on our website that collects analytics, records how you interact with our website, or allows us to participate in behavior-based advertising. This means that a third party uses technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of our website so that they can report analytics to us or provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. That third party might also collect information over time and across different websites in order to serve advertisements on our website, or on other websites. For more information about cookies, please see the “Cookies and Similar Tracking Technology” section below.	We have a legitimate interest in engaging in behavior-based advertising and capturing website analytics. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for the deployment of cookies on our websites.

This may also include information about your device or browser.

III. For what purpose is your personal data collected and used?

In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use data in the following ways:

To manage our relationships as well as for internal administrative purposes.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your personal data, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete an online purchase, we collect your personal data to perform our contract with you, but we also collect your personal data as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions about your order. As a result, depending on the requirements of applicable privacy laws, our collection and processing of your personal data is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our legal or regulator obligations, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.

IV. Who are the recipients of your personal data?

In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we share personal data in the following situations:

Affiliates. We may share personal data with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, subsidiaries, and brands) when those entities are processing personal data on our behalf.
Business Transaction. If another company acquires, or plans to acquire, our company, business, or our assets, we will share personal data with that company, including at the negotiation stage for the purposes of evaluating or completing the transaction.

For a description of the categories of information we disclose for a “business purpose” and share for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising (also referred to as “targeted advertising”)(as those terms are defined by applicable law), please click HERE. Please note that because this list is comprehensive, it may refer to types of information that we collect and share about people other than yourself.

Note that we do not sell personal information for money. As discussed elsewhere in our Privacy Policy, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes of targeted advertising. For more information, please see the COOKIES AND SIMILAR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES section of the Privacy Policy.

V. International transfers of personal data

As a multi-national company, we transmit information between and among our affiliates and may also use service providers that are located outside of your country of residence. As a result, your personal data may be processed in a foreign country where privacy laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country. Nonetheless, where possible we take steps to treat personal data using the same privacy principles that apply pursuant to the law of the country in which we first received your information. By submitting your personal data to us you agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your information in a country other than your country of residence including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States.

All data transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards to ensure compliance with applicable regulations relating to the protection of personal data. For example, all transfers of personal data to our affiliates outside of the EEA are based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If you would like more information concerning our attempts to apply the privacy principles applicable in one jurisdiction to data when it goes to another jurisdiction you can contact us using the contact information below.

VI. How do we protect your personal data?

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal data we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Some of our websites permit you to create an account. When you do you will be prompted to create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you. You should notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account.

VII. How long do we retain your personal data?

Typically, we retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we obtained the information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements.

VIII. What are your choices and how can you exercise them?

XI. Additional Information for California Residents

California Sensitive Information Disclosure. We collect the following categories of sensitive personal information (as defined under California law): Account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; Precise geolocation; Racial or ethnic origin; and Information concerning health. This information is collected in order to process transactions, comply with laws, manage our business, or provide you with services.

We do not “sell” or “share” sensitive personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.
Notice of Financial Incentive. We offer programs that provide certain perks, such as discounts and exclusive offers (collectively, the “Loyalty Programs”). When you sign up for a Loyalty Program, we typically ask you to provide your contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number).

We do not assign a monetary value to the information we collect. Based on our reasonable estimate, the value of your personal information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you receive as part of the applicable Loyalty Program. This value is based on the expense related to offering those free or discounted products or services. You may withdraw from participating in a Loyalty Program at any time by using the information in the "Contact Details" section above.
