Collecting Information About You

There are instances (for example, when you buy or order a product, sign up for a service, register for catalogues, or engage in contests, sweepstakes, or promotions, among others) when we request specific information from you, including your name, mailing/billing address, phone number, and email address, etc. Additionally, we may keep a record of your purchases.

Deciding to share this information is entirely up to you. However, if you decide against providing the details we ask for, you might find that you cannot buy products or use certain services, offers, and content available on our site. Furthermore, we may have to reach out to you through phone, email, or postal mail to resolve any questions or concerns related to your order, entry, and so on, even if you have chosen not to receive communications from us.

Generally, you are able to access various pages on our website without providing your identity or disclosing any personal contact details. We may monitor the Internet domain addresses of visitors and examine this information for trends, preferences, and statistical purposes; however, individual users will remain unidentified unless they choose to disclose their identity.
