Sometimes, you can choose not to give us information. For example, you don’t have to sign up for emails. But other times, we’ll need your information to be able to provide you with the Services.

  • Information from Third Parties. We use Google Analytics to better understand how you use our Services. For more information, click here.

You have some choices about how we collect or use your information. The following explains some of those choices.

  • Do Not Track Mechanisms. Your browser may give you the option to turn on a “Do Not Track Signal.” Our Services do not respond to all Do Not Track signals from all browsers, as we need to use some signals for internal uses, like completing your purchases.
  • Emails. You can unsubscribe from, or change your preferences for, our marketing emails. To do so, click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails. Even if you unsubscribe, we may still send you some informational emails. For example, we will send you emails about orders you make or updates to our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use.
  • Account Information. If you’ve made an account with our Services, you can review and change the identifiers you provided to create your account.
