We also use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your use of the Websites, compile reports on activity, collect demographic data, analyze performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to the Websites and mobile and Internet usage. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help analyze and provide us with the data.

We also use information collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy to provide our services, process Orders, maintain and improve our Website and services for you, ask for your feedback, and inform you about our products and services and those of our third-party marketing partners.
Sharing with Third Parties
Like many businesses, we contract with other companies to perform certain business-related services. We may disclose your information, including personal information in some cases, to certain types of third-party companies, but only to the extent needed to enable them to provide such services, including, without limitation, technical assistance, order fulfillment, customer service, marketing assistance, payment processing, survey collection, promotional and marketing assistance, and business operations. These other companies will have access to your information, including personal information in some cases, only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law. We may also disclose your information, including any personal information, to any of our parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us to support the delivery of our products and services.

You may manage marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of any marketing email. Customers cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails related to their accounts or orders. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. However, you should be aware that it is not always possible to remove or modify information in our subscription databases altogether.
Information You Share on Public Forums
We feature, or may in the future, feature public forums such as message boards, conferences, user comments, chat rooms, and similar activities (collectively, “Public Forums”). You may voluntarily post and share information through such Public Forums. None of the information you provide through the Public Forums or through any of these features is protected by this Privacy Policy, including any personal information.

You should think carefully before disclosing any information in any Public Forum.
How We Protect the Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of such data and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the Information that you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Website may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
