We collect personally identifiable information.
Generally, the types of personal information that we collect from or about you depends on the circumstances in which the information is collected. We have described below examples of the types of personal information that may be collected, however this is not an exhaustive list:

• Information relating to the way you use or navigate any of our websites.
• Other personal information that we are permitted or required by law to obtain, as well as any other information that you choose to provide us.
For example, from time to time, we may run contests or other promotions. If you participate, we may request your name, mailing address, email address and other information in order to administer the promotion. When you submit a request, review or comment to our customer service department, we may ask you for your email address.
We collect personal information from or about you in a variety of ways. We will try to collect personal information directly from you, either in person, over the phone, by email, or through our digital and online channels. However, we may also collect your personal information from other third parties, including our related entities, service providers, contractors, and agents.
Providing this information will always be optional for you. However, some services may not be available to you if you choose not to provide it.
We also collect aggregated data. This information is generated by our systems as they track traffic through our sites. This information does not identify you personally and is not linked to the personally identifiable information that you may have provided.
Why do we collect personal information?
We only collect personal information that we consider necessary for the effective functioning or activities of our business, and we only hold, use and disclose it for the purposes for which it was originally collected (and for related purposes which you would reasonably expect), unless required or authorised by or under law or if you have consented to another use. Some of the specific purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information include to enable us to correspond with you and do business together and for reasons related to our business operations, such as to ensure we continue to deliver quality products and services to our customers and potential customers.
For example, when you register, complete a form or participate in any contest or promotion on our Internet Sites, we will use the information you provide to us to send you email or regular mail from us regarding products, services or other contests and promotions that we think may be of interest to you.
We may use the data to verify your identity if you need help with a forgotten password, or you are having logon difficulties with any of our Internet Site services.
From time to time we may aggregate your information analyse trends, preferences, and demographics. We may use the information for other purposes with your prior permission.
