To clarify, "personal information" refers to any information that could be used to identify you or the device you use to connect to the internet.

We may use third-party website analytics tools, such as Omniture or Google, to collect this information.

In some cases, we may also collect information about others, such as when you purchase a gift card or create a wish list for someone else. We will use this information only to fulfill your requests and will not send marketing communications to your contacts unless they opt in to receive them.

However, we may share your information with our parent, affiliate, and subsidiary companies, business partners, and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as processing transactions and delivering products.

We may also share your information to communicate with you about products and services, offers, events, and promotions that we believe may interest you. Additionally, we may disclose information about you if required by law, in response to a request by law enforcement authorities, or when we believe it is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

If we sell, merge, or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, we reserve the right to transfer your personal information to the entity that acquires our business or assets. In such a case, you may contact the new entity with any inquiries concerning the processing of your information.
