1.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information and other
Information
When you use our
Website, we collect and store your personal information which is
provided by you from time to time. Our primary goal in doing so is to
provide you a safe, efficient, smooth and customized experience. This
allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your
needs, and to customize our Website to make your experience safer and
easier. More importantly, while doing so we collect personal
information from you that we consider necessary for achieving this
purpose.
In general, you can browse the Website without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not
anonymous to us. Where possible, we indicate which fields are
required and which fields are optional. You always have the option to
not provide information by choosing not to use a particular service
or feature on the Website. We may automatically track certain
information about you based upon your behaviour on our Website. We
use this information to do internal research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand, protect
and serve our users. This information is compiled and analysed on an
aggregated basis. This information may include the URL that you just
came from (whether this URL is on our Website or not), which URL you
next go to (whether this URL is on our Website or not), your computer
browser information, and your IP address.
We use data
collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of
the Website to help analyse our web page flow, measure promotional
effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are
small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our
services. We offer certain features that are only available through
the use of a "cookie".
We also use cookies to allow
you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies
can also help us provide information that is targeted to your
interests. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that
they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a
session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain
features on the Website and you may be required to re-enter your
password more frequently during a session.
Additionally, you
may encounter "cookies" or other similar devices on certain
pages of the Website that are placed by third parties. We do not
control the use of cookies by third parties.
If you
choose to buy on the Website, we collect information about your
buying behaviour.
If you transact with us, we collect
some additional information, such as a billing address, a credit /
debit card number and a credit / debit card expiration date and/ or
other payment instrument details and tracking information from
cheques or money orders.
If you choose to post messages
on our message boards, chat rooms or other message areas or leave
feedback, we will collect that information you provide to us. We
retain this information as necessary to resolve disputes, provide
customer support and troubleshoot problems as permitted by law.
If
you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if
other users or third parties send us correspondence about your
activities or postings on the Website, we may collect such
information into a file specific to you.
We collect
personally identifiable information (email address, name, phone
number, credit card / debit card / other payment instrument details,
etc.) from you when you set up a free account with us. While you can
browse some sections of our Website without being a registered

improve our product and service offerings, we collect and analyse

Website.
We identify and use your IP address to help diagnose

address is also used to help identify you and to gather broad
demographic information.
We may occasionally ask you to
complete optional online surveys. These surveys may ask you for
contact information and demographic information (like zip code, age,

Website, providing you with content that we think you might be
