  • Billing and mailing addresses
  • Details related to services you have inquired about or purchased

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help us recognize returning users, enhance the functionality of your experience, and remember settings such as login credentials. You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect the availability of certain features.

Most cookies are temporary ("session cookies") and are removed when your session ends. You may also use browser tools to manage or block cookies more actively. Please note that rejecting cookies may impact the performance or availability of some website features.

In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons—small, invisible image files—to track when certain pages are viewed or emails are opened. This helps us evaluate engagement and improve communication relevance.

Details About the Device

When you use our services, we may collect information about the device or browser you’re using. This can include your IP address, approximate geolocation data, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, and the country or state from which the website is accessed.

We may also collect behavioral information, such as the time of access, pages visited, duration spent on each page, clicks made, error logs, and similar usage patterns. To support this, we may utilize third-party analytics tools and technologies, including cookies or comparable tracking mechanisms.

Data Analytics

We may analyze general usage trends and interactions to better understand user behavior. This includes traffic data or insights that help us improve functionality, enhance usability, and tailor communication strategies. Data may include your session durations, navigation flow, device or network details, and non-personally identifiable interaction patterns. This information may be collected using analytics platforms provided by third-party services.

We may also log your IP address to maintain server performance, address technical concerns, or display content in an appropriate format based on location or device type.
