However, the degree to which your location can be identified depends on the device you are using (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet) and how you are connected to the internet (e.g., via cable broadband connection, Wi-Fi, etc.). If you enable location services for the online Services, we may collect geo-location data periodically as you use or leave open the Services and provide location-based content and services. We also may collect your location information from your IP address or zip code.

Depending on the platform you use to access the online Services (e.g., Apple™ iOS, Google™ Android, Windows, etc.), you may be able to control from within the settings on your wireless Device whether location data is collected.
- In-Store Analytics - We may use certain in-store wireless services to automatically collect non-identifying information about visitors to our stores. If you utilize our Wi-Fi routers in our stores, please note they may capture certain data from mobile devices that interact with the router, including information about your mobile device. Data collected from these in-stores wireless services may be used to provide information about customer flow and visitor demographics.

(2) The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected.
(3) The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Personal Information.
(4) The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.
(5) The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
We do not sell consumer Personal Information. We may from time to time disclose consumer Personal Information for a business purpose, such as operational purposes, or other notified purposes, that are reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose for which the Personal Information was collected or processed or otherwise is compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose to you, upon our receipt from you of a verifiable request, the categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed about you for a business purpose.
If you are a California resident, you also have the right under the CCPA to request the deletion of your Personal Information that we collect. All such requests are subject to verification according to methods determined by us. You may submit a request for the deletion of your Personal Information by sending an email to us.
Even though we do not sell consumer Personal Information, if you are a California resident, you also have the right under the CCPA to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information. All such requests are subject to verification according to methods determined by us. You may submit an opt-out request by sending an email to us or by clicking the “Do Not Sell My Info Request – California Residents” link on the Website.
Upon our receipt of a request by a California resident to exercise rights under the CCPA, we first must verify that the person making a request is the consumer about whom we have collected information. Accordingly, we will ask you to confirm your date of birth and postal address, and we also may request a copy of your valid government-issued identification.
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. However, nothing prohibits us from charging a consumer a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the consumer, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer’s data.
You may exercise any of the California Privacy Rights described in this section by sending such a request to us by email. We may ask you to verify your identity before taking further action on your request. Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide a valid power of attorney, a copy of your valid government-issued identification and your authorized agent’s valid government-issued identification.
Please note that we are not required to comply with a California resident’s request to delete Personal Information if it is necessary for us to maintain the Personal Information in order to:
(1) Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract between us and the consumer.
(2) Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
(3) Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
(4) Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
(5) Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
(6) Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if the consumer has provided informed consent.
(7) To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with us.
(8) Comply with a legal obligation.
(9) Otherwise use the consumer’s Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
If you are a California resident under 18 years old and a registered user on the Website, you can request that we remove content or information that you have posted to our Website or other online services.
