We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time.

Children's Information
The Site and Services are not directed toward persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly market to, or collect any personal information from, children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you are not permitted to submit any personal information to us or on the Site.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?
Generally speaking, "personal information" means any information about an individual from which that person may be identified. Personal information includes obvious things, like your name, telephone number, email address and street address, as well as less obvious things like your IP address, device ID and location information. Personal information does not, however, include information from which the identity of an individual has been definitively removed (also known as anonymous or anonymized data).
To provide the Site and Services, we collect various types of information. We collect personal information directly from you when you provide it to us, such as when you sign up for a demo or when you are a user of our Services. We also may collect information indirectly through automated technologies, such as cookies, or from third parties.

When our customers use the Services, they will create shipping labels. In creating the shipping labels, they will submit personal information about the shipment recipients, which consists of:

After the shipment is made, we generally delete the name and address of the recipient from our records.
Automatically Collected Information
If you are visiting the Site, we automatically collect information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Site, and your interactions with the Site, such as through cookies and other automated technologies, as explained in Cookies and Related Technologies below. For example, we may collect and store information such as your browser type, IP address, language, operating system, location of your wireless device (e.g., latitude and longitude), unique device identifier, the manner in which you use the Site (e.g., the content you access, view, click on or search for), the date and time of your visit, error logs, and other hardware and software information.
We may use cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information, as further explained in Cookies and Related Technologies below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies We use "cookie" technology and similar online tools, such as web beacons and web pixels. "Cookies" are small files that a website stores on a user's computer or device and through which personal information may be collected. The Site uses cookies for various purposes, as described below.
We use "session" cookies, meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive after you close your browser at the end of your session. Session cookies are used to optimize performance of the Services and to limit the amount of redundant data that is downloaded during a single session. We also use "persistent" cookies, which remain on your computer or device unless deleted by you (or by your browser settings). We use persistent cookies for various purposes, such as statistical analysis of performance to ensure the ongoing quality of our services.
Pixels Other technologies are also used on the Site. A pixel tag (also known as clear gifs, web beacons, or web bugs), which functions like a cookie, is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As many services do, we (or authorized third parties, such as Google) use pixels to learn whether you've interacted with certain web or email content. This helps us measure and improve our services and personalize your experience.

- IP address

- Operating system version
- Browser type and language
- Referring and exit pages and URLs
- Number of clicks on a web page
- Amount of time spent on a web page
- Domain names
- Landing pages
- Pages viewed and the order of those pages
Purpose

- Functionality and user experience
- Analytics - which help us measure audiences and determine interest in our Services
- Marketing
- Performance - including fixing bugs and improving security
Some cookies are first-party cookies - meaning our cookies - and others are third-party cookies, meaning that they are placed on the Site by authorized third parties.

Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable physical, administrative, technical, and electronic security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your personal information. Despite our efforts, however, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we do not promise that your information will remain secure.

Third Party Links and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including social networking platforms as explained above.

International Transfers
We are located in the United States, and the personal information that we collect is stored on servers located in the United States. This means that your personal information will be collected, processed, and stored in the United States, which may have data protection laws that are different from (and sometimes less protective than) the laws of your country or region.
By sending us personal information, you agree and consent to the processing of your personal information in the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in other countries or regions (particularly the European Economic Area), and to the processing of that information by us on servers located in the United States, as described in this Privacy Notice.
Our customers will ship to recipients that are located in different countries outside of the United States. ShipJunction acts as a data processor for these customers.
