Here are the types of information we gather:
1. Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way.

We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.


2. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us.
