"Anonymous Data" means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Information and Anonymous Data and a few other categories of information, from various different sources, as described below.

We receive your information in a variety of different ways, including, but not limited to, the following:

• When you create an account with us to log into our Site or place an order, we may collect certain Personal Information from you, such as your first and last name, email address, phone number(s), mailing address, payment information such as your credit card number(s) and billing address for making purchases;

• When you post a user-generated content or provide us with service feedback on our Site (such as ratings or reviews), the information contained in such user-generated content will be stored on our servers and will be available to be seen by other users who make use of the Site; and
• We also collect other types of Personal Information that you provide to us voluntarily, such as your operating system and version and other requested information if you contact us via email regarding support for the Site

Please note that you can choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features of the Site you are able to use.

We may collect certain information (which does not identify you as an individual) about your use of the Site through the use of tracking technologies or by other passive means. This “passively collected” information includes, but is not limited to, the domain name of the website that allowed you to navigate to the Site, search engines used, the internet protocol ("IP") address used, the length of time spent on the Site, the pages you looked at on the Site, other websites you visited before and after visiting the Site, the type of internet browser you have, the frequency of your visits to the Site, and other relevant statistics, including, without limitation, the following:

• Cookies: When you log-in to the Site to use the services through the Site as a log-in User, we send one or more cookies (small text files containing a string of characters) to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of the Site by storing user preferences and tracking user trends. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent. Cookies alone tell us nothing about who you are.

Pixel tags are used in conjunction with cookies to anonymously track the activity on the Site by a particular browser on a particular site.

Web beacons can collect the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the web beacon comes from, and the time the web beacon was viewed. We may employ web beacons to facilitate Site administration and navigation, to track the actions of users of the Site, to compile aggregated statistics about Site usage and response rates, and to provide an enhanced online experience for visitors to the Site
• Analytics Services: We may use third-party analytics services ("Analytics Services"), to help analyze how users use our Sites and interact with our platform. The information generated by the cookies or other technologies about your use of our Sites and/or Littman Bros Service (the "Analytics Information") is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer the Analytics Information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Service's ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Service's terms of use and privacy policy. By using the Site or services provided by Littman Bros, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Some embedded content on the Site may be served by third-party content providers.
