Depending on the Services you choose, we may collect the following types of information:

1.1.1 Information you provide to us

• Your Account Information: You shall provide your email address, password or log in for a third-party Account (like Facebook, Google), to create an online or application Account (“Account”) or subscribe to our communications. If you refuse to provide such information, you may not be able to use the Services properly.

·   Order-related Information and APP Service-related Information: you provide your name, telephone number, email address, delivery address, billing address, and Postal Code. We use the Third Parties payment and collect money processor (e.g. Paypal ) to assist in securely processing your personally identifiable payment information and bank account information. When you place an order through the Services, the credit card information (e.g. bank account number, account holder name, credit card number, expiration date, secure code, and other information) that you provide is encrypted and transmitted directly to such Third Parties. When you collect money though the Services from us by such Third Parties’ manner, bank account information (e.g. bank account number, account holder name, account holder address, bank name, swift code, routing number, account number) that you provide is encrypted and transmitted directly to such Third Parties. In the case mentioned above, we do not store your credit card information and bank account information, and do not control and are not responsible for such Third Parties their collection or use of your information.

https://www.paypal.com/us/privacy-center/home

    When you choose to collect money though the Services from us by wire transfer, you need to provide us with bank account information (e.g. bank account number, account holder name, account holder address, bank name, swift code, routing number, account number) and ensure the accuracy and authenticity of such information.

1.1.2 Information that we collect in your use of services

• Information Collected by Our Servers: To make our Site, APP and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.

• Log Files: As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site and APP, track users’ movements around the Site and APP, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site and APP or the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Data.

• Cookies: Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site and APP. This type of information is collected to make the Site and APP more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.

• Pixel Tags: In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users' Personal Data.

• Do Not Track Signals: We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals from web browsers.

• Flash LSOs: When we post videos, third parties may use local shared objects, known as "Flash Cookies," to store your preferences for volume control or to personalize certain video features. Flash Cookies are different from browser Cookies because of the amount and type of data and how the data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash Cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

• Analytics Services: We may use third-party analytics services (“Analytics Services”), to help analyze how users use our Site and APP and to improve our Services to better meet your requirements. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Site and APP (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.
