Collection of Customer Order Information

Through the course of normal business, we collect customer information like names, postal addresses, email addresses, etc.. The information you provide is used to fulfill your orders and to communicate with you about those orders via phone or email. Those communications are necessary to tell you about shipments and to provide tracking, or to resolve any issue with fulfillment or other aspects of delivering your order as promised.

Other Ways We Use Information to Contact You

We use your email address to communicate with you through our newsletter if you indicate your permission to do so (via the checkboxes on our order checkout page). We also send an email when you are awarded loyalty store credits (if your order included products that include a loyalty store credit offer). And finally, we send one email communication per customer order with a promotional message, currently one time per order, at approximately six months after order completion.

Customer Submissions of Information Other Than Order Information

Customers are invited to submit photos and comments about products that appear on various pages on our site such as our Happy Customers page. Customers are also invited to submit pictures and descriptions of products as part of our Customer Closet submission process. We may use photos and comments by customers to promote the sale of products either on the site or in promotional communications to customers (such as our frequent newsletters via email). However, we only display abbreviated names and general locations when using these materials. We will also communicate with you to deliver store credit/payment information as a result of your interactions with these site features.
