This policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service (the “Terms”) that govern your use of the Site. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the definitions provided in the Terms. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
Please note that this Policy does not apply to:

Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
