functionality we can provide you when you visit our site.

collect aggregate information about the use of our site, such as
which pages are most frequently visited, how many visitors we receive
daily, and how long visitors stay on each page.

facilitate your orders or other activities between us, and to provide
you with both general and tailored information about offers, products,

products or services from us, we may maintain an order history for
your account. We also may combine information you have provided
to us in communications offline with the information you have given
us online (or vice versa), to provide a more customized experience
for you when you deal with us. We use demographic and site usage
information collected from visitors to improve the usefulness of
our site and to prepare aggregate, non-identifying, information
used in marketing, site advertising, or similar activities.

be stored on servers located in other jurisdictions. By providing
us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.
