WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE MAY USE IT

We will use personal information to provide products that you have requested as well as for auditing, research, and analysis to improve 21^st Century Brands’ products. We collect personal information about users of our website through activities such as purchase transactions and completion of forms and surveys on our website. Such information is collected when users register or subscribe to accounts or features on our website, make on-line purchases, complete surveys, comment on our blogs, opt-in to our email marketing list, submit a comment or question to us using a “contact us” form or similar feature, send us an email, or in any other way submit personal information voluntarily to us through our website or when contacting us by telephone.

WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

21^st Century Brands takes your privacy very seriously. 21^st Century Brands does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers.

Except as otherwise disclosed to you, we will not sell, rent, or disclose your information to third parties without notifying you of our intent to share your information in advance and giving you an opportunity to prevent your personal information from being shared.

If you decide to purchase our products, you will be providing your credit card information to One Shopping Cart, which will collect such information on your on-line purchase form. One Shopping Cart will transmit such information through the Authorize.net purchase gateway, which will in turn transmit it either to Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC or to American Express if you use an American Express card in payment of your purchase.

We will also use your personal information to maintain our internal record keeping. We may match information collected from you at different times or through different means, including both personal information, website usage information and information from other sources such as third parties.

These companies are obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with our policies, and in accordance with their own independent policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to purchase products, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products, or to access certain offers and other content on our website.

We may disclose aggregate statistics regarding user behavior as a measure of interest in , and use of, our website and e-mails to third parties in the form of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or demographic reports that do not describe or identify any individual user.
