1. Information We Collect from You
In order to better provide you with numerous products and services, we collect two types of information from you: Personal Information ("PI") and Non-Personal Information ("NPI"). Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized WebsiteWeb site for your needs.
Personal Information PI refers to your personal information such as your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product details. PI is requested when you order a product or service or send us feedback. With this information, we can fulfill your orders and better provide you with personalized services. In order to fulfill some products and servicesFor some services provided by our Website, we may collect your PI on behalf of PAPC Vendor Partnersother merchants and provide such information to them. In certain circumstances, the other merchants may request additional personal information such as social security numbers and driver's license numbers. If you have questions about information provided to third parties to fulfill your order(s), please consult their Privacy Policies.
Non-Personal Information This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. NPI may include the previous WebsiteWeb site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") you visited, the next URL you visit, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and aggregated basis.
