COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Information You Provide: When you register or search on the Site, place an order, subscribe to our mailing list, or fill out a form (the “Services”), you may be required to submit personally identifiable information (“PII”) to us. PII is information that identifies you as an individual and may include, but not be limited to, your full name; postal or mailing address; email address; telephone number; mobile number; credit card information; and all other information that identifies you or may be required to create an account (“Account”) or engage any of the other Services. PII we collect varies based on the Service being administered.

Information Collected Automatically: We may collect certain PII and non-PII (“Non-PII”) automatically when you use the Site or the Services. “Non-PII” is non-identifiable, anonymized, and/or aggregated information that cannot be used on its own to personally identify you. The information that may be collected automatically may include, but not be limited to, the type of mobile device you use, your Device ID (defined below), the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of your mobile device or computer, your operating system, the type and version of your Internet browsers, your Internet service provider, Log Data (defined below), real time location information, analytics information, metadata, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent or actions taken on those pages, any search engine you may have used to locate the Site, and information about the way you use the Site.

Device ID’s: We may collect, and store unique device identifiers associated with your particular mobile device (“Device ID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. We use your Device ID to track the number of unique Users using the Site and our Services and to enable you to interact with and use the Site and our Services and to make it possible to authenticate and understand the use of our Services. We link your Device ID with the technical information accessed through your use of the Services, which enables us to administer resets to your Account or to delete information when you request that we do so or for other administrative purposes. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of Device IDs is impaired or disabled.

Log Data: We may collect information about your interaction with the Site or the Services. When you use the Site and our Services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends, including through Web analytics tools whenever you visit a website or service connected to the Internet (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s or mobile device’s IP address, browser type, your activities within the Site, the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Site, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, search engine(s) and keywords you used to find our Site, your browser add-ons, and your browser’s width and height, sections of the Site that you access, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the Site, the Services, to analyze and understand how the Site and the Services are used, and for our advertising and marketing purposes. We may also use technologies, such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Site.

Analytics Information: We use analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assist us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use your PII to: (1) personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs); (2) improve customer service (your information helps us to more effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs); (3) process transactions (your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested); and (4) send periodic emails (the email address you provide for order processing will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order.

OPTING OUT

Transfers of Information for Legal Purposes

There are times when we may be required to disclose certain information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or search warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding, in response to law enforcement or other governmental agency requests, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights. In addition, if there is a change of control in our business (whether by merger, sale, or otherwise) or a sale or transfer of its assets, your information could be sold or transferred as part of that transaction and your PII and other information, including Non-PII, potentially used by the purchaser or other recipient of said information.

You acknowledge that MADE IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY MARKETPLACE LLC is located in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and will process and store your information in the U.S., and that as a result, U.S. governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of the U.S. If you reside outside the United States, your PII and Non-PII will be transferred, processed and stored in the U.S. under U.S. privacy standards.
