COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
The Platform collects information in two (2) ways: actively and passively. We may collect information including personally identifiable information (your full name, email address, phone number) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g. aggregate statistics about what parts of our Platform are most popular).
Active information collection can include both personally identifiable information (e.g., your full name, address, mobile number, email address or similar information that is unique to you), and non-personally identifiable information (e.g., if we were to ask for your first name and a list of the top three things you like about our Platform).
Active information is collected from you if you are a Guest or Registered User in the following manner:
A Guest or a Registered User may purchase a product on the Platform and we may ask the Guest to disclose its full name, email address, phone number, full shipping address, full billing address and payment details.
A Guest or a Registered User may write to us using the ‘contact us’ feature on the Platform, where the Guest will be asked to disclose its full name, email address, phone number and a personal message.
A Registered User may subscribe to our monthly subscription, and in such case, grants the Platform permission to send regular emails, promotions, until such time the Registered User expressly requests to unsubscribe to the email chain, or the contract between the Platform and the Registered User is terminated. We shall not deny any request to unsubscribe made by a Registered User. You will also grant us permission to send you e-mails, newsletters and any other document or content as part of your monthly subscription, as well as permission to renew your subscription every month, unless you expressly state to cancel your subscription.
