We may automatically track and collect the internet domain address, domain server, type of computer, type of web browser used to visit our Site and pages accessed and use history while visiting our Site. That type of information (often referred to as traffic data) will remain anonymous and is not considered personal information unless you voluntarily tell us personally identifiable information and it is combined with the traffic data. Traffic data helps us analyze how the Site is used and is helpful for analyzing usage of the Site and improving your experience on the Site.

We may sometimes receive updated personal information about you from other sources such as suppliers, couriers, or other companies so that we can correct your personal information in our records.
