How We Use Your Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services. We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to perform our contract with you, to process your payments, to fulfill your orders, to remember your preferences and items you are interested in, to send notifications to you related to your account, to process purchases, returns, exchanges or other transactions, to process hardware purchases and trade-ins, to create, maintain and otherwise manage your account, to arrange for shipping, to facilitate any returns and exchanges, to enable you to post reviews, and to create a customized shopping experience for you, such as recommending products related to your purchases. This may include using your personal information to better tailor and improve the Services.

Marketing and Advertising. We use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as to send marketing, advertising and promotional communications by email, text message or postal mail, and to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services or other websites, including based on items you previously have purchased or added to your cart and other activity on the Services. We may also use your information for audience matching and targeted advertising through third-party advertising platforms, including advertising platforms.

Security and Fraud Prevention. We use your personal information to authenticate your account, to provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate or take action regarding possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, protect public safety, and to secure our services.

How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

With vendors and other third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g. IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment and shipping). These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to perform services for us.

With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. For example, we use analytics and advertising partners to support personalized advertising with third-party services based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on where you reside, you may have a right to direct us not to share information about you to show you targeted advertisements and marketing based on your online activity with different merchants and websites.

When you direct, request us or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties, such as to ship you products or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.

With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.

In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with any applicable legal obligations (including to respond to subpoenas, search warrants and similar requests), to enforce any applicable terms of service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, our use of certain advertising and marketing tools may involve "sharing" personal information with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws such as the CPRA. You can opt out of this sharing at any time (see Your Rights and Choices below).

Data Retention

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide you with Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

Order, transaction, and hardware buying program records are retained as long as necessary for tax, accounting, legal compliance, and dispute resolution purposes. Account data is retained for as long as your account is active; if you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize your information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law. Marketing and communication preferences are retained until you opt out or request deletion. Device and usage data is retained in identifiable form for a limited period to support analytics and security purposes; aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely. Customer support records are retained for a reasonable period following the last interaction to support ongoing service quality and dispute resolution.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a variety of safeguards, including SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers, PCI-DSS compliant payment processing through third-party providers, regular malware scanning and vulnerability assessments, access controls limiting personnel who can access personal information to those with a legitimate business need, and secure network infrastructure with monitoring and logging.

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users via email and through an on-site notification within seven (7) business days of confirming the breach, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
