This Privacy Policy will also explain how your personal information is disclosed and transmitted to the receivers.

1.The types of information we collect
We may collect relevant information (hereinafter referred to as “Materials”) in connection with your use of our Services.

1.1 Contact information that you expressly provide to us

We may request certain contact information from you in order to provide certain features of our Services to you. For instance:

You may opt in to receive marketing emails from us by providing your name and email address.
You may be able to create an account on our website in order to obtain support services for our products, such as to participate in our Most Valued Partner (MVP) Program. To create an account, we may ask you to provide your email address and indicate the nation or geographic region in which you reside or work. To facilitate our communications, we may also ask you to provide a physical mailing address and to indicate your preferred languages and gender identity.
To provide technical support to you for one of our products, we may ask you to provide your name, physical mailing, email address, and/or phone number.
We may run marketing campaigns (such as discounts on our products or raffles) from time to time. If you choose to participate in one of these campaigns, we may ask you to provide your name, physical mailing, email address, and/or phone number so that we may communicate with you regarding the campaign.
If payment is required for any of our Services, we will request your credit card or other payment information.

We restrict our use of personal data collected in this fashion to the specific purposes to which you have provided consent or for which we have another legitimate interest, such as to provide safety recall information or to request your feedback on our products that you own.
We will store the personal data only for as long as it is needed. For instance, if you have provided your personal data in connection with one of our marketing campaigns, but you have not opted in to receiving our marketing emails and you have no other commercial relationship with us, we will delete the personal data from our systems at the conclusion of the marketing campaign.
We do not seek to collect personal data from persons who are less than 16 years of age. When we ask you to provide your contact information, we will also ask you to verify that you are at least 16 years of age. We will not knowingly collect information from persons who are less than 16 years of age, and we will delete such information if we learn that it has been inadvertently collected.
