HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION
Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”)
We may collect personally identifiable information (“PII”) such as your name, your contact information, your shipping information, and your billing information (such as credit card account data). We collect PII when you provide it to us through your use of the VitaeGlass Services, for example when you interact with our websites, place an order, or sign up for our mailing list. We may combine the PII we collect with additional information from other third-party sources.
We use the PII that we collect to provide the VitaeGlass Services (such as to process and ship your orders or respond to customer service requests), to analyze and improve the Vitaeglass Services, and to conduct marketing. If you register for email or if you provide your email address to us, we will send you emails about a variety of topics such as events, new products, special sales, promotional offers from our affiliates or other selected business partners, environmental issues, and employment opportunities.

We share email activity data with our marketing email provider to help them better target email deployments to consumers. While our marketing email provider has access to email address and email activity and may share bulk/non-specific activity data, no Email addresses or specific email actions are ever shared with other third parties. Should a consumer wish to opt out of this sharing, that consumer simply needs to opt out of marketing email from us.
