HOW DO WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We generally use the order information we collect to fulfill orders placed through the Website (including the processing of your payment information, shipping arrangements and the provision of invoices and / or order confirmations). We also use this ordering information to:

If you agree with the preferences you have shared with us, you provide information or advertising regarding our products or services.

We use the device information we collect to help us look for potential risks and fraud (particularly your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our website (for example, by creating information about how our customers browsing and using the Website, and to evaluate the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
