PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information about your browsing device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information which you supply directly to us, such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address and payment method data (NOTE: WE DO NOT HOLD NOR COLLECT INDIVIDUAL CREDIT CARD DATA - just the payment method type, dates and other meta-data passed to us by the payment clearing platform regarding the purchase made based on the billing platform you used - we bill through highly secured 3rd party platforms e.g. PayPal - so we do NOT hold the actual payment data you provide. Data such as credit number and additional payment exclusive data is held and handled ONLY by the platform you choose to process the payment with.
