What type of information does Tonic Method collect?
Our goal is to provide you with an enjoyable experience. We sometimes collect information about you in an effort to make our products and services more efficient and customized to you. You are free to browse the Website without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. However, once you give us your personally identifiable information (as further described below), you are not anonymous to us. We collect two types of information from visitors to the Website, “Automatic Anonymous Information,” or “AAI,” (which does not identify you personally) and “Personally Identifiable Information, or “PII,” which is individually identifiable information about you that could permit one to identify or contact you. We treat AAI and PII differently and the following sections describe both AAI and PII, and address how each type of information is collected and used by Tonic Method.
Information You Volunteer. We collect the PII you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use our Website. At various places on the Website, we may request certain PII, such as your name, phone number, email, shipping address and other personal information. You may choose to provide PII in order to access or use certain features or services of the Website, such as registering on the Website, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or providing feedback. Where possible, we indicate which fields of information are required and which fields are optional. You can always choose not to provide information, but you may not be able to use a particular service or feature on the Website.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information does not identify you personally, and typically includes your IP address, the address of the web page you were visiting when you accessed our Website, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, and the date and time of your visit. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.
