Collection of personal information
To serve you better and understand your needs and interests, LikeTheDew.com collects, exports, and uses personal information with adequate notice and consent, when applicable. For example, when you order products, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials, register yourself, enter contests or participate in surveys at LikeTheDew.com, we will ask you to provide personal information to complete these transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include contact information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address; and other unique information such as user IDs and passwords, and transaction information, product and service preferences, and contact preferences. If you choose to use an email or tell-a-friend program on our site, we will ask you for your friend’s e-mail address and automatically send your friend a one-time e-mail inviting your friend to visit the site. LikeTheDew.com uses and stores this information only for the purpose of sending this one-time e-mail and to provide tell-a-friend message blocking, where available. In addition to the information you provide, LikeTheDew.com may also collect information during your visit to an LikeTheDew.com website through our Automatic Data Collection Tools, which include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at an LikeTheDew.com website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with LikeTheDew.com websites) and product information. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers use IP addresses to communicate on the Internet, allowing users to browse and shop. LikeTheDew.com may also use some of these Automatic Data Collection Tools in connection with certain emails sent from LikeTheDew.com and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email.
The following sections provide additional information about commonly-used web technology tools.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a small data file transferred by a website to your computer’s hard drive. LikeTheDew.com sends cookies when you surf our site or sites where our ads appear, make purchases, request or personalize information, or register yourself for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on our site or sites where our ads appear may give us access to information about your browsing behavior, which we may use to personalize your experience. Cookies are typically classified as either “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies.
• Session cookies do not stay on your computer after you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire. Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If you turn off cookies, there may be some features of our site that will not be available to you and some Web pages may not display properly.
You can find information on popular browsers and how to adjust your cookie preferences at the following websites:

Web beacons
Some LikeTheDew.com.com and third-party Web pages and HTML-formatted email use Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email. A Web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1×1) or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date of a page viewed, and a description of the page where the Web beacon is placed.
You may be able to disable Web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in the message you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a Web beacon or other automatic data collection tools in the email message due to specific email software capabilities. For more information about this, please refer to the information provided by your email software or service provider.
If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters, LikeTheDew.com may automatically collect personal information about you. For example, through Web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these emails or newsletters, LikeTheDew.com can track whether you’ve opened those messages and whether you’ve clicked on links contained within those messages. For more information on embedded Web links, see below.
Embedded web links
Emails from LikeTheDew.com often use links designed to lead you to a relevant area on the Web, after redirection through LikeTheDew.com’s servers. The redirection system allows LikeTheDew.com to change the destination URL of these links, if necessary, and to determine the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives.
In emails, such web links may also allow LikeTheDew.com to determine whether you have clicked a link in an email, and this information about the interaction may be connected to your personal identity. If you do not want LikeTheDew.com to collect information about the links that you click, you can change your choice about how you receive communications from LikeTheDew.com (i.e. choose a text-based version of the message where available) or choose not to click links in an email that LikeTheDew.com sends.
Information-gathering tools
LikeTheDew.com may use tools to collect information about your experience on some LikeTheDew.com websites. These tools do not involve the use of Web beacons or cookies, but record your interaction with an LikeTheDew.com website as captured by an LikeTheDew.com server. Certain tools, used in some countries, may enable LikeTheDew.com to replay customer web sessions. These tools are used primarily for troubleshooting purposes; information collected by these tools will be stored for a limited period of time.
LikeTheDew.com also collects information from commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address and demographic data. The information LikeTheDew.com collects from its commercial sources may be used along with the information LikeTheDew.com collects when you visit LikeTheDew.com’s websites. For example, LikeTheDew.com may compare the geographic information acquired from commercial sources with the IP address collected by Automatic Data Collection Tools to derive your general geographic area.

It is LikeTheDew.com’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
