When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with the Site.

We refer to this as “Device Information,” and we collect it using the following technologies:
- Cookies: Small data files placed on your device that help the Site function, remember preferences, and measure usage.
- Log files: Server records that track actions on the Site, including IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, and timestamps.

Information you provide to us
- Sample requests: When you request product samples through the Site, you provide information such as your name, shipping address, and any contact details you choose to enter. We use this only to process and ship your request and to follow up about it.
