This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by or on our behalf through the Site, by email, by phone, or other offline interactions with you, and anywhere else we display this Privacy Policy (collectively, the \u201cServices\u201d). This Privacy Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Services and your rights and choices with regard to the information we collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What personal information do we collect and how do we collect it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Personal information\u201d is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. When you visit the Site or interact with the Services, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you voluntarily submit, and information that we automatically collect as you browse the Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Information You Voluntarily Submit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We collect and store any information you enter on the Site or provide to us in offline contacts we have with you through the Services. We collect information from you in the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022Newsletter<\/strong> \u2013 We may collect personal information if you sign up for our newsletter. If you sign up for our newsletter, we will collect your email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022Email<\/strong> \u2013 On several screens of the Site you also have an opportunity to communicate with us by email. You may also choose to provide your email address\u00a0and first and last name\u00a0to receive communications from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022Other Offline Interactions<\/strong> \u2013 If you attend a furniture show, event, or showroom visit, we may collect certain business information from you including your business contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) Information Collected and Stored Automatically and Technologies We Use to Collect It.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you browse the Site, you and your Web browser may also transmit information that we automatically collect. We log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer), the Web pages you visit and the time of your visit, click path taken through the Site, and your usage of features on the Site. Other information automatically provided to us by your Web browser is the type of computer, operating system, and browser you are using. This information helps us manage, improve and customize the Site. This information (also called \u201ctraffic data\u201d) is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as an identifiable person, we will treat it as personal information. Technologies we use on the Site to collect traffic data, directly or through our service providers, may include cookies (data files placed on your computer or other devices used to access the Site), analytics software, and pixel tags (transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed). We, or our service providers, may place cookies or similar files on your computer or other devices used to access the Site for security purposes, to facilitate Site navigation, and to personalize your experience while visiting the Site. The Site also uses analytics tools such as Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google in aggregate form. Google uses this aggregated information on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity and other services relating to Site activity and usage. You can learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt-out here: https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout<\/a>.

If you do disable or opt-out of receiving cookies, please be aware that some features and services on the Site may not work as intended and you may not have access to all of the services and features we may offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) Information from Other Sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We may also receive information from other sources. If you attend an event as a business representative, for example, and provide your business contact information, then we may receive that information from the event host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usage of Your Personal Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, we use the personal information you provide for our business purposes, including to respond to your requests, to register you for an event, to provide the Services you requested, to communicate with you about the Services, our products and services, and to do all things necessary to administer the Site and manage, protect and to improve the content, appearance, and utility of the Site; to track our visitors\u2019 use of the Site for internal research, and to notify our visitors of updates to the Services or of new products or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sharing of Your Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We may share your personal information and other information we collect with affiliates or business partners that require access to your personal information for our business purposes. We may disclose your personal information to third parties to protect the security and integrity of the Site, to correct technical problems and malfunctions on the Site, to technically process your information, to provide the Services, or to take precautions against liability. If you request Services via a mobile device, your request will be transmitted via your mobile carrier\u2019s network and your carrier may have access to it. Consult your carrier\u2019s privacy policy for additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From time to time, we may contract with service providers to provide certain services including data management, promotional services, to process catalog orders, email distribution, digital asset management, website hosting, and functionality. We may provide these providers with the information needed for them to perform those contracted services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization, or liquidation of our business. We reserve the right to disclose any personal information as needed if that information is requested by law enforcement agencies or if we are required to do so by law, treaty, regulation, subpoena, court order, or by a government entity. We also may disclose your personal information to third parties if we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to conduct investigations of possible breaches of law, to cooperate in any legal investigation, or to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating any agreement with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer not to receive the newsletter from us, then please let us know.

We work with these advertising service providers that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our advertising providers may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails and communications, and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us.
