We collect Personal Information from people who browse our Websites and from people who purchase products from our Websites, as outlined in the section titled “How We Collect Information.” “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. We collect this information to provide, maintain, and improve our products and website and for other reasons listed in the “How We Use Information” section below. We will retain your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We only collect sensitive Personal Information to provide our Products and our Website, and we delete this information as soon as the purposes for collection are complete. We may sell or share identifiers, commercial information, internet or other electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from any of the information listed above. To exercise your right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information please contact us.

When information is anonymized, Personal Information is removed from collected data and the remaining portion of the data, containing only Non-Personal Information, is repurposed for internal or external use. Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized. Anonymized information is considered Non-Personal Information. Any Personal Information collected when you visit our Websites or use our Products that is either aggregated or anonymized so it does not identify you personally will not be considered “Personal Information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If you believe we might have inadvertently collected Personal Information from or about a child under the age of 14, please contact us at marketing@aqi-intl.com
We do not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. However, under certain laws, disclosing Personal Information to third parties for advertising purposes may be considered a "sale" or "sharing."

How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect for a number of purposes. These purposes will be consistent with the reason you provided the information to us or for a directly related purpose. The uses we make of such information include the following:
Disclosure of Your Information
Under no circumstances do we rent or sell your Personal Information to third parties. We only share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes if you have granted us permission to do so. We will ask for your consent, such as by email response, opt-in box or click-through agreement acceptance, before we use or share your Personal Information for any purpose other than the reason you provided it or as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
Additionally the Website uses remarketing services to advertise on third party web sites to you after you visited our Website. We, and our third party vendors, use cookies to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past visits to our Website.
You can opt-out of AdRoll remarketing by visiting this AdRoll Advertising Preferences web page: http://info.evidon.com/pub_info/573?v=1&nt=1&nw=false
Google Adwords. You can update the settings of AdWords by visiting: http://www.google.com/settings/ads.

For more information about targeted advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
We also may disclose Personal Information in the following ways:
Any third parties with whom we share your Personal Information are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure these third parties comply with the same privacy principles that govern our collection of your Personal Information.
When making purchases on our Website store(s), we use a payment processor to verify your payment card information. Your payment card information is passed through to the payment processor and is not collected or stored by us. The payment processor is authorized to use this information only to authenticate your purchase and for no other purpose.
The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
In addition, we may share aggregated and anonymized information, including usage data about our Products, with third parties for a variety of purposes. We’ve taken steps to ensure that this information cannot be linked back to you, and we require third parties to keep all shared information in its anonymized form.
Marketing
You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes. In accordance with this Website Privacy Policy, and with your consent, we may use your Personal Information for marketing purposes or disclose your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes. Whenever possible, we will always give you choices about your Personal Information. Some choices are presented up front in the form of opt-in notices or acceptance boxes for marketing to you or sharing your Personal Information with third parties. In certain cases, where permitted by law, we also may give you the choice to opt-out. “Opt-out” means you have already chosen to opt-in, but you later change your mind. One form of opt-out is clicking the Unsubscribe link in a marketing email. This will take you off of our marketing email list. Our general policy is to have users opt-in, rather than opt-out, to receive marketing information and to allow the sharing of information with third parties. Please note that these opt-in/opt-out choices do not apply to the receipt of mandatory website, customer service, or receipt of order or shipping confirmations on Our Website store(s), which you may receive periodically unless you cancel your service or order.
New Products
When you purchase new Products, we will only use your Personal Information for the purposes set out (i) in this Privacy Policy and (ii) in any notification provided to you at the time of purchase.

If you don’t want people to know your email address, for example, don’t include it in any message you post publicly. PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DISCLOSING ANY INFORMATION IN PUBLIC POSTING AREAS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU DISCLOSE IN PUBLIC POSTING AREAS.
Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals
The “Do Not Track” (DNT) privacy preference is an option that may be made in some web browsers allowing you to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At this time, global standard DNT technology is not yet finalized, and not all browsers support DNT. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.
However, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as valid requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information, where applicable under California law. You may also exercise your opt-out rights by contacting us at ecom@aqi-intl.com.
