Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available in the footer of nearly every page on our website and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Information We Collect

IFiDEA collects “Personal Data” and “Non-personal Data” from you when you share it with us. IFiDEA keeps this information confidential and does not share any information submitted for the affiliate program.

Personal Data. Personal Data allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, and email address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the preceding data. Person Data is required when you register or create an account, set up a “wish list” purchase products, request information from us, sign up for emails, enter a contest, sweepstakes, or other promotion, fill out a survey, request customer support; receive a gift or shipment from someone who sent it to you via our website; or otherwise communicate with or contact us. We may also connect the Personal Data you provide by interacting with us through social media or other forums.

Remember that any comments or reviews you provide are accessible to all users of the relevant platform. They may be visible to others or collected by third parties, so you should use discretion when posting information and not post personal information. If you post personal information, you do so at your own risk.

“Non-personal Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your profile and does not permit the identification of individual persons. We may use a variety of technologies such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, or other technologies to collect Non-Personal about visitors to, and users of, our website and interactions with our emails and online and mobile advertisements, and to allow us to keep track of analytics and certain statistical information. This may include:

  • Analytics and Log Files – We may automatically collect certain information from you, including but not limited to your browser type, device type and model, operating system, and unique device identifier of any of your computer(s) or device(s) that are used to access ifidea.com or eedistribution.com, software version, Internet Protocol (IP) address, geolocation, preferred language, and the domain name from which you accessed a Site or App. We also may collect information about your use of the IFiDEA website, including the date and time you visit the IFiDEA website, the areas or pages of an IFiDEA website that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing or using the IFiDEA website, your GPS location (if you have enabled location tracking on your device), the number of times you return to the IFiDEA website, other click-stream or site usage data, emails that you open, forward, or click-through to a Site or App.
  • Cookies, Web Beacons, And Other Technologies – We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags, and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off, and across different Services and devices. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them, see below.
    • Cookies – We use many different cookies on our site. If you do not know what cookies are or how to control or delete them, then we recommend you visit aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance. Cookies allow us to identify and authenticate visitors, track aggregate behavior, and enable important site features. IFiDEA uses both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period, and we use that to identify you should you return to the site and want to find a shopping cart that you had started even if you are not logged in or don’t have a user account. Persistent cookies may also be used if you click over to IFiDEA from one of our affiliate partner websites – we will store a reference number identifying the website that referred you so they can get credit if you make a purchase – they do not receive any information about our clients ever, and the cookie contains no personal information. Session cookies are used to maintain your shopping state as you browse through the site. YouTube uses cookies to help maintain the integrity of video statistics, prevent fraud, and improve the site experience, among other things. We also contract with analytics services, third-party affiliate services, and third-party advertising companies to collect similar information for specific purposes. This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by our partners. Though you may disable cookies through your web browser, doing so may prevent you from taking advantage of some of the Sites’ features. Please see the “Your Choices” section below to opt out of these collection services. This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by our partners.

    • WebBeacons/Tags – We automatically collect aggregate, anonymous information through web beacons. We may also deliver a file to you through the Sites (a “web beacon”) from an advertising network we have contracted with. Web beacons allow third parties to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for us.
    • Targeted Advertising – Third-party advertising companies serve ads on our behalf across the Internet. They may collect anonymous information about you through cookies and/or web beacons on our Sites and other sites and then display targeted ads on various sites that you visit. If you wish not to have this information used to serve interest-based ads, you may opt-out by clicking here (or if located in the European Union Click Here).
