THE INFORMATION THAT ANDI COLLECTS, AND HOW IT IS COLLECTED:
ANDI collects Personal Information and Anonymous Information from you when you visit the Site, create an account, submit a request or support ticket, or place an order.

"Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information and which cannot be used to identify an individual. ANDI collects and uses Personal Information and Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
- USER PROVIDED INFORMATION
You may voluntarily provide Personal Information such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number, or credit card information when placing orders or participating in various activities on the Site.

"Cookies" are small lines of text that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a website. ANDI uses both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until they expire or until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Site.

ANDI also uses cookies to collect and track your IP address. An "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases, your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session.

ANDI tracks IP addresses in conjunction with session cookies to analyze our web page flow, for fraud detection purposes, and to maintain the security of your account and of the Site.

- INFORMATION COLLECTED BY WEB BEACONS
In addition to cookies, ANDI employs "invisible pixels" (a.k.a. web beacons) on the Site and in connection with certain email communications. An invisible pixel is a tiny, 1x1 image that is loaded when you visit a Site, but instead of calling up an image, it causes a cookie or application to be downloaded. Pixels and other web beacons can be used for a number of web tracking or advertising purposes, however, the web beacons implemented on the ANDI Site are limited to the anonymous tracking of Site usage patterns. Additionally, ANDI uses Web Beacons to anonymously track whether certain email communications are opened by recipients.

These server logs include information such as your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser language, referring pages (including URLs), platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of any requests you make while navigating the Site. ANDI uses this information to optimize the Site for your particular browser environment, monitor and analyze Site traffic and Site flow in order to improve Site organization and functionality, and to maintain Site security.
The information collected in the server logs is not personal information and cannot be used to personally identify you. While the server logs are associated with your IP address in order to track specific browsing sessions on the Site, ANDI does not store or associate the information in the server logs—including your IP address—with your account or contact information.
