Information We Collect

Through the Site, you can engage in various activities. In doing so, you will provide certain information to us. For example, when you register your SwissTech product, we will collect your name, email address, phone number, and certain information regarding your purchase. When you register for a newsletter or alert available through the Site, we will collect the information you provide to us. We may also offer sweepstakes and contests through the Site, and, if so, we will collect the information you provide us in connection with the promotion. If you provide information regarding other people to us, you represent that you have permission from those people to do so. We may also integrate with a third-party service that allows content sharing via Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. If we do so, and you share content via that service, you will be sharing information with the service, not with the Site.

It can then be used to connect your use of the Site to other information about you, including your personal information.

We and our service providers may use “cookies” to customize your experience on the Site. “Cookies” are small computer files that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive and contain information such as your preferences and the pages you have visited and the activities you have performed while using the Site.

We and our service providers may use small pieces of code on the Site called “web beacons,” also known as “pixel tags” or “clear gifs.” Web beacons collect anonymous and aggregate advertising data.

You may block web beacons by blocking cookies in your browser and/or deleting cookies from your hard drive.

We and our service providers may use local shared objects, which are also called “flash cookies,” and local storage objects such as HTML5. These technologies are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. You may not be able to control flash cookies using standard browser tools and settings. For information about how to delete Flash cookies, please visit the Adobe website here.
