The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Economyhot.com. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our store and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.
Here are the types of information we gather.
· Information you give us: we receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way.
· Automatic information: we receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Economyhot.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised experience at Economyhot.com if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
· E-mail communications: to help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Economyhot.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please use the unsubscribe feature provided in the email.
· Information from other sources: we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
