Gathering of Personally Identifying Information
Our Site generally has two areas: a public area that is viewable by any visitor to our site and a restricted area that is only accessible to retailer customers who have registered with our site. The information collected by RAZ differs, depending on whether a visitor accesses only the public area of the site or accesses the restricted area that is only available to registered retailers.
In addition, our site collects two types of information from and about you: information that you provide that may be used to personally identify or contact you – your Personal Information; and information that does not personally identify your Non-Personal Information. We collect this information directly from you when you provide it to us, automatically as you navigate through the site or from third parties.
Categories of Information Collected
RAZ collects Personal Information from Users in a variety of ways.
Contact data in the form of an email address for those visitors to our site that access only the public areas, contact data such as your name, address, email addresses, type of business, billing address, sales tax ID number, phone number, etc. to register an account on our site, financial information or payment information such as credit card, debit card or other payment information collected to pay for purchases made through the site and other information provided by account holders in relation to services provided via our site that may include some personal information, such as transactional information, information that you submit to any forms, or information you provide when you interact with or use the features on the site.
Certain information may not be Personal Information when standing alone but may become so when combined with other information. Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to realize a benefit we may offer or gain access to certain content on our Site.
RAZ may use Personal Information collected through the Site for the specific purposes for which the information was collected, including to provide our services to you, respond to your requests and inquiries, verify your identity and enable you to securely log in to the Site, verify your address, contact you for a variety of reasons, including for customer service, to provide information on products and services offered by RAZ that we believe may be of interest to you, to manage risk, or to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared via our Site, and otherwise to enhance your experience with RAZ, conduct research regarding the effectiveness of the Site and the business planning, marketing, advertising, and sales efforts of RAZ and its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners and to help ensure compliance with certain terms and conditions and agreements entered between you and RAZ as well as to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of content downloaded or otherwise accessed via the Site.
