1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Nature of information collected - Our Site may at various occasions may require you to give us the following personal information -

  • "contact information" (i.e., information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal address, phone number and email address as well as your computer's unique IP address);

  • "financial information" (i.e., passwords, credit and debit card numbers and bank and other financial institution account numbers); and

  • "demographic information" (e.g., PIN code, city, gender, purchase history information, posting and sales information and age as well as IP addresses that are not unique to your computer).

However, you can visit most pages on the Site without giving us any information about yourself. In such cases, our systems may collect information that is sent over the internet without your control such as your IP address and other such information. We may also use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response time, download errors, length of visits to certain pages etc.

We emphasize that no sensitive personal information or data is collected about or from you without your consent. However, we may collect information or data voluntarily submitted by you including while making purchases at the Site, in contacting Re Earth through the Site, answering surveys and polls, entering contests and similar promotions and signing up for updates. Voluntary provision of information by you, including by the use of the Site, will be deemed as consent.
