INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect two types of information from users of the Site: “personally identifiable information” which means any information by which a user can be personally identified (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, billing and account number, credit card information, and other information incidental to providing goods and services) and “aggregate information” which means information that would not permit the personal identification of a user (such as IP address, frequency of visits to the Site and Site pages most frequently accessed).
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Marble Crafter collects personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided by users of the Site, such as when placing an order on the Site, establishing an account, contacting us with a question or comment, utilizing an “Email to a Friend” feature, or signing up to receive emails about our latest products and services. In addition, Marble Crafter may from time to time conduct surveys on the Site where users can voluntarily participate and provide personally identifiable information. We may maintain a record of your purchases or the types of products that appeal to you. By providing personally identifiable information to us, we are better able to match your interests. Marble Crafter may use your personally identifiable information for various purposes such as to help us improve the Site, to better tailor our products, services and marketing efforts, and to provide content on the Site or inform you of upcoming promotions and other product or service offerings that may be of interest to you
COLLECTION AND USE OF AGGREGATE INFORMATION
Marble Crafter also collects aggregate information, which is used in a collective manner, and no individual person can be identified by this compiled information. The types of aggregate information we collect include frequency of visits to the Site, search terms entered, Site pages most frequently accessed; location, age or gender of users; and types of products that are of greatest interest to our customers. By knowing more about the general profile or our customers (without identifying any specific individual characteristics), we believe we can improve your shopping experience.

We may use certain aggregate information for research or marketing purposes and may share, trade or publish that aggregate information and statistical data derived from such information with our parent, affiliates or third parties for research or marketing purposes. We do not use aggregate information to identify a particular user.
