This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from freelancewithandy.com, or use any of our services, applications, or tools (collectively, the "Services").

1. Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site.

We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• "Cookies" are data files that are placed on your device and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
• "Log files" track actions occurring on the site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
• "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).

Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

• Communicate with you;

• Improve and optimize our site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the site).

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our site.

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you.

Our site may include integrations with social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.
