When you place an order for delivery, we collect information necessary to complete the delivery.
This may include the recipient's name, address, telephone number, business or facility information, and delivery instructions.
This information is used to facilitate delivery and communicate with the recipient or customer when necessary.
Because delivery information may relate to someone other than the person placing the order, customers should provide only information that is reasonably necessary for us to complete the requested delivery.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, remember preferences, understand website traffic, and provide a better user experience.
Cookies are small files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions included in the message or by contacting us directly.
Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send transactional communications that are necessary to complete or manage an order.

11. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
