Like many companies, we monitor the use of the website by collecting aggregate information. No personally identifiable information is collected in this process. Typically, such information comprises customer demographics, traffic patterns, sales, and site usage. This information is used for our commercial purposes, including to improve usability, performance and effectiveness of the website.

In some instances, we may collect aggregate data through cookies and similar files.

Any improper collection or misuse of personally identifiable information provided to (B)STRONG may be a violation of The Policy and should be reported to [email protected].

Whether you visit www.goBstrong.com as a guest or register as a user and create a profile, your information is used to provide the service or transaction you requested. If you choose to create a user name and profile, we may additionally use your information to contact you to remind you about products which remain in your shopping cart or to obtain product feedback or reviews.

We may share your personally identifiable information with authorized third-parties agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company.
