How do we get the Customer’s consent?

When the Customer provides us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify the credit card, place an order, and arrange a delivery or return of a purchase, it automatically means the Customer is consenting us to collect and use the Customer’s information to the extent necessary to complete these purposes. If we ask for the Customer’s personal information for a secondary reason (e.g. marketing), we will either ask an expressed consent directly from the Customer or provide the Customer with an opportunity to say no.
