This Privacy Notice describes the personal information we collect from our customers through Ciel client relations, our eCommerce website, and via telephone.

During this process, you will be required to provide valid and up-to-date personal information, including but not limited to your legal name, phone number and e-mail address, as well as other personal information as applicable, such as shipping address, billing address and payment details (collectively "Personal Information").

respond to your request or activate your option choices.
