When you sign up for a Capstone Crate subscription (an “Account”), you provide us your name, email address, mailing address to register with us or connect to our Service via a Social Networking Site, or “SNS” (defined below). In addition, we collect information as part of your profile, including date of birth, sizing, style preference, and household information. If you post a photo of yourself on one of our social media accounts, we will collect that photo for potential use.
If you provide us feedback, respond to a survey, or contact us via email, we will collect your name and email address, as well as any other content included in the email, in order to send you a reply, and may use any feedback on our SNS, website, newsletter or inside the Capstone Crate.
