Information Collection
Millennial Living collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

When you order a product or service we use your name, email address, delivery and shipping addresses, and credit card number and expiration date (or financial information) as part of a credit check. This information allows us to process the order and deliver the product or service. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.
We ask for your telephone number to enable us to contact you if there is a problem with your order or the delivery of a product or service. In the event you have asked for the delivery of tangible goods, we may need to share the telephone number with the carrier delivering the goods.
