What information
do we collect?
We collect
information from you when you register on the site, place an order,
respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate
in another site feature. When ordering or registering, we may ask
you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number,
credit card information or other information. You may, however,
visit our site anonymously.
How do we use your
information?
We may use the
information we collect from you in the following ways: To
personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type
of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer
service requests. To quickly process your transactions. To send you
periodic e-mails.
How do we protect
visitor information?
We implement a
variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal
information. Your personal information is contained behind secured
networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who
have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep
the information confidential. When you place orders or access your
personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All
sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases
to be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use
"cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are
small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that
enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your
browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance,
we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your
shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your
preferences based on previous or current site activity, which
enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use
cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and
site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and
tools in the future.
We may contract with
third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding
our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use
the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct
and improve our business.
You can choose to
have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you
can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser
(like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each
browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to
learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies
off, you won't have access to many features that make your site
experience more efficient and some of our services will not function
properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by
contacting customer service.
Do we disclose the
information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell,
trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally
identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice.
It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties
who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or
servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this
information confidential. We may also release your information when
we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce
our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or
safety.
