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.
