We know that you care how your information is used, and we appreciate your trust
that we will use it carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy.
By visiting us, you are accepting the privacy policy described below.
- What Personal Information Do We Collect?
Information You Provide. We receive and store information you enter. For example,
when you search for or buy a product or service, or when you supply information
such as your address, phone number or credit card. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of
our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding
to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our website, and
communicating with you. We respect your privacy and do not tolerate spam and will
never sell, rent, lease or give away your information (name, address, email, etc.)
to any third party. Please see the "opt-in/opt-out” selection in Section
4 of this policy.
- Cookies.
Like many websites, we use "cookies". Cookies are small programs that
we transfer to your hard drive that allow us to recognize you and to provide you
with a customized shopping experience. If you do not want us to use cookies, you
can easily disable them by going to the toolbar of your web browser, and clicking
on the "help” button. Follow the instructions that will prevent the browser
from accepting cookies, or set the browser to inform you when you receive a new
cookie. In addition, you may visit this and other websites anonymously through the
use of utilities provided by other private companies.
- Other Information:
Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses of computers
used to visit this site are noted. In addition, we automatically collect other information
such as email addresses, browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses
of sites clicked to and from this site.
- Information from Other Sources.
We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information. This may include updated delivery and address information from our
shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next
purchase or communication more easily.
- How Do We Use Your Information?
Customized Shopping. We use your information to better serve you by providing a
customized shopping experience. As noted above, you may "opt-out” of
this customization, or even visit and shop anonymously.
- Agents.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and processing credit
card payments. They have access to personal information needed to perform their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Special Offers.
We may send you special offers from time to time, unless you choose to "opt-out”
of receiving such offers. In addition, we may also send you special offers from
other companies. Again, you may "opt-out”. If we send you offers from
other businesses, we do not share your personal information with them. The offers
come directly through us. Please see the "opt-in/opt-out” selection at
the end of this policy.
- Business Transfers.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In
such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets. Also, in the unlikely event that we are acquired, customer information will
be one of the transferred assets.
- Law Enforcement.
If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information
then we will comply with the law. We will also release information when necessary
to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
- We limit access to your information on a "need to know” basis.
We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming
an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate
credit card company during order processing.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
No system can guarantee absolute security, just as the finest lock can not guarantee
physical security. However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your
data is secure.
- Children
We do not sell products or services to children. If you are under 18, you may use
this site only with involvement of a parent or guardian.
- Other Websites
Various Web sites may be linked to from this site. If you link to another site,
your privacy depends on the policy of that site. We strongly urge you to check their
privacy policy. Not all sites guarantee that they will not share your personally
identifiable information with others. You may also wish to consult privacy guidelines
such as those recommended by the Online Privacy Alliance (www.privacyalliance.org).
- Contact Us
If you would like to learn more about our privacy policy, or to access your personally
identifiable information contained on our website, you may contact us from our Contact Us page. You will be required to provide identifier
information to assure that this information is not released to others. We reserve
the right to modify this policy in the future. If we do so, notice will be posted
