Privacy
Policy
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.
1. 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. In
addition, if you choose, we may share your information with
other companies who provide goods or services that you are
interested in. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 use encryption to protect your
information contained in our customer list.
We use a firewall to protect
against unlawful intrusion.
We limit access to your
information on a “need to know” basis.
We reveal only the last five
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.
4. Your Choice: Opt-in or
Opt-out.
It is your choice whether to
receive emails or special offers from us or others. The
following section provides you with this choice. Please note
the default settings.
Please send me email or other
mail informing me of special offers of your products or
services.
Please do not send me email or
other mail informing me of special offers of your products or
services.
Please send me email or other
mail informing me of special offers of related products or
services from other companies.
Please do not send me email or
other mail informing me of special offers of related products
or services from other companies.
