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. 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.
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 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.
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.

offers of your products or services.

your products or services.
