Information We Collect and How We
Use It
|
| |
We want you to understand
that little information about you is obtained during your visit to our
web site. In general, you can browse this web site without telling us
who you are or revealing personal information about yourself. We do
gather non-personal navigational information about where visitors go on
our web site and information about the technical efficiencies of our web
site (i.e., statistics about web server activity, the type of data
visitors accessed, referrer information, search engine performance,
geographic information, browsers, platforms, server errors, and so on).
We regularly analyze and use this information to deliver updated content
and to support and enhance our relationship with you when you visit our
site, through both advertising and keyword promotion.
If you choose to make a purchase, and we hope that you will, we will
collect your name, billing and shipping addresses, telephone number and
email address, and log your IP address. We do not sell this information
to any third party. We will however, in the normal course of business,
provide this information to our agents, representatives, contractors,
warehouses, and service providers that help us fulfill our obligations
to you. The information you provide is used for fraud protection
purposes, order fulfillment, authorizing or completing a sale, to
respond to your inquiries and as otherwise necessary to fulfill our
obligations to you. Please understand we need this information so that,
among other things, you can be contacted with problems or discrepancies
related to your order; to resolve disputes and to provide electronic
notification of the receipt and eventual billing of your order; or to
provide notification of your shipment status from a shipping partner. By
using this web site, you agree that information collected through our
web site in this manner can be used by us for these purposes.
Summarily, we may use your information to verify that you are who you
say you are, and to provide your financial information to our service
providers and other such third parties we determine necessary to process
your transactions, such as the credit card companies and banking
institutions used to process the transaction. You should also be aware
that we may disclose specific information about you if necessary to do
so by law or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to
conform or comply with the law or it is necessary to protect the users
of our web site, the site or the public.

Use of Cookies and Other
Technologies

This web site uses a
browser feature known as a cookie, which assigns a unique identification
to your computer. Cookies are typically stored on your computer's hard
drive and are used by us to help track clicks and pass information as
you go through the pages within the web site. For example, the cookies
we use allow you to add multiple items to your shopping cart and
recognize items that you placed in your shopping cart in a previous
browsing session.
We use an outside data collection tool from a third-party source to
better understand this website’s metrics. Data collected includes
or could include search engine referrals, traffic driven by online
promotions, how you navigate around our site, items placed in shopping
carts and which are abandoned, purchases if made in the same or multiple
sessions and other miscellaneous information that may be provided thru
the tools you use to navigate and access this site. The collected data
is analyzed on an aggregate basis and tied only to anonymous transaction
totals, so it is not associated with the personal information of our
visitors.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
These ads are located in a green box near the bottom of each page.
Google utilizes the
DART cookie
which enables it to serve these ads. Users may opt out of the use of the

Site Security

SSL encryption. Your credit card number is regularly purged from

you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.

send sensitive information over the internet, we have provided

products. You can print your completed order (select type of method:
