provide to our websites in any other way. This information may include:
-
your name.

your mailing address.
-
your e-mail address.

Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact
with our websites. For example, we use "cookies" like many other
websites. Through "cookies" we obtain certain types of information when
your web browser accesses our websites. Although there are utilities
designed to help you visit websites anonymously, we cannot provide you
with a personalized experience or certain services at our websites if we
cannot recognize you.
What are "Cookies" and how do we use them?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that may be transferred to your
computer's hard drive through your web browser. Cookies allow us to
enhance your overall experience with our website. Cookies are not
capable of doing anything to your hard drive. Cookies simply contain
information about you and your preferences and may tell a website that a
previous visitor has returned – they do not reveal anything personal.
For instance, a cookie might only contain a record of which pages you
visited within a website or the items placed in a shopping cart that
might need to be displayed on a later check out screen.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of
our website's more robust features, so we recommend that you leave
them turned on.
How Is Your Personally Identifiable Information Used and Shared?
We may use your personally identifiable information in many ways,
including sending you promotional materials and sharing your information
with third parties so that these third parties can send you promotional
materials. (By promotional materials, we mean communications that
promote the use of our websites or the purchase of products or services)
As outlined below, you may “opt-out” of certain uses of your personal
information.
Our Use
We may use information that you provide to improve the personalization
of our service to you by providing better product recommendations or
special offers that we think will be of interest to you.
Selected Companies and Organizations
We may share your personal information (excluding payment information)
with carefully selected business partners and other third parties. These
companies and organizations may use the information we share to provide
special opportunities and offers to you.
Service Providers
Our websites may also share information with companies that provide
support services or that help us market our products and services. These
companies may need information about you in order to perform their
functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we
share with them for any other purpose.
Protection of Our Websites and Others
We may disclose information you provide to our websites when we believe
disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply
our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights,
property or safety of our websites, our users or others.
Business Transfers
If some or all of the business assets of our websites are sold or
transferred, we generally would transfer the corresponding information
regarding our guests. We also may retain a copy of that guest
information.
What choices do I have?
E–Mails
If you provide our websites with your e-mail address, you may receive
e-mails from us. You can discontinue these e-mails by
following the instructions to unsubscribe at the end of the email
message. We may maintain separate email lists for different purposes
(e.g. newsletters) and you may still receive select e-mails from us.
Sharing with Other Companies
We may share your personal information (excluding payment information)
with carefully selected business partners and other third parties. These
companies and organizations may use the information we share to provide
special opportunities and offers to you. You can discontinue these
e-mails by following the instructions to unsubscribe at the end of the
email message.
Application of This Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to all information collected or submitted on
our websites.
Children
We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the Internet and we
comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from
children under the age of 13. Our products are not intended for anyone
less than 18 years of age and by ordering from our site, you are
representing that you are an adult.
Your Consent
By using our websites, you consent to our use of information that is
collected or submitted as described in this online privacy policy. We
may change or add to this privacy policy so we encourage you to review
it periodically. We will include the date the privacy policy was last
updated.
Security
Our Commitment to Data Security
We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security
safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.
Secure Sockets Layering (SSL)
We utilize the latest and most secure version of Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption technology. This technology safeguards your personal
information and guarantees privacy. It encrypts all of your personal
information, including payment information, name, email address and
mailing address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels
over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure
online transactions.
