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 text files that we transfer to your hard
drive that allow us to recognize you and to provide you with a customized
shopping experience. Your cookies must be enabled in order to use our site.
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 browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses of
sites clicked to and from this site.
2.How Do We Use Your Information?
Customized
Shopping. We use
your information to better serve you by providing a customized shopping
experience including links to things you have purchased in the past and express
checkout features.
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.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.
5.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).
6.Contact Us
