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:

It is your choice
whether to receive emails or special offers from us or others.
The following section provides you with this choice.
