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

offers of your products or services.
