Visiting

Your IP address, browser and reference site domain name are logged every time you visit our site. This data is used strictly for the analysis of load information and maximizing the efficiency of our servers. Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not share this data with anyone in any way.

Using Cookies

"Cookies" are files stored on your computer's hard drive by your browser. These cookies help us identify our account holders and optimize their shopping experience. They do not include any data that will identify you personally nor do they track your browsing history. They will, however, allow you to use some specialized features and save your log-in information if so instructed. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in your shopping cart when you leave our site without checking out. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but allow you to disable them if you wish.

Ordering from our store

When you order from our store, we need your name, email address, shipping address and credit card number/expiration date. We use this data to process your order, ship it and send you order and shipping confirmations via email. Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not sell, rent, or give out this data to any other organization without your consent. (However, we will cooperate fully should a situation arise where we are required by law or requested by a law enforcement agency to provide information about a customer.)

We use the purchases you make to customize our product recommendations. We also track customer traffic patterns and site usage. Traffic and usage data is used only to improve our site's design and provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience.

Opening a Account

We require your name, address, email address and telephone number, to open an account for you. Except as provided in this privacy policy, this account data is never shared with anyone in any way without your consent. (However, we will cooperate fully should a situation arise where we are required by law or requested by a law enforcement agency to provide information about a customer.) To correct any account data, simply sign on and fix the information that is incorrect.

From time to time, we may contact you about sales, special offers and new site features if you subscribed to one of our email lists when you opened your account. To customize the information you want to receive from us, simply log in and select the specific information you wish to receive. To cancel our free emails, you can unclick the "I would like to receive emails about special offers and promotions" box. You can also reply to any promotional email we send you, placing "REMOVE" in your subject line to discontinue email service. You can also send an email or call us and inform us that you want to unsubscribe to our email list. If you do not uncheck the "I would like to receive emails about special offers and promotions" box, any information gathered from you will be subject to the web site privacy policy.

Order Fulfillment: Certain vendors of ours provide customer order fulfillment and shipping services on our behalf. These vendors have access only to information needed to accurately fulfill and ship orders, which are processed through such vendors. These vendors have agreed to not use any personally identifiable information of customers for any other purpose.

Credit Card Processing: We use PayPal to process credit card orders. We supply them with data for credit card authorization and fraud detection only and they are restricted from using the data for any other purposes.

Marketing and Promotions: From time to time, we engage certain third parties to assist in the dissemination of marketing and promotional offers (i.e. e-mails) to those customers who have agreed to receive such offers. These third parties will only have access to information to the extent necessary and will be required to not use any personal information for any other purpose. We may share non-personal, non-individual statistical information with our marketing partners, advertisers or other third parties for research purposes. This means we may share with a third party how many customers purchased a specific product, but not whether an individual purchased any particular product.

Security Policy

We use state-of-the-art Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your personal information. The only time you are required to sign on our site is when you are making a purchase. On the Checkout page, you will be asked to access your existing account or create a new one. Existing account holders are prompted for their ID (your email address) and password. This password is for your protection. If you don't have your password, there is a link that reads "Lost your password?" Click on this for instructions on how to get your password.

We will notify all customers and account holders of material policy changes via email as they arise. These changes will be found on this page.
