What will we do with this information?

We use your personal information in order to provide you with the products and services that we offer through our normal business operations.

For instance, if you make purchases from our web site, we need your personal information in order to arrange for payment and delivery. We may need to share your information with a shipping company or other third party who will assist us in completing your order. If you are requesting information or assistance about products or services, we will need your contact information in order to provide a response.

Periodically, we may wish to notify you about special offers or new products we think you will find valuable, or about important changes to our web site. As a valued customer, you will always have the option to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.

Also, we may need to share personal information with law enforcement agencies assisting us with fraud or criminal investigations.

Do we sell your information to others?

No. We won't sell, rent, or give away your personal information to other businesses or entities (except as noted above for law enforcement or delivery purposes).

How do we protect this information?

The personal information you give us is protected by a secured database that is only available to individuals with the proper clearance.

To protect your data while it is transmitted from your computer to our servers, we utilize SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption so that it cannot be intercepted by a third party.

In our business operations, we train our employees with strict standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’ personal information.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small amounts of data that your web browser will store on your computer's hard disk. A cookie helps the browser remember information about the pages you have visited. This can help simplify subsequent interactions with the same web site by the same user, and can personalize a user's online experience.

Cookies can be used for short-term memory - such as remembering which items are in your shopping basket. They can also be used for longer term storage - such as remembering the last time you visited a site.

It is possible to disable cookies in your browser settings. If you do that, you will still be able to view this web site, but you will be unable to make purchases or create an account.

What is SSL?

SLL stands for "Secure Socket Layer". It is a standard protocol for encrypting network traffic. It basically ensures that nobody between your computer and our server can see the data you are sending to us.

How secure is online shopping?

Believe it or not, online shopping is actually more secure than shopping in a mall. When you purchase through a site secured with SSL, your credit card data is safely transmitted directly to another computer (our server). From there, it is processed in "batch" fashion, meaning it is quite possible that no human eyes will even see your credit card information! Compare that to paying in person where you hand your credit card to someone you don't even know...

How secure is email?

It's NOT!!! Please, NEVER send confidential data (such as your social security number, credit card info, or passwords) through an email!
