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 pieces of data 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
