COOKIES
We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners may also use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies. We do not honor the Do Not Track (DNT) web browser privacy preference at this time.
2. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We will use your information to monitor and improve our services. For example, we use Google Analytics to help analyze how our users utilize this website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the website, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique member the next time you visit the website the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
We will use your personal information to respond to you regarding inquires from you. Normally this will involve informing you about products and services we offer. We may share your personal information with third party providers outside of our organization, if necessary, to fulfill your request (e.g. to ship an order) or to facilitate our organization in managing our website.
Unless you opt out of our mailing list, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, or new products or services.
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. We may use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order. We may partner with another party to provide specific services. We will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
3. HOW WE PROTECT THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
SECURITY
We are committed to protecting the security of your information. We employ reasonable security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, including reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure (password and firewall-protected) servers. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We may therefore disclose personal information, usage data and any other information about you, if we deem that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a subpoena or court order) or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce a contract, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our website, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
