We collect customer information in an effort to improve your
shopping experience and to communicate with you about our
products, services, contests, and promotions. We recognize that
it must maintain and use customer information responsibly. We do
not sell or rent the information you provide to us online to
third parties.
If our information practices change in the future, we will
let you know by posting the policy changes on our Web site. You
will have the opportunity at that time to opt out of any new use
of your information.
We collect information (such as your name, e-mail address,
mailing address, and phone and credit card numbers) that you
provide when you place an order, register with us or participate
in a contest, promotion or survey. We also maintain a record of
your product interests and your purchases online.
When you make a purchase from us, we use your information to
process your order. We will also send you e-mails to confirm
your order, and we may need to contact you via phone, postal
mail or e-mail if we have other questions regarding your order.
When you register with us or participate in a contest or
promotion you may choose to receive e-mails from us regarding
our products, services, contests, and promotions. From time to
time, we may also send you e-mails to help us learn more about
your shopping preferences. In addition, we may use information
about your product interests and purchases to help us improve
our site design and your shopping experience.
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from
us. If you prefer not to receive information from us, either
through e-mail, postal mail or by phone, please let us know by
sending us an e-mail.
Please note that such requests may take up to 2 weeks to
become effective. In addition, if you ask us to remove your name
and address from our e-mail or postal mailing lists, we will
maintain your name in a "do not mail" file to ensure that we can
honor your request. Please also note that when you make a
purchase, we will send you e-mails to confirm your order and may
also need to contact you via phone, postal mail or e-mail if we
have other questions regarding your order.
Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior
verifiable parental consent.
If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age of 13
and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we
will remove his or her personally identifiable registration
information from our files.
Please note: we may nevertheless maintain a record of that
person's name and address in a "do not register" file to avoid
subsequent registration by a child under the age of 13.
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites often store on
your computer's hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie
may contain information (such as a unique user ID), that is used
to track the pages of the sites you've visited. We use cookies
but do not store personally identifiable information in your
cookie.
We use cookies in order to improve your shopping experience.
When you visit our site, your cookie helps us keep track of your
order as you shop at our site. If you are a registered customer,
your cookie allows us to recognize you when you return to our
site and provides you with access to your account information.
If you register with or order from us, we also use cookies to
monitor and maintain information about your use of our site. If
you have not registered with or ordered from us, we may monitor
and maintain information about your use of our Web site in a
manner that does not identify you. In either case, this
information helps us serve you better by improving our site
design, as well as our products, services, contests, and
promotions.
We also use cookies to track and maintain the identity of the
Web site you visited immediately prior to ours to further
improve our site design and to fulfill contracts with our
business partners. We do not otherwise track any information
about your use of other Web sites.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.
If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to track
your order or enable you to make a purchase from our site. Nor
will we be able to recognize you as a registered user to allow
you access to your account information.
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We
use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the
security of your online order information.
To check the security of your connection, look at the lower
left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the
server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending
on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure.
You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your
browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of
the site address will change from "http" to "https."
Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit
communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be
able to connect to the server and therefore won't be able to
place an order through an insecure connection. If you cannot
access the secure server for any reason, please print our order
form and place your order by phone.
