- Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance your experience and gather
information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the "Do
we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies and how we use
them.
How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you register, purchase
products, enter a contest or promotion, respond to a survey or
marketing communication,
surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:
- To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of

please refer to the "How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have
provided to us?" section below. If you have not opted-in to receive e-mail
newsletters, you will not receive these e-mails. Visitors who register or
participate in other site features such as marketing programs and 'members-only'
content will be given a choice whether they would like to be on our e-mail list
and receive e-mail communications from us.
How do we protect visitor
information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured
networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special
access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information
confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we
offer the use of a
secure server.
All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated
above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to
your
computer's hard drive
through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service
provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain
information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the
items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your
preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to
provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile
aggregate data about site
traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and
tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better
understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to
use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and
improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent,
or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser
(like
Netscape Navigator or
Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your
browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn
cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site
experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer
service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally
identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice.
It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist
us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long
as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also
release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with
the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property,
or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to
other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to
us?
To modify your e-mail subscriptions, please let us know by modifying your
preferences in the "My Account" section. Please note that due to email
production schedules you may receive any emails already in production.
To delete all of your online account information from our database, sign into
the "My Account" section of our site and remove your shipping addresses, billing

about an individual sales transaction in order to service that transaction and
for record keeping.
