collect contact information (such as e-mail address), financial information
(such as account or credit card numbers), unique identifiers (such as social
security number), and demographic information (such as zip code, age, or income
level). Contact information from the order forms is used to ship purchases,
information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used
to get in touch with the visitor when necessary.
Users may opt-out of
receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial
information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and
services. Unique identifiers (such as social security numbers) are collected
from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account
numbers in our record system.

visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the
choice/opt-out section below.

(Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personal information while on our

We use
non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to
share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of
individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z
number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose any
information that could be used to identify those individuals.
Our
Commitment To Data Security To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the information we collect online.
Our Commitment To
Children's Privacy Protecting the privacy of the very young is
especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information
at our website from those we actually know are under the age of 13, and no part
of our website is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13.
