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,or phone
number. 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 may use "cookies". Cookies
are small programs 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.
- Third Parties. Advertisements
you may see on our side are served by other companies. Third
parties may be placing and reading cookies on users' browsers,
or using web beacons to collect information as
a result of ad serving on this website.
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.
-
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
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.
