COLLECTION & TRACKING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may ask you to provide information in order to provide specific services to you. (Such as becoming a part of a newsletter or ordering a product.) Information you provide will be used only for the specific purpose for which it was collected. Our web server will automatically collect information such as your Internet Protocol, (IP) address, browser type, domain name, time you access our page(s) and if available, the web page which is the referring page. This information is used only for web site usage analysis. No attempt is made to tie this anonymous information back to any personally identifiable information.

WHAT WE DO WITH COLLECTED INFORMATION

We use personal information to fulfill product orders or provide requested services. If any services involve ongoing customer contact, customers may choose to opt-out of participating in ongoing programs. Non-personally identifiable information such as page usage logs are used to administer our online products, troubleshoot any problems and look at usage to see what parts of our online products are popular and may warrant more treatment.

Information collected by this site is not shared with any partners or services beyond those necessary to fulfill orders. If such relationships are formed in the future, no personally identifiable information about you will be given out without your permission. Any reports which may be produced for any partners will not contain personally identifiable information. The exception to this is where a partner company must fulfill on product delivery commitments. All relationships will be only with reputable vendors and will be accompanied by contractual agreements requiring safeguarding of customer information.

We do reserve the right to use or disclose information without notice or consent if law should require it. Similarly, we will use available information to conduct investigations into customer complaints or possible illegal activities as necessary to protect our site and property.

This site does have relationships with other sites in that other online shopping sites may sell and distribute our products. In cases where you choose to use such sites or order our products from these sites, we encourage you to seek out these sites' privacy policies. We make every effort to only do business with and distribute our products to reputable companies. However, other companies may nonetheless have privacy policies with provisions you personally consider unacceptable.
