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, phone number or credit card. 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 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.
- Internal advertising
systems. Systems that may be used internally to
display advertising material such as banners or text ads may collect data on
ads displayed and other related information. No personally
identifiable information is collected by our internal systems, although
collected data may still be enough to identify your computer, network
connection, and other information. All of this information is provided
by your browser as you enter the site, and can be suppressed by various
means. Please contact your ISP or check your web browser HELP section
for information on how to limit the information broadcast by your browser.
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, or even visit and shop anonymously.
- 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 work to protect the
security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
- We use encryption to protect
your information contained in our customer list.
- 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.
4. Your

is your choice whether to receive emails or special offers from us or others.
The following section provides you with this choice. Please
