Privacy Policy
Overview
The privacy and security of your personal information is something we take
very seriously, and we want you to be aware of how we collect and handle that
information on our site.
We collect personal information such as name, address, and e-mail address,
when you knowingly provide it to us. Our Web servers automatically collect
statistical information about your visit such as pages visited and which
browsers are used to visit our site. None of this information is associated with
you as an individual (see information about cookies). We
use these statistics to monitor our site's performance, integrity and security,
and to enhance the ease of use and convenience of our Web site.
Personal Information
When you supply information for a specific purpose, such as online ordering,
we use the information for that purpose. When you use our Web site to order
products, we may use this individually identifiable information as we would if
obtained in a non-electronic fashion.
If the way we use personally identifiable information changes, we will post
those changes online and-as always-give you the opportunity to remove
yourself from our database.
Online Registration
You will be able to choose if your contact information is used to send you
company and product information, special offers, and in some cases, newsletters.
In order to improve your experience with us, we may decide to improve our
site's ability to obtain information about users. We will update this privacy
statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area.
Opt-Out
Although, various laws and standards of practice require us to maintain
records, at any time, you can have yourself removed from our online database.
Non-Disclosure
We do not sell or disclose individually identifiable information obtained
online about our visitors to outside organizations. The only exceptions to this
rule are the following:
- With a partner, if necessary to fill your order.
- If you specifically authorize us to share your information with another company
- If it is required by law
- If disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees, or property
If you register with one of our partner web sites, you may be providing the
individually identifiable information to the partner. Review the privacy
statement at the individual Web site to learn how they use this information. Be
assured that we use this information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Web Site Links
Our site may contain links to other Web sites. Additionally, other sites may
choose to link to us. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy
practices employed by other sites.
Non-personally Identifiable Information
We use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable
information in order to enhance your online experience as follows:
- Store product and quantity information in our shopping card to enable us to fill your order.
- Track return visits in order to present the customer with a friendly and personalized atmosphere.
- Recall information in order to reduce repeat entry of certain fields.
- Offer products tailored to the customer's interests.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personal information you voluntarily supply when obtaining information or
purchasing products is not shared for use outside this organization or its
partners. It may, however, be necessary to share your personally
identifiable information with one or more of our partner web sites as a matter
of fulfilling and following up on your order. Should any changes be made in the
way we use personally identifiable information, we will post those changes in
our privacy policy online and give you the opportunity to choose to opt out of
such use.
Minors
You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this site.
Our policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally
Identifiable Information about visitors under 18 years of age. If you are the
parent or guardian of a minor under 18 years of age and believe that they have
disclosed personally identifiable information to us, please contact us so that
we may delete the minor's information.
E-Mail
At times, we may utilize e-mail for any of these reasons:
- To conduct online surveys
- To respond to a site visitor's e-mail
- To confirm orders placed online
- To send information that a visitor has requested
- To use opt-in e-mail lists from third parties occasionally to promote our latest specials
In all of these situations, we will provide you with directions on how to opt
out of future e-mails of this nature.
Security
We are committed to protecting the information you give us. Any information
that you give us is protected by a password. Your information is stored in
password-protected, limited-access servers.
