2. Website Use Information
Our website utilizes a standard technology called "cookies"
(see explanation below, "What are cookies?") and web server
logs to collect information about how our website is used.
Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include
the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
website, and the websites visited just before and just after our
website. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of
this information is associated with you as an individual.
How do we use the information that you provide to us?
We use personal information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you of important changes to our website, new services and
special offers we think you will find valuable. If you would like to
request to be removed from our notifications and/or mailings, please
contact us
What are cookies?
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web
servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies
are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on
the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user
accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with
that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline
the user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier
for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete
commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your
online experience easier and more personalized.
How do we use information we collect from cookies?
We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web
server logs to gather information about our website users' browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our website and better
serve our customers. This information assists us to design and
arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to
continually improve our website to better meet the needs of our
customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths
followed by users to our website as they move from one page to
another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our
website and evaluate our website's visitor capacity. We do not use
these technologies to capture your individual email address or any
personally identifying information about you.
Sharing information with affiliates
Occasionally we may make our mail list available to other quality
mail order companies. We take measures to select product or service
providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to
their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about
the practices and policies of these companies. If you do not wish to
receive other mailings or do not want to receive our mailings, please
contact us.
How do we secure information transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us
on our website, a secure server software which we have licensed
encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The
information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our
website.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your
transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not
send confidential information such as Social Security or account
numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How do we protect your information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption/security software to
safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from
unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or
destruction.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values,
ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the
protection of customer information. In general, our business
practices limit employee access to confidential information, and
limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it
or for the protection of our legal rights.
What about other websites linked to our website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites
linked to our website nor the information or content contained
therein.
