COLLECTING
INFORMATION In general, you can visit many of our web pages without
revealing any personal information about yourself. We may, however, track your
Internet domain address and your use of this website, and analyze this data for
trends and statistics. We may also maintain a record of your online product
purchases. At times (e.g., when you purchase a product, register an account and
password) we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself,
including your name, address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address
and credit card information, etc. Whether or not you provide such information is
completely your own choice. But if you choose not to provide such information,
you may be unable to use this website or purchase products.
USING
INFORMATION We use the personal information you provide for
internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, credit card fraud
prevention activities, analyzing trends and statistics, and, upon your
request, informing you of new products and providing you with information
from and about us. We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain
services including credit card processing, shipping, data management and other
services. We provide such companies or persons with the information needed for
them to perform these services, which may include your personal information. In
certain instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when
we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to us,
our suppliers, or our service providers. We may also disclose your personally
identifiable information when we believe the laws require it.

MINORS Our website is a general audience website. We do not knowingly accept
personal information from any child under 18 years of age. If we are notified
that a child has registered an account and password with us, we will remove the
information associated with that account and password. We urge parents and
guardians to participate in their children's online activities and supervise
children's access to the web.
COOKIES Our website uses "cookies." A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent
to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products and

SECURITY
We use SSL encryption and security tools to protect the
security of your personal information that you share with us. However, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot assure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and
you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use
reasonable efforts to protect its security on our systems. We urge you to keep
your account and password in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also
remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have
finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account,
especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a
computer in a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
