Information
Collection and Use
We are the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others.
We collect information from our users at several different points on our website.
Order
We request information
from the user on our forms. Here a user must provide contact information (like
name and address) some forms may require financial and personal information. This
information is used for the stated purposes and to fill customers request. If
we have trouble processing a customers request, this contact information is used
to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the users hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would
not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our
site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site
Log
Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the
site, track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
Any information that is
shared with other companies to complete the customers request is not retain, share,
stored or used for any secondary purposes by these companies.
Links
Our web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are
not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users
to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each
and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and e-mail address.
Security
All data is protected using the most advanced methods available. We take every
precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information
via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When a form asks users to enter sensitive information, that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked,
or open, when you are just browsing.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their
desk. When they return, they must reenter their password to regain access to your
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added,
our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our customers information is protected. Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a
secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website,
You
can send email to us by visiting our Contact Page Special

Correction/Updating Personal

If a users personally identifiable information changes
(such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor
to provide a way to correct, update or remove that users personal data provided
to us.

Our customers may opt-out of having their information used for purposes not
directly related to purchasing a product from our site. For example, if a user

Notification
of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
