How Company Uses Personally Identifiable Information
We may disclose a consumer's personally identifiable information in
order to effect or carry out any transaction that you have requested of
us or as necessary to complete our contractual obligations with you.
The personal information collected on this site and by third parties
will be used to operate the site and to provide the services or products
or carry out the transactions you have requested or authorized.
We Reserve The Right To, Share, Sell, Rent Or Otherwise
Transfer/Disclose Your Personal Information To Third Parties For Any
Purpose In Our Sole Discretion In Accordance With Applicable Laws. We
prohibit the sale or transfer of personal information to non-affiliated
entities for their use without giving you the opportunity to opt-out. We
may share your personally identifiable information with affiliated
companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common
control of Company. We may send personally identifiable information
about you to non-affiliated companies that are not directly or
indirectly controlled by, or under common control of, Company.
We may use this personally identifiable information for auditing,
research and analysis to operate and improve Company's technologies and
services. We may change or broaden the use of your personal information
at any time. We may use your personal information to provide customized
content, promotional offers to individuals by means of email
advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, banner
advertising, and other possible uses.
Company may also share aggregated information that does not identify
you, the consumer, with outside companies. "Aggregated Information"
refers to information the Company gathers by aggregating non-personally
identifiable information to provide summaries of use of the website. The
aggregated information is used to show usage patterns and to do such
things as negotiate with vendors of internet services. Such Information
is not linked to the consumer's personal information.
Your Choices/Opt-out
We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, whenever
reasonably possible. We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of
having your personally identifiable information used for certain
purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase
a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing
material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse
cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may
not function properly as a result.

communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the
instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing
or calling us per the information contained on our contact page.

Service Providers
We require the use of outside companies, other third parties, to provide
certain services including clerical and information processing and
shipping services. When you sign up for our services, we will share
only as much information as is necessary for the provision of those
services. We require that all third parties, hired by Company, to
comply with our Privacy Policy in order to keep your information safe
and secure.
These third parties are prohibited from using or sharing your
personally identifiable information for any purpose other than the job
they were hired to do or in compliance with their own privacy
requirements once you become a customer of theirs.
Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information
The security of your personal information is extremely important to
us. We employ generally accepted industry standards to protect the
personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once
we receive it. We maintain physical safeguards, such as secure areas in
buildings; electronic safeguards, such as passwords and encryption; and
procedural safeguards, such as customer authentication procedures to
prevent ID theft. Company processes personal information on servers in
the United States and in other countries. Access to information about
you is restricted to authorized employees obtaining the information for
business purposes.
Our site uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security technology to
encrypt information you provide to us through the site when entering
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number) on our registration or order forms. This ensures that your
information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. SSL is an
industry-standard protocol for encryption over the internet.
After information reaches Company, it is stored on a secure server
that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from
outside of Company. You can help to maintain the security of your
online transactions by not sharing your personal information or password
with anyone. Remember, no method of transmission over the Internet, or
method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. (Example: any
information you provide us by email is not encrypted) Therefore, while
we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about the security on our Website, please feel free to e-mail us.
Log Files
As is true of most Websites, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp,
and click stream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to
analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements
around the site and to gather demographic information about our user
base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to
personally identifiable information.
Cookies
We use cookies and other technologies on this site to enhance your
online experience and to learn about how you use our services in order
to improve the quality of the services we offer.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for
record-keeping purposes. We do not link the information we store in
cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on
our site.
We use session ID cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier
for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close
you browser. We can at your option set a persistent cookie to store
your passwords, so you don't have to enter it more than once. Persistent
cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users
to enhance the experience on our site.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability
to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our
site. We have no access to or control over these cookies.
This Privacy Policy covers the use of our cookies only and does not
cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or third parties.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web
Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by
informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics
with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used
to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies,
which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are
embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at
the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by
clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which
emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the
effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our
marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails,
please see "Choice and Opt-out."

respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site
and to read the applicable privacy policies and terms of conditions of
each and every Website that collects personally identifiable
information.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by this Website.
Co-branded sites

corporate group. We may share information about customers and former
customers with these co-branded / corporate group companies. These

linked to our site are governed by their own privacy policies which may
or may not reach the standards set by Company.
