Privacy Policy
Transaction
Security
We electronically verify each
transaction with the credit company, processing only those orders if the credit
company so authorizes it. In the case of a suspicious or declined transaction,
our company may contact you to confirm the validity and ensure your identity or
cancel that order with full notification.
We work to protect the
security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software, which encrypts information you input at the checkout of our
store. This is often symbolized on most web-browsers by a small padlock
appearing on the bottom bar of the window and the address of the window
changing from http:// to https://, meaning a secure connection. In the event
that an order cannot be completed, please contact our Customer Service. If our
website cannot establish a secure connection, we will not risk your
confidential information (it will not be transmitted).
Information
you give us
We receive and store any
information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. We use the
information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests,
customizing future shopping suggestions, improving our store, and fulfilling
your order.
*Emails: Email addresses we
receive are used to contact you concerning inquiries before, during and after
your order is placed, solely concerning your order. An exception to this is our
Newsletters (more information below).
Automatic
information
We receive and store certain
types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web
sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information
when your web browser accesses our web site. A number of companies offer
utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot
recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers
that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to
enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as
the storage of items in your Shopping Cart. The "help" portion of the
toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from
accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a
new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you disable
cookies, you will not be able to purchase from the web site. We recommend that
you leave them turned on to have your order placed.
Do
Not Track Information
This web site automatically
collects key information from your browser session to provide a customized
shopping experience. Without certain tracking code enabled, much of the
functionality of the site, including but not limited to product
recommendations, would cease to function. As such, we do not currently honor
the do not track feature of your browser, as this would adversely affect the
shopping experience.
Emails
and newsletters
Because we value your right to
privacy, we do not sell or otherwise share your contact information to
unrelated third parties. We use email as one of the primary methods of
communicating with our customers. The emails we send may be related to a
variety of issues, including:
A direct response to an
inquiry,
Communication concerning an
order (receipt, shipping confirmation, etc), or emails on products, services or
promotions
From time to time, we may
notify you of special offers based on your purchasing history with us. If you
receive our promotional emails and wish to unsubscribe, you'll find
easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions in each promotional email.
Sharing
information
Information about our
customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business
of selling it to others.
What
About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?
Our site includes
third-party advertising and links to other Web sites. Infomation about your
browsing behaviour may be collected and used to provide more relevant ads to

action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies (collectively,
“cookies”). Cookies enable us to learn about what ads you see, what ads you
click, and other actions you take on our sites and other sites. This allows us
to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, if we know what
ads you are shown we can be careful not to show you the same ones repeatedly. We
do not associate your interaction with unaffiliated sites with your identity in
providing you with interest-based ads.
