Version 1.0
Last Updated: January 21, 2004

We have created this statement to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. We also are committed to providing you with the very best experience we can on our web site. To enhance your experience at our web site, we gather certain personal information about you that helps us customize our content to your tastes and preferences. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our web site.

What information do we collect?

We collect information in several ways from different parts of our web site.

We may ask and collect personal information when its is submitted to us via registration or order forms, and at other times including (but not limited to) when you e-mail us with questions or feedback.

We ask and collect personally identifiable information, including your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number when you register or place an order. Providing your phone number is optional but doing so will assist us with internal marketing optimization. When you make an order, we will ask and collect credit card and/or debit card information from you. We also collect your name and e-mail address when you e-mail us with questions or feedback. You may opt out of receiving future promotional material or newsletters; see the choice/opt out section below. We will not sell personally identifiable information to third parties, unless stated at the time of collection

In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet Browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, the web pages you accessed, and the domain name of the web site and/or Internet Service Provider from which you linked to our web site. Similar to personally identifiable information, we will not sell non-personally-identifiable information to third parties, unless stated at the time of collection. We may share non-personally identifiable information with business partners.

Use of IP Addresses

An IP address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned by your Internet Service Provider whenever you log in to access the Internet, or by a server on your company's LAN or WAN. Web servers automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session.

We may collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information, and to audit the use of our web site. We do not ordinarily link a user's IP address to anything personally identifiable to that user, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. However, we can and will use IP addresses to identify users of our web site when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our web site's Conditions of Use, or to protect our service, web site, or other users.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to optimize and administer our web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you, your shopping cart, and to gather broad demographic information.

Like most web sites, we make use of browser "cookies." Cookies are files written to a user's hard disk and read by server programs to inform a web site if the user has previously visited that web site or if the user is traversing through multiple web pages on a web site. We use cookies to continually enhance your experience, and may use them in the future to store customer preferences and choices.

Sharing of Information

Except as otherwise provided hereunder, we will not share, transfer, or release any personally identifiable information with third parties without your prior consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your consent shall not be required for an assignment or transfer of personally identifiable information made by (i) operation of law or (ii) to an entity that acquires substantially all of our stock, assets or business.

Other Web sites

This web site contains links to other web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites, and urge you to review their individual privacy policies.

Children

Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. We do not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties, nor do we sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, we will not send any direct e-mail offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. Thus, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

Public Forums

This website may make chat rooms, forums, discussion/message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Limits on our Abilities

Unfortunately, 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 ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. We may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. If we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
