How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you register,
purchase products, enter a contest or promotion, respond to a survey or marketing
communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following
ways:
- To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver

service requests.

who register or participate in other site features such as marketing programs
and 'members-only' content will be given a choice whether they would like
to be on our e-mail list and receive e-mail communications from us.
How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the
safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind
secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have
special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information
confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer
the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted
via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases
to be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider
transfers to your computer's hard dritve through your Web browser (if you allow)
that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser
and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to
help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used
to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to
help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that
we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding
our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information
collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent,
or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different,
so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your
site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer
service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside
parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties
your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice,
except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include $(CompanyNameLegal).
It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist
us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long
as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release
your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other
parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you
have provided to us?
