Our Commitment to Privacy 

We respect the privacy of your information.  We provide this explanation about our on line information practices as a show of our commitment to protect your privacy. We do not sell or rent personally-identifying information collected during your use of our website without your permission. 

The Information We Collect 

At the time you

• register on our site,
• make a purchase request, or
• send us a communication,

we collect and store such information as you may provide, which (depending on the circumstances) can include your name, address, credit card numbers and other personally-identifying information.  We need this information to

• provide any goods and services that you request, and to authorize our retail partners and service providers to provide any goods and services that you request,
• let you know of additional goods and services about which you might be interested, and
• respond to your request.

We also use this information to customize your experience using our website. 

We may also ask you for personally-identifying information at other times, such as if you enter into a promotion, post a classified ad, communicate with us, or complete a survey.  If you opt-in to receive information regarding a promotion, you give us your permission to share your name and E-mail address with the third party offering the promotion. 

In addition, we automatically gather general statistical information about our website and visitors, such as IP addresses, browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services purchased, etc., but in doing so we do not reference you by individual name, E-mail address, home address, or telephone number.  We use this information in the aggregate to determine how much our customers use parts of our site so we can improve our site.  We may provide this statistical information to third parties, but when we do so we do not provide personally-identifying information without your permission.  

As part of our service, we use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you.   Some features of our site may be available only through the use of a cookie.  A cookie is a small amount of information that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive.  Generally, we use cookies to

• remind us who you are and enable us to access your account information so you do not have to re-enter it;
• gather statistical information about usage by registered or unregistered users, research visiting patterns, and help target advertisements based on user interests;
• assist our retail partners in tracking visits and processing orders;
• track progress and participation in promotions.

In some instances, our retail partners and advertisers appearing at our site may use their own cookies.  Preference and options configurations in your browser determine if and how a cookie will be accepted.  You can change those configurations on your computer if you desire.  By changing your preferences, you can choose

• to accept all cookies automatically,
• to be notified when a cookie is set,
• to reject all cookies automatically.

If you reject all cookies automatically and cookies are disabled, you may be required to re-enter your information more often and certain features of our site may be unavailable. 

If you obtain goods or services provided by one of our retail partners or service providers, we may exchange with the vendor personally-identified information about you for purposes of your transaction. 

The Way We Use Information 

We use your personally-identifying information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site’s content, layout, and services.   

We may use your information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, new services and promotions.  You can opt out of receiving this information by so indicating whenever you register as a user on our website, whenever you register for a service or promotion on our website, and at any time after registration by updating your user profile. We may ask you to provide us voluntarily with additional information regarding your personal or business interests, experience or requests which we may use to customize our service for you. 

We use your E-mail address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings and communications relevant to your use of the site.  We will not send you promotions or announcements unless you give us permission to do so.  You can opt out of receiving such contact by so indicating whenever you register as a user on our website, whenever you register for a service or promotion on our website, and at any time after registration by updating your user profile. 

If you place a request for products or services, we use information to ship your order; if the products or services are from a retail partner, we may provide your relevant information to that retailer for purposes of the transaction.  If you establish a credit account with us or our providers, we collect additional information, including billing information, credit card number and expiration date, and tracking information from checks or money orders. 

We may also use or disclose information to resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our Terms and Conditions.  At times, we may review status or activity of multiple users to do so.  We may disclose or access information whenever we believe in good faith that the law so requires or if we otherwise consider it necessary to do so to maintain service and improve our products and services. 

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to manage our website and to enhance our site based on the usage pattern information we receive. 

Security 

We employ reasonable and current security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain information accuracy, and ensure correct use of information.  

Your account information and profile are password-protected.  We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.  Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited E-mail.  Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your session.  This is to help ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place where others may have access to it.  

Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on line – for example on message boards, through E-mail or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others.  

No information transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure.  As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. 

How You Can Update, Correct or Delete Your Information 

You can access the information that we collect on line and maintain through normal updating methods.   

To update, correct or delete this information on your email account, log into your account, and then click the link for "Change User Information." Make any changes or deletions and then click the "Save" button.  Your account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will result in your not being able to access the some services.  

Children Under 13 

We have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our website, and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages.  Our services are not specifically directed to children.  If a child has provided us with personally-identifying information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information and opt out of promotional opportunities. 

Third Party Practices 

The Privacy Policy of an advertiser or promotional service appearing at our site may differ from ours.  We encourage you to read that policy before responding to the offer. 

Changes to Our Policy 

Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be communicated through our website at least fifteen days in advance of its effective date.  Information collected before changes are made will be secured according to the previous Privacy Policy. 

Your Consent 

By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of this information in the manner we describe. You can log into "Personal Information" on your community, at anytime to update your information and preferences.
