Information Collection
- General Data Collection: We collect information such as IP addresses and device data to diagnose server issues and administer the site. Cookies are used to enhance user experience, manage shopping cart contents, and track referrals. The domain name and IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, what brought you to our Website, as well as which of our Web pages you have accessed.
- Forms and Communications: When you submit information through forms to inquire about our services or products, we collect personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and postal address. This information is used to respond to your requests and may be used for future communications. We advise not sending sensitive or confidential information through internet forms as they may not be secure.
- Third-party Services: Information collected via third-party services is governed by their respective privacy policies. We use this information to process inquiries and improve our services.
- Use of Information: We use the information collected to provide and enhance our services, develop new offerings, and maintain site security. Personal information is not sold or traded without your consent, except to trusted partners who assist in operating our website under strict confidentiality agreements. We may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.
- Choice/Opt-Out: You have the option to opt out of receiving future communications from us. You may also request to access or delete any personal information we hold about you. Please contact us using the information provided below to initiate these requests.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
If we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Cookies
We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.
Sharing
We will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our company
- Protect and defend the rights or property of our Website and related properties
- Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our Website or its related properties
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example through e-mail, discussion boards, or elsewhere – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, 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 personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

From time-to-time our site may request information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
