How We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing
an order to complete that order. We do not share this information
with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete
that order. We may use your e-mail address to communicate
with you, for example, to notify you of special offers or
programs you might find of interest.
We use return e-mail addresses to answer
the e-mail we receive. We may also use these e-mail addresses
to provide order status and order tracking information, and
to respond to queries.
You can register with our website if you
would like to receive our catalog as well as updates on our
new products and services.
We may use non-identifying and aggregate
information to better design our website and share with our
advertising agencies. For example, we may tell an advertising
agency that X number of individuals visited a certain area
on our website but we would not disclose anything that could
be used to personally identify those individuals.
We will never sell your personal information
to any other company.
In the event of a criminal investigation
or a suspected illegal activity, we may be required by law
enforcement agencies to share certain personal information.
Finally, we never use or share personally
identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated
to the ones described above without also providing you an
opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses.
"Cookies"
"Cookies" are small items of data that some websites
either write to your hard drive upon your visit to their site(s)
or store in the browser. These data files contain information
the site can use to organize the pages you have visited on
a particular website. Some of our websites may use "cookie"
technology to measure site activity and tailor information
to fit your personal interests. In this way, we can deliver
tailor-made information suiting your personal interests upon
your next visit to our site(s). Our use of "cookie"
technology is, thus, to provide you with a more individualized
delivery of information and an optimal viewing experience.
“Pixel Tags”
We may use "pixel tags," which are small graphic
files that allow us to monitor the use of our websites. A
pixel tag can collect information such as the IP (Internet
Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page
on which the tag appears; the URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page
containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that
fetched the pixel tag; and the identification number of any
cookie (please see "Cookies") on the computer previously
placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML
capable e-mail, we may use "format sensing" technology,
which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received
and opened our e-mail.
Our Commitment To Data Security
Because your privacy is important to us, we have installed
safeguards to secure the information we collect online. Our
e-commerce site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
technology supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator/Communicator, and other popular browsers to protect
your online transactions. SSL encrypts the information such
as your name, address, and phone number before it travels
over the Internet. We also use additional technologies and
measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of this information.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important.
For that reason, we never collect or maintain information
at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and
no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under
13.
