| 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. In addition we must meet high standards
now imposed by credit card companies in order to maintain our ability
to process payments by credit card which limit our ability to store or
access private information. |

Do we use "cookies"? |
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site
or its service provider transfers to your computer's storage area 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. |
