Above all, we want to make it clear that we only ask for information that is strictly relevant for delivering the service that you ask us to deliver.

We also collect information from you when you register on the site, place an order, enter a contest or sweepstakes, respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate in another site feature. When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the "Do we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies and how we use them.

Visitors to our website

When someone visits our website we collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the website. We collect this information in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. We use Google Analytics to help analyse use of our website. This analytical tool uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. We will not (and will not allow any third party) to use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any personally identifiable information of visitors to our site. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source as part of our use of the Google statistic analytics tool. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

Do we use "cookies"?

Indeed. If you agree, a website or its service provider may place little files called cookies on your computer's hard drive. These files help the website's or service provider's systems identify your browser and store and retrieve specific data. For example, cookies enable us to save and manage the products in your shopping cart. In order to give you better services, they are also utilised to assist us in understanding your preferences based on past or present site activity. In order to provide users with improved site experiences and tools in the future, we also utilise cookies to help us gather aggregate data about site traffic and site participation.

In order to help us better understand our site visitors, we might enter into contracts with outside service providers. The information gathered on our behalf may only be used by these service providers to support and enhance our business operations. You have the option to disable all cookies or to have your computer notify you each time one is sent. You access the settings of your browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) to accomplish this.

Because every browser is a little bit different, check the Help menu to find out how to change your cookies in the right way. Some of our services won't work properly and you won't be able to use numerous features that improve the efficiency of your site experience if you disable cookies. However, by calling customer service, you can still place orders over the phone.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

 With the exception for drop shipping orders, we never sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties without first giving you notice.
Furthermore, we don't keep credit card information on file or divulge financial information to outside parties. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
