Information Collection and
Use
Our company is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others. We collect
information from our users at several different points on our website.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL,
follow this link http://www.verisign.com/site/ssl.html. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in
our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any
time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment. If you
have any questions about the security at our website you can send an email to
us. Return to Top
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must
provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user. Return to Top
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take
place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our site. Return to Top
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Return to Top
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). 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. Return to Top
Special
Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, special
deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice
and opt-out below. Return to Top
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email
or phone. Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so
users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive
our newsletter or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving these
communications by sending an email to us with "unsubscribe" in the subject
line . Return to Top
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected. Return to
