PRIVACY POLICY
(Last Revised: 11/22/09)
Thank you for visiting this
web site. We understand the importance that Internet users
place on privacy, and this Privacy Policy describes how we use
personal information that is collected at this web site.
Please read this Privacy Policy before using this site or
submitting any personal information. By using this web site,
you accept the privacy practices contained in this Privacy
Policy. These privacy practices may change from time to time,
but any changes will be posted. You are encouraged to review
the Privacy Policy whenever you visit the web site to make
sure you understand how any personal information you provide
will be used.
Information We
Collect
In order to serve our customers, we collect personally
identifiable information, like names, addresses, phone
numbers, email addresses, and sometimes credit card
information when such information is voluntarily submitted by
our visitors. We may use your personal information, transfer
your personal information, and/or sell your personal
information for any legal purpose, including, without
limitation: (1) to deliver the products and/or services to you
that you have requested; (2) to validate your compliance with
the terms and conditions; (3) for content improvement and
feedback purposes; (4) to reach you, when necessary, regarding
your use of the web site or product(s); and (5) to bring
retail opportunities and promotional offers to you by email,
direct mail, telemarketing, and/or online banner advertising.
When your information is provided to third parties, these
third parties may include providers of direct marketing
services and applications. We or these third parties may
supplement the information we collect online with outside
records to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our
content to you, and/or to offer you targeted advertising and
other opportunities to purchase products and services that we
believe may be of interest to you.
We will NEVER share your
credit card information with third parties unless you have
given us explicit permission to do so, such as in order to
fulfill a third party offer that you have accepted from us. By
permitting us to collect this information, you will be able to
receive free information on products and services that may be
of interest to you. You also enable us to personalize your
experience with us so that we can provide you with the highest
quality of service. By submitting your email address on this
web site, you agree to receive email from us and our third
party advertisers. We, and our third party advertisers, may
maintain separate email lists for different purposes. You can
cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any
time by clicking the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option
that is included in the respective email. We only send emails
to people who have authorized us to contact them, either
directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited
commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do.
In addition, you agree that
by submitting your email address on this web site and/or
registering to receive the product and/or service offered
herein, such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry, and/or an
application for the purposes of the Amended Telemarketing
Sales Rule (ATSR), 16 CFR ‘310 et seq. and any applicable
state and local “do not call” regulations. We and our
third party advertisers retain the right to contact you via
telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR and the applicable
state regulations.
Third Party Actions
We do not control and are not liable for the actions of
our third party marketers or advertisers. We pride ourselves
in working with quality companies, but have no control over
the actions of those third parties. While we are not liable
for any of the actions of those third parties, you should feel
free to give us feedback from time to time on your experiences
with any third parties to whom we work with so that we may
enhance our future service to all customers.
Cookies
We may use cookies to deliver content that is specific to your
interests. Cookies are text files that are used by your
computer’s web browser to store your preferences, and enable
us to enhance your user experience with our web site.
IP Addresses
We may use your IP
address to help prevent fraud, to help diagnose problems with
our server, to gather broad demographic information, and to
offer you products and services.
Third Party Web
Sites
This web site and/or the products and/or services offered
herein may direct you to web sites that are owned and/or
controlled by third parties. We have no control over those
third parties and are not responsible for the content or the
privacy practices of those sites or companies.
Commitment to Data
Security
All information collected from you is stored in a technically
and physically secure environment. We use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, and we do everything we
can to protect user information offline. Unfortunately, no
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while we take reasonable measures to
protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the
security of the information that you transmit to us, and you
do so at your own risk.
