Plain-English Privacy PolicyThe Type of Information We CollectFor each visitor to our Web page, our Web server automatically recognizes and logs the IP address on the inbound connection. We only collect personally identifying information with your specific knowledge and consent. For instance, when you make a purchase, subscribe to our newsletter or register for any portion of our services, you are asked to provide required information, such as your e-mail address, name or phone number. Other optional information such as your age or gender may also be requested on occasion. For sensitive information, such as credit card or other financial information, we will forward you to the secure server operated by our agent (currently PayPal) who will handle the transaction; we will not receive the payment information, only the payment. How we use "cookies"As you probably know, "cookies" are small pieces of information that some Web sites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. We use cookies only when necessary, to track your shopping cart contents or store your personal viewing settings, for example. We do not use these to track your navigation around our site; we only use accesses in the aggregate, not the specific. Where you go, and what you look at, is your business, not ours. How We Use This InformationWe use information collected to provide you with the service you have requested. For example, if you subscribe to one of our Internet mailing lists, we would need your e-mail address to send it to you, or if you purchase from our store, we would need a physical address for shipping. We may also use this information to contact you on occasion with discounts or to inform you of new features, products or services, or to improve the services that we offer by tailoring them to your needs. How We Disseminate This InformationWe will never sell, lease, give, nor loan our users' email addresses or any other personal information collected to any third party. We wouldn't want our information passed around in that fashion, and we know you feel the same. We will provide only the information necessary for third parties to perform contracted duties (the USPS is given your address when we ship purchased items, for example). |
