Our Use of Cookies

Many Web sites now use "cookies" to provide useful features to their visitors by providing customizable and personalized services.

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. For example, a Web site may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you, your preferences, or the pages you last visited. Your browser software can be set to reject all cookies, or to ask you if you would like to accept or decline a cookie from a particular site before it is set. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the Help section of the toolbar.

You should know, however, that if you reject a cookie, certain functions and conveniences of a site may not work properly. We use cookies on our Web site for the following purposes:

Store and sometimes track visitor preferences
Record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart
Record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit
Alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our site
To record past activity at a site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our site
Customize web page content on visitors browser type or other information that the visitor sends
We will never link the cookie to your personal information

Some Web sites require you to provide some personal information through a registration process in order to take advantage of certain Web site features and to access content areas. For example, a registration form might request your name, telephone number and e-mail address. Visitors can use this entire Web site anonymously, without registration.

Our Children's Privacy Policy

We are especially concerned about protecting children's privacy. We hope parents and teachers are involved in children's Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information on line. Our site does not feature information and services of interest to children 13 and under.

Security of Communications

We recognize that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorized individuals to intercept any email message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is intercepted during communication. Certain technology and practices allow Web sites to provide an increased level of security for your personal information when appropriate.

We use the following practices on our Web site to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information:

We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site (We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, or translates, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately. In addition, we employ an outside company (SecurLook) to "audit" our security and make sure it is trustworthy).
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide.
We use e-mail forms to allow our customers to ask questions about our services and programs. These are not hosted on a secure server. The possibility exists that unauthorized individuals may intercept email messages.
We are not responsible for the privacy of e-mailmessages except those stored in our system.
We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site

E-Commerce and Online Shopping

Purchasing items over the Internet usually requires you to provide your personal identifying information and credit card information on a Web site. Many people have become accustomed to on-line commerce as a timesaving and useful convenience. There are a number of practices that can make providing your sensitive credit card information more secure and therefore make you feel more comfortable about doing so.

We do process credit card payments for merchandise or services on our Web site. We have the following e-commerce practices:

When processing your credit card payment, we will ask for the card type, number, expiration date, and your card's billing address.
We will transmit credit card numbers in an encrypted format using industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
We will keep this information in the strictest confidence and will make every effort to maintain the privacy and security of the information at all times.

Advertising Servers

On-line advertising, such as banner ads, has become commonplace on many Web sites. Certain Web sites have developed relationships with third-party advertising servers to display these advertisements on their sites. By clicking on one of these banner ads, you will be taken to another site with different privacy policies. These third party ad servers may also use cookies to collect non-personal information on your preferences and interests via the advertisement you decide to view. At this time, we do not partner with or have special relationships with any advertising server companies.

Links to Other Sites

Web sites often provide a number of links that offer direct access to other useful or interesting web sites holding potential value to site visitors. Inclusion of the other sites by links does not imply any endorsement of the material or information on the other sites. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policy of each linked site before sharing personal information. This site includes links to non-affiliated external Web sites.

We have the following practices:

We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each linked site, as we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.

Changes in Our Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice.

If our information practices change at some time in the future, we have the following practices:

We will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our Web site periodically.
