Do we share your information with other parties?
Your personally identifiable information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other party or company for any reason whatsoever without your consent, except for the purpose of delivering the product or service you requested. Also, we may share your personal information with third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you on the condition that those parties agree to keep the information confidential. We also may disclose your personal information to comply with the law, to enforce our website policies, and to protect the rights, property or safety of any party. Non-personally identifiable information may be shared with other parties for marketing, advertising, and other business uses.
How do we protect your information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.
Our third-party payment services provider offers the use of a secure server. All credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then stored in encrypted form, where it is accessible only by authorized persons and is kept confidential. After a transaction, your information may be maintained by the third-party provider in order to facilitate any future transactions.
Do we use cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow such transfers). Our cookies enable our website to recognize you when you return to our website, to remember and process the items in your shopping cart, to understand and save your preferences for future visits, and for advertising purposes. They also are used to compile non-personally-identifiable aggregate data about website traffic and website interactions so that we can improve your experience on our website. We share such aggregate data with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors, although such providers are permitted to use the data only to help us conduct and improve our business.
If you prefer, you can set your browser settings to warn you whenever a cookie is being transferred, or to block the transfer of cookies altogether. As with most websites, if you block the transfer of cookies, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone.

Those third-party websites have their own separate privacy policies that govern your use of their websites. We are not responsible for your use of those third-party websites. We do, however, welcome any feedback you wish to provide us about those websites.
