Information
Collection and Use
We gather two types of information about the users of
the Site: non-personally identifiable and personally identifiable information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
When visitors come to the Site,
we may collect and aggregate non-personally identifiable information indicating,
among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which they were
visited and which hyperlinks were clicked. Collecting such information involves
the logging of IP addresses, operating system and browser software used by each
visitor to the Site. Although this information is not personally identifiable,
we can determine from the IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and
the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.
The
non-personally identifiable information that we collect helps us, among other
things, to monitor our internal operations, improve our services, identify the
most popular areas of the Site and determine the effectiveness of our services
and promotional activities. It also helps us make available higher quality and
more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the collective
characteristics and behavior of the users of the Site, and by measuring
demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Site.
We also
may use “cookies” that allow us to serve visitors of the Site better and more
efficiently. Cookies are small text files placed on a visitor’s computer’s hard
drive if permitted by the web browser. Among other things, cookies make it
easier for users to access the Site and services, and help us track the pages
that visitors go to, determine the length of time visitors spend at any
particular area of the Site, and track the services visitors choose to use.
Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to read
data from hard disks, execute any code, send viruses to you or destroy your
files. Most browsers initially are set up to accept cookies. However, usually
you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is
being sent. Some parts of this Site may not function properly if you refuse
cookies, but most of the Site still should be accessible. For information on
whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser, please refer to the
documentation accompanying your web browser.
Personally Identifiable
Information
We do not collect any information that personally identifies
you unless you knowingly and willingly provide it. We explicitly ask for
information that personally identifies you. We request
personally
identifiable information in the following
instances:
Registration
You may be asked to register before
accessing certain areas on the Site. We require specific contact information
(such as your name and e-mail address). This information is used to contact you
about the services you are requesting on the Site. We also may ask you for
additional demographic information (such as the hardware and operating system
that you use), so we can give you a more customized experience. However, your
response to these types of questions is voluntary.
Ordering
Products
If you are ordering a product, you need to give us your contact
information (such as your name and shipping address) and financial information
(such as your credit card number and its expiration date). We use this
information for billing purposes and to fulfill your order. We also may use this
information to contact you if we have trouble processing your
order.
Newsletters
We will ask for your contact information
(such as your name and e-mail address) if you wish to subscribe to our
newsletters.
Surveys and Contests
Occasionally we offer surveys
and contests for which we require user information (such as your name and
shipping address). Participation in these surveys and contests is
voluntary.
Survey information will be used to determine future product
development, gain more insight into our users and improve the Site. We will use
contact information that you submit to us in entering a contest to notify
winners and award prizes.
Sharing Information
We share
non-personally identifiable information with our partners and
advertisers.
We share personally identifiable information in the
following instances:
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders and a
credit card processing company to bill users for products and services. These
companies have agreed not to retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for other purposes.
We partner with other companies to
provide specific services. When you sign up for these services, we will share
your name and other necessary contact information with the relevant partner.
These partners have agreed not to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing the services specified.

Transfers
