Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the
user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage
of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their
browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting
a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.
If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not
linked to personally identifiable information. The statistics
program on our web server collects aggregate information on what
pages consumers access or visit which we use for internal review
and to improve the content of our web site. This information is
not personal information. EMAIL addresses collected from those
who subscribe to our newsletter is only used for that purpose,
never sold or rented, and is archived.
Security
This site has security measures in place to
protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under
our control. All purchase information that you provide whether
for credit card purchase, on-line check purchase, or purchase
charge to your telephone is captured by a secure server and
passes over the Internet in encrypted form.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely
to information collected by this Web site.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic
information with our partners and advertisers. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
We use an outside credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do
not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
These parties are not allowed to use
personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to receive a newsletter, we
will ask for the member's email address so that we can send them
our newsletter.
Security
This website takes every precaution to
protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both
online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number),
that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
you are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk.
When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter,
as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are
notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure
environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security
at our website, you can contact us here.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service
announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from
service announcements, which contain important information about
the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested
services and in regards to issues relating to their account via
email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no
longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to
correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to
us. This can usually be done at the member information page or
by emailing our Customer Support.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
