How do we protect
visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to

Your personal information is contained behind

number of persons who have special access rights to
such systems, and are required to keep the
information confidential. When you place orders or
access your personal information, we offer the use
of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information
you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted into our databases to
be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use
"cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its
service provider transfers to your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that
enables the site's or service provider's systems to
recognize your browser and capture and remember
certain information. For instance, we use cookies to
help us remember and process the items in your
shopping cart. They are also used to help us
understand your preferences based on previous or
current site activity, which enables us to provide
you with improved services. We also use cookies to
help us compile aggregate data about site traffic
and site interaction so that we can offer better
site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers
to assist us in better understanding our site
visitors. These service providers are not permitted
to use the information collected on our behalf
except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each
time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to
turn off all cookies. You do this through your
browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little
different, so look at your browser Help menu to
learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you
turn cookies off, you won't have access to many
features that make your site experience more
efficient and some of our services will not function
properly. However, you can still place orders over
the telephone by contacting customer service.

information we collect to outside parties?

outside parties your personally identifiable

release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or
others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor

marketing, advertising, or other uses.
