This privacy policy has been compiled to better
serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable
Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US
privacy law and information security, is information that can be used
on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a
single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our
privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we
collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable
Information in accordance with our website.

All transactions are processed through a gateway
provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
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 use cookies to:
•
Help remember and process the items in the shopping cart.
•
Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in
order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may
also use trusted third-party services that track this information on
our behalf.
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 settings. Since browser is a little different,
look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify
your cookies.

disabled. Some of the features that make your site experience more
efficient and may not function properly.
Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to
outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we
provide users with advance notice. This does not include website
hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our
website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as
those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also
release information when it's 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 information may be
provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third-party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include
or offer third-party products or services on our website. These
third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We
therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and
activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the
integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to
require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy
policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any
person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that
operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from
California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its
website stating exactly the information being collected and those
individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add
a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant
page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word
'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We don't honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not
Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT)
browser mechanism is in place. We don't honor them because:
Our site uses StatCounter to track daily visitor
traffic.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow
third-party behavioral tracking
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection
Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal
information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The
Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency,
enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites
and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety
online.
We do not specifically market to children under
the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form
the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they
include have played a significant role in the development of data
protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information
Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to
comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair
Information Practices we will take the following responsive action,
should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email
•
Within 7 business days
We will notify you via phone call
•
Within 7 business days
We will notify you via letter
•
Within 7 business days
We will notify the users via in-site notification
•
Within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that
individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against
data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This
principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights
against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts
or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance
by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules
for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages,
gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to
them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
