below.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?
-
Information You Provide. We receive and store information
you enter. For example, when you search for or buy a product
or service, or when you supply information such as your
address, phone number or credit card. You can choose not to
provide certain information, but then you might not be able
to take advantage of some of our features. We use the
information that you provide for such purposes as responding
to your requests, customizing future shopping for you,
improving our website, and communicating with you. In
addition, if you choose, we may share your information with
other companies who provide goods or services that you are
interested in. Please see the "opt-in/opt-out" selection in
Section 4 of this policy.
- Cookies. Like many websites, we use "cookies". Cookies
are small programs that we transfer to your hard drive that
allow us to recognize you and to provide you with a
customized shopping experience. If you do not want us to use
cookies, you can easily disable them by going to the toolbar
of your web browser, and clicking on the "help" button.
Follow the instructions that will prevent the browser from
accepting cookies, or set the browser to inform you when you
receive a new cookie. In addition, you may visit this and
other websites anonymously through the use of utilities
provided by other private companies.
- Other Information: Every computer has an IP (Internet
Protocol) address. IP addresses of computers used to visit
this site are noted. In addition, we automatically collect
other information such as email addresses, browser types,
operating systems, and the URL addresses of sites clicked to
and from this site.
- Information from Other Sources. We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. This may include updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

How Do We Use Your Information?
-
Customized Shopping. We use your information to better serve
you. As noted above, you may "opt-out" of this
customization, or even visit and shop anonymously. * Agents.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering
packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and processing
credit card payments. They have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but may not
use it for other purposes.
- Special Offers. We may send you special offers from time
to time, unless you choose to "opt-out" of receiving such
offers. In addition, we may also send you special offers
from other companies. Again, you may "opt-out". If we send
you offers from other businesses, we do not share your
personal information with them. The offers come directly
through us. Please see the "opt-in/opt-out" selection at the
end of this policy.
- Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our
business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event
that we are acquired, customer information will be one of
the transferred assets.
- Law Enforcement. If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information then we will comply with the law. We will also release information when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?

- We limit access to your information on a "need to know" basis.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
