We respect your right to privacy and shares your
concern about the security of any data you may submit to our
website. The following statement discloses the guidelines we
have established for protecting the information you provide
to us during your visit to our site.
What information about me do you collect and how is
it used?
We only collects personal information about you
if you voluntarily choose to share it with us. We do not rent
or sell information concerning our customers to third parties.
When you visit our webiste, unless you voluntarily disclose
personal information, we do not collect or store any personally
identifiable information about you. However, we do collect and
store certain data about the use of our website. This is done
on an anonymous basis, and the same information is collected
for all hits on our servers. The information collected may include
the time and date you visited the site, the pages you looked
at, and your IP address and domain name. We do not link this
information to anything personally identifiable to you. We only
use this information for system administration and to help us
develop ideas about how we might tailor our site to improve
your visit. This information is not rented or sold to third
parties and will not be used by us to contact you in any way.
You may decide to send us personally identifying
information in an e-mail message which might contain information
or inquiries about our products or services. We will use
this information to identify you as a customer and to
respond to the electronic mail. We will only use the information
obtained to resolve the issue identified in the e-mail. We never
sells e-mail addresses.
We may transfer personal information that you share within
us in order to provide the products that you request.
Except as specified above, we will only share your personal
information with third parties if:
- we have your consent;
- we consider that we are required to do so by law;
- we find that you are in breach of our terms and conditions
or any of our policies or usage guidelines for specific products
or services;
- it is necessary in our opinion to do so to prevent, investigate,
detect or prosecute criminal offences or attacks on the technical
integrity of our site(s) or our network; or
- it is necessary in our opinion to do so to protect the rights,
property, or safety of our company or our employees, the
users of our website(s), or the public.
What do you do to protect the data
I transmit to your Online Store?
Our online store uses industry standard Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of personal
information such as your name and address, as well as critically
sensitive information such as your credit card number. In addition,
our secure servers protect this information using advanced firewall
technology.
What can I do to help make sure online shopping works
correctly?
To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing
unauthorized access to your private information, you should
be aware of the security features available to you through your
browser. You should use a security-enabled browser to make purchases
at our online store. Please note: If you do not use a SSL-capable
browser, you are at risk for having data intercepted. We
will not be responsible for any compromise of data that is intercepted
due to the customer's use of an unsecured browser.
Most browsers have the ability to notify you if you change
between secure and insecure communications, receive invalid
site identification information for the site you are communicating
with, or send information over an unsecured connection. We recommend
that you enable these browser functions to help ensure that
your communications are secure. You can also monitor the URL
of the site you are visiting (secure URLs begin with https:// rather
than the normal http://), along with the
security symbol of your browser (an open or closed padlock in
Netscape or a broken or complete key in Internet Explorer) to
help identify when you are communicating with a secure server.
You can also view the details of the security certificate of
the site to which you are connected. We encourage you to use
this to check the validity of any site you connect to using
secure communications.
You should carefully review security/privacy policies of any
third party sites accessible from our site. Other sites accessible
through our website have their own policies and data collection,
use, and disclosure practices.
Please consult each site's policies and practice. We are not
responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.
The information practices of those websites linked from our
site are not covered by this Privacy/Security Policy. These
other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data,
or solicit personal information.
What's your policy regarding children's use of your
website?
While we encourage everyone to visit our site and learn
about our company,
we have no desire to collect information from those under the
age of 18. Any instance of personal information about a minor
being collected would be purely accidental and unintentional.
We strongly encourage parents to take an active role in their
children's use of the Internet and to take appropriate steps
to ensure a positive and safe experience.
Where can I learn more about using the Internet and
protecting my privacy?
The United States Federal Trade Commission has a web page http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/index.html devoted
to providing you with information about protecting your privacy
online. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the
concepts discussed on this page.

Disclaimer
While we continue to work hard to protect your personal information,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be 100 percent secure and we cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us. Transmitting
personal information is done at your own risk. |
