We take your online privacy seriously. You may visit this website anonymously as often as you like without providing any personally identifying information (such as your name, address or email address). We do not collect personally identifying information from you except when you specifically provide it, and we protect the information we receive.
When you give us personally identifying information for a specific purpose, we will use that information solely for that purpose.
- In most of these instances we are seeking only your email address so that we can send you the specific information that you request, such as a newsletter or online subscription.
- In other instances, such as a contest, we request both your email address and your name (along with your contest answer), so that we can contact you by name in the event that you win.
- If you choose to purchase an item that may be offered by us through our direct sales service, we will you will be required to open a password-protected account with us. We will need to collect additional information for billing and shipping, such as your full name, home address and credit card information.
- Finally, in cases of forums or bulleting boards on this website where you can participate in a public discussion of a particular subject by posting comments, we ask for a name simply so that other people reading a string of comments will be able to determine which comments come from the same person. You may, if you choose, provide a nickname or alias so that your identity is not disclosed. You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personally identifying information (e.g. user name, email address) on the bulletin boards or forums, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. If you choose to participate anonymously, you should remember that you are still legally liable for the material you post, including claims of libel, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.
All of these activities–the subscriptions, contests, public forums, and on-line purchases–are purely voluntary; if you do not wish to reveal your name, email address or other information, you are free simply to ignore these offerings. If you decide to participate, then we will not use your name or email address for any purpose other than as stated, and will not sell or rent your name or address to third parties not affiliated with us. If you purchase an item that may be offered at this website, we may share your credit card information with an independent third-party service whose function is to verify the information you provide, and we will store and make available information about recent purchases made through this website using your password.

This website may include links to other web sites or resources. We have no control over such sites and resources.

Security of Private Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard personally identifying information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification.

The most we can tell you is that we take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration or unauthorized inspection. In addition, in rare instances, we may disclose private information in accordance with applicable laws to protect this website or other visitors.
