Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

Any personal information you provide to us is maintained on secure servers and in our internal systems. We collect information when you register online or update your account, log-in, place an order, communicate online with our customer service representatives, opt-in to receive our emails, shop online, request a catalog or phone in orders.  This information may include, but is not limited to, your contact information (for example, your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses and phone number) and your credit card information. We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you.  We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us.  We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

 Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time.  You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

-          See what data we have about you, if any.

-          Change/correct any data we have about you.

-          Have us delete any data we have about you.

-          Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

 Security

We do not require you to transmit credit card data over the internet for purchases made on our website, rather a representative from our company will contact via phone to confirm your order, answer any questions and arrange for payment. We protect your information offline and only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.  The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in an off-line secure environment.  While we implement these and other security measures on our site, please note that 100% security is not always possible. You play a role in protecting your information as well. Because your password permits access to your personal information, please keep your password secret and do not disclose it to others.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 1.800.274.4637 or via email.

We request information from you on our order form.  To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address.)
