Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such sites, and we encourage you to read the privacy statements of such third party websites prior to your use thereof.
The Information We Collect and Why: You are not required to create an account or submit your personal information to us in order to use the Site. However, your personal information may be required in order to access features or areas, such as registering for an online account at the Site, placing orders, or signing up for newsletters. The information that we require for these features may include information such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, and credit card number.

When you visit our Site, our servers log your IP address for administrative reasons and to audit the use of our Site. Your IP address is not linked to any personal information, unless you make a purchase on the Site, in which case, your IP address and credit card information will be linked as part of our fraud prevention program. Your IP address may be used to identify you when necessary for the protection of our customers, our Site, and others. We collect non-personal information as you use our Site, such as your browser type, computer or device type, unique device identifiers, operating system version, the website from where you navigated to our Site, time and date of using our Site, the name of your Internet service provider (ISP), and location information. We use cookies to help improve your experience at our Site.

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself. Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language). Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as first-party cookies, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called third-party cookies, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. Cookies are crucial to your experience of our website’s shopping cart, enabling core features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website. If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our Site, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.

Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie. If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device. Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across the sites you visit.
How We Use and Share Your Information: We collect information from you so that we can provide you with your requested services. For example, we use your personal information to contact you about your orders, process credit card transactions, and ship products to you.

We may also use third party service providers to help host and administer our Site, send emails, provide marketing and advertising services for us, assist with fraud prevention, and process payments. These service providers may have access to your personal information in order to provide these services, but when this occurs we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of such personal information.

If the ownership of our business changes or we transfer assets relating to our business to a third party, such as by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceeding, or otherwise, we may need to transfer or sell your personal information to the new owner.
