| We
request information from the user on our order form. A
user may have to provide contact information (i.e., name
and shipping address) and financial information (i.e.,
credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer orders.
If we have trouble processing an order, this information
is used to contact the user. |

| We
use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track a user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information. |
|
|
|
| |
| We
will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person. We
use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a
credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. These companies do not retain, share, store
or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes. We partner with third parties to provide specific
services. When the user signs up for these services, we
will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these
services. |
