INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Information
Collection. We collect information from you in several different ways
on this Site. One goal in collecting personal information from you is
to provide an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For
example, we can use your personal information to:
help make this Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
help you quickly find information, products, and services.
help us create content on this Site that is most relevant to you.
alert you to new information, products, and services that we offer.
(a)
Registration and Ordering. Before using certain parts of this Site or
ordering products, you may need to complete an online registration form. During
registration, you will be prompted to provide to us certain personal
information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing
address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card number. In
addition, we may also ask you for your country of residence and/or your
organization's country of operation, so we can comply with applicable laws
and regulations. These kinds of personal information
are used for billing purposes, to fulfill your orders, to communicate with
you about your order and our site, and for internal marketing purposes. If
we encounter a problem when processing your order, we use the personal
information to contact you.
(b)
Email Addresses. Several locations of the Site permit you to enter your
email address for purposes including but not limited to: free giveaways, promotions, and contests. We
may post on our Site the names and cities of contest winners.
Cookies and Other Technology. Like many sites, this Site employs
cookies and web beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or "action
tags") to speed your navigation of the Site, recognize you and your
access privileges, and track your Site usage.

Internet browser on your computer's hard drive. Most Internet browsers
are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse
cookies from web sites or to remove cookies from your hard drive, but
if you do, you will not be able to access or use portions of this Site.
We have to use cookies to enable you to select products, place them in

(ii)
Web
beacons assist in delivering cookies and help us determine whether a
web page on this Site has been viewed and, if so, how many times. For
example, any electronic image on this Site, such as an ad banner, can
function as a web beacon.
(iii)
We
may use third-party advertising companies to help us tailor site
content to users or to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may
employ cookies and web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness
(such as which web pages are visited or what products are purchased and
in what amount). Any information that these third parties collect via
cookies and web beacons is not linked to any personal information
collected by us.
(d)
Log Files. As is true of most web sites, the Site server automatically
recognizes the Internet URL from which you access this Site. We may
also log your Internet protocol ("IP") address, Internet service
provider, and date/time stamp for system administration, order
verification, internal marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes.
(An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the
Internet.)
(e)
Age. We respect children's privacy. We do not knowingly or
intentionally collect personal information from children under age 13.
Elsewhere on this Site, you have represented and warranted that you are
either 18 years of age or using the Site with the supervision of a
parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, please do not
submit any personal information to us, and rely on a parent or guardian
to assist you.
(f)
Product Reviews. You may choose to submit a product review. If you post
a review, we will ask for your email address and geographic location.
If you submit a review, your geographic location will be visible to
other users (your email address will be kept private). Also, any
personally identifiable information that you submit as part of the
review can be read or used by other visitors to the Site. We are not
responsible for any personally identifiable information that you choose
to submit as part of your review. We believe you can post a helpful
review without disclosing any personal information.
Information Use and Disclosure.
(a)
Internal Use. We use your personal information to process your order
and provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal
information to improve our Site's content and layout, to improve our
outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services
and products to you), and to determine general marketplace information about
visitors to this Site.
(b)
Communications with You: We will use your personal information to
communicate with you about our site and your orders and deliveries.
Also, we may send you a confirmation email when you register with us.
We may send you a service-related announcement on the rare occasions
when it is necessary (for example, if we must temporarily suspend our
service for maintenance.) Also, you may submit your email address for
reasons such as to register for a giveaway; to request us to
notify you when we receive a new brand, new product style, or product
size; to sign up for our email newsletter and special offers. If you submit your email
address, we use it to deliver the information to you. We always permit
you to unsubscribe or opt out of future emails (see the opt out
section, below, for more details). Because we have to communicate with
you about orders that you choose to place, you cannot opt out of
receiving emails related to your orders.
(c)
External Use. We want to provide you with excellent service and to
offer you a great selection - we primarily sell merchandise, not
information. We do not sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise disclose
your specific personal information or financial information to anyone,
except that:
(i)
As do most catalog and Internet retailers, we sometimes use others to
perform specific functions on our behalf. When we disclose information
to these service providers, we disclose information to help them to
perform their service. For example, in order to deliver products to
you, we must share some information. We partner with third parties
(such as the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and Federal
Express) to ship products, to ensure delivery, and so that we can
obtain feedback, improve the quality of our service, and measure and
improve the quality of the service of the third party. In the example
of shippers, we provide them some personally identifiable information
such as your name, shipping address, email, and phone number.
(ii)
Similarly, to help you buy products and provide customer service to
you, we must provide your credit card number to financial-services
corporations such as credit-card processors and issuers. When we submit
your credit card number for authorization, we use state-of-the-art data
encryption to protect your information. (More on this below in Data
Security.)
We may be required to disclose such information in response to requests
from law-enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a
court order; or if we are otherwise required to disclose such
information by law. We also will release personal information where
disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms
of Use or other agreements, or to protect ourselves or others. For
example, we may share information to reduce the risk of fraud or if
someone uses or attempts to use our Site for illegal reasons or to
commit fraud.
(vi)
We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily
visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a
certain date) with third parties such as advertising partners. This
information does not directly personally identify you or any user.
(vii)
We publicly disclose the name, city, and state of the weekly winner of a Giveaway.
DATA SECURITY
This Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative
procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal
information, including Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") for all financial
transactions through this Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your
personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect
your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal
information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your
personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to
your personal information. Finally, we rely on third-party service
providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware.
We believe that their security procedures are adequate. For example,
when you visit our Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure
physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal
information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete
security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and
updates on this Site so that you will always be aware of what
information we collect, use and disclose. We encourage you to review
this Privacy Policy from time to time so you will know if the Privacy
Policy has been changed or updated. If you have any questions about the
Privacy Policy, please contact us.
