We are serious about your privacy

We respect your privacy. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

What information we collect & how we use it:

In order to process your order we may require various forms of personal information from you. We never ask for more than is necessary for the safe and secure authorization process we use to verify your ability to pay and your identity. We use several strict methods to check the validity of an order and our gateway will decline suspicious orders.
IP addresses are recorded for security purposes only in the check out process.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user but is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. If you are set not to accept cookies you will not be able to add more than one item to the cart.

On some pages, you can submit feedback or leave comments and we may ask you for some additional information, you are never required to leave additional information and we will never send you unsolicited emails. The only times you will get email from us are if you ask a question, place an order or request to join our update list.

We use non-identifying and computer generated information for statistical purposes only. This includes among other things, domain, country, browser, platform & pages visited. Most websites routinely do this and we never share any of this information with anybody not directly involved with the maintenance of our website.

Personal Card Information / Data security

We're hardcore serious about data security. All staff is trained in data and information security (P.C. I. compliance etc.) and we have in house rules to keep your information safe. Your credit card numbers aren't stored locally and our staff does not have access to that data. When you submit your sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number, and CVV), that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers (FireFox, IE, Opera, hrome and others) becomes locked, as opposed open, when you are just window shopping.

As we mentioned, we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.

The servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure hosted environment, behind a locked door & cage in a data center ranked for their security and quality. We pay a lot to keep your invaluable information secured, and it is a priority.
