Our website is scanned periodically for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our website as safe as possible. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep such information confidential. In addition, all sensitive and credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures at different touch points, such as when you place an order or when you submit or access your PII.
All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
Do we use cookies?
Yes, we do. Cookies are small data files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow it) to enable the website's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information, which is not PII. Cookies are used to help us understand and save your preferences for future visits and enable us to provide you with a better experience. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about website traffic and interaction so that we can offer better experiences. We may use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf. Through your browser settings, you may be able to choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or to turn off all cookies. Since each browser is a little different, please look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, some features may be disabled.
Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your PII to outside parties unless we provide advance notice. This may include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as they agree to keep such PII confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with applicable law, enforce our website policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-PII information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, and other uses.
Third-party links
Occasionally, we may include or offer hyperlinks to third-party products or services on our website. Third-party websites have separate and independent privacy policies. Therefore, we are not responsible or liable for any content and activities of such hyperlinked websites. We work to protect our integrity and that of our website, so we welcome your feedback about such websites.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand aggregate, non-identifying information about how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are viewed and general traffic patterns). We do not run third-party advertising or behavioral ad targeting on this website. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is a California state law that requires commercial websites and online services that collect PII from California residents to post a conspicuous privacy policy on their website describing their data collection and sharing practices.
In compliance with CalOPPA:
- Users can visit our website anonymously.
- A link to this privacy policy is included on our home page, easy to find and containing the word "Privacy."
- You will be notified of any changes to our privacy policy through our privacy policy page.
- You can change your personal information by emailing or calling us, or by accessing your account through our website.

Does our website allow third-party behavioral tracking?
We do not allow third-party behavioral advertising tracking. We may use analytics tools to understand aggregate, non-identifying site usage.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of PII from children under the age of 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13.
CAN-SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, giving recipients the right to opt out.
We collect your email address in order to:
- Send information, respond to inquiries and other requests or questions, process orders, and send information and updates pertaining to such orders.
- Market to our mailing list and continue to send emails to our members and customers after the original transaction has occurred.
In compliance with CAN-SPAM, we will:
- Not use false or misleading subject lines or email addresses.
- Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
- Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
