in any way other than as disclosed in this policy or stated at the
point where the information is collected.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This information is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill for goods and services and an
outside shipping company to ship orders. These companies do not use, share, retain
or store personally identifiable information for any purposes other than to process
the transaction or to ship the order.
We partner with other companies and individuals to provide specific services.

These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing these services.

used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
you for the information. For example, our order form has an opt-out box. If you
want to buy a product from us, but you do not want to receive future promotional
e-mails or marketing material, you simply check the box to opt-out of the group
receiving such e-mails.
If you no longer wish to receive promotional material from our partners, you
may opt-out of this group by responding to the “unsubscribe” e-mail
link or by e-mailing us at

Security
We want to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information on
our Web site, your information is protected online and off-line.
When you provide sensitive information on our site (such as credit card number
or social security number), that information is encrypted and protected with
encryption software. While you are on a secure page, such as our order form page,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked. We use Plesk SSL 128 bit certificates. A large
percentage of hosting companies use Plesk to manage their customer base.
SSL Certificates
While we use encryption software to protect sensitive information online,
we also use our best efforts to protect your information off-line.
All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information,
is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (such as our billing clerk or customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen savers when they leave
their desk. The servers on which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security for our Web site, please e-mail
us at:

This Web site contains links to other Web sites. We are not responsible for the
privacy practices of the other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Home Page so you will always be aware of what information we collect, how we
use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we decide to
use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify you by e-mail. You will have the
choice to allow us to use the information in this different manner. We will use
information according to the privacy policy posted at the time the information

PRIVACY
POLICY PROVISION REGARDING CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE
Children under 13 years of age should not provide information to us without the
written consent of their parent or guardian.
Unless otherwise indicated during collection of information, we do not provide
any personally identifying information to any third party for any purpose whatsoever
from children under 13 years of age. When a child under 13 registers on our site,
he or she must provide the e-mail address of his or her parent or guardian. We
will send an e-mail to that parent or guardian alerting them to the registration
process. The parent or guardian must consent, as described on our site and in
the e-mail, to the child’s use of the site before any child under 13 years
of age may participate in our online activities.
Children under 13 years of age may be allowed to participate in some contests
and promotions on our site. We will not require any such child to provide more
information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the contest. If such
a child wins, we notify and send prizes to the parent or guardian identified
in the initial registration process, who followed the procedure to provide consent
by regular postal mail. Publication of names, ages or images for contest winners
under 13 require parental or guardian consent.
No information that we collect from children under 13 years of age is used for
any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever except as explicitly stated
during registration for contests or promotions (the information collected is
used only for the specific contest or promotion). If we share such information
with any third parties, we will indicate the names of the companies, the kinds
of businesses run by these companies, how they might use the information, and
whether or not they have agreed to maintain the confidentiality and security
of the information. The parent or guardian may consent to collecting and using
the information without consenting to disclosure of the information to such companies.
We do not send, and we do not allow third parties to send, direct marketing communication
to children under 13 years of age.
If you, as a parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 years of age, have
any question or comment about our privacy policy or our information collection
practices, please contact us at:
You may review your child’s personal information, correct the information,
ask to have it deleted or refuse to allow any further collection or use of your
child’s information by following the instructions regarding “Correcting
and Updating Personal Information” in the section.
