How We Protect Personal Information We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical
safeguards to protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration
or destruction of the information you provide on our Site.
Among other safeguards, we use Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology
to help protect transmissions over the internet of your payment card data. You can
confirm that SSL is being used by looking at the URL line of your browser. When
accessing a secure Site, the first characters of the Site's address will change
from “http” to “https.” If you are using a web browser or a
firewall that does not permit communications through our secure Site, you may not
be able to make purchases on our Site.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or stored on a server can
be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information
you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction,
or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information. If you prefer not to transmit
your credit card number over the internet, you can contact us using the toll-free
number listed on the Site from which you want to order.
Updates to Our Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our
online privacy practices. We will post a prominent notice on this Site to notify
you of any significant changes, and indicate at the top of the notice when it was
most recently updated.

information. The Site is intended for a general audience and are not designed
for children under 13 years old. Accordingly, the Company will not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected personal
information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from
our databases.
Miscellaneous The Site is U.S.-based and therefore, information we collect about
you may be stored, processed and accessed in the United States. By using the Site,
you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of personal information about
