We collect and store information that you enter into this Web site or that you provide to our Customer Service Department only for the purpose of answering inquiries submitted by the user. We will not use this information to proactively contact you in any other way.

We may release personal information if we believe in good faith that: the law or legal process requires it; we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of us, or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers or others.

We may share non-personal information with our marketing partners, advertisers and others from time to time. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this Web site during a specific time period. This information generally is shared in an aggregated form.

As with any business, it is possible that as our business develops, we might sell or buy online stores or other assets. In such transactions, information about customers often is among the transferred assets. Accordingly, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired by a third party, such information may be one of the transferred assets (unless the information was collected under a previous Privacy Policy that did not permit such disclosure). Under such circumstances, the acquired party would to the extent possible require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy.


What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?

We use various security measures, including encryption technology, to protect personal information that we collect. The technologies that we use are subject to change without notice.


How Can I Access, Correct and Update Personal Information?
