Information Collection and Use
We do not collect personally identifiable information
about you, except when you provide it to us. For example, if you
decide to complete a survey you may be asked to provide certain
information such as your contact information (name, e-mail address
and mailing address), gender, birth date, age group and product
usage. When you submit your personally identifiable information on
this website, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and
disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy
Policy. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally
identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any
such information. The information you provide may be used by us to
create and deliver to you our e-mails, catalogs, surveys or other
communications. If you prefer not to receive such communications,
please contact us.
Protection of Information
We will not sell, lease, share or divulge any
personally identifiable information you provide to us, except in
these situations:
(A) We sell all, or substantially all of our
business assets to another party. In such transactions, user
information, including personally identifiable information,
generally is one of the transferred business assets, and by
submitting your personal information on the website you agree that
your data may be transferred to such parties in these circumstances.
(B) We may retain other companies and individuals to
perform functions on our behalf. Examples include data analysis
firms, customer support specialists, web hosting companies, and
fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that coordinate mailings).
Such third parties may be provided with access to personally
identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but may
not use such information for any other purpose. Such third parties
may also use the information collected in aggregate form for their
internal business purposes, such as generating statistics for
marketing materials
(C) We are required by law to disclose the
information.

identifiable information from any children under 13.
Cookies and Log Files
We may place a "cookie" on your computer's hard
drive so we can recognize you as a return user and personalize your
experience. A cookie is a piece of data that enables us to track and
target your preferences. The cookie will be stored on your
computer's hard drive until you remove it. You can have your browser
notify you of, or automatically reject, cookies. If you reject our
cookie, you may still use our website, but you may be limited in the
use of some of the features. In addition, we may use IP addresses to
analyze trends, administer our website, track traffic patterns, and
gather demographic information for aggregate use. Except as
otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will not use IP
addresses in combination with your personally identifiable
information without your prior consent. When you visit this website
or view one of our e-mails, we may use pixel tags (also called
"clear" gifs), tracking links and/or similar technology to note some
of the pages you visit on our website and personalize your
experience. We may also use pixel tags to determine what types of
e-mail your browser supports. We may use the information collected
through pixel tags, tracking links and similar technology in
combination with your personally identifiable information.
We may use the information you provide in aggregate
form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics
and developing marketing plans. We will not sell or rent your
personally identifiable information to third parties without your
consent, except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
We may collect, store or accumulate certain
non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of this
website, such as information regarding which of our pages are most
popular.
