However, this policy may change and information may be disclosed in the event of bankruptcy, merger, or acquisition. Further, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personal information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose personal information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

3. Security.

We have put into place appropriate measures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect on the Site. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that information we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

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 are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order to maintain the safety of your personal information.

All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

4. Cookies.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive that can be retrieved later to identify you. The use of cookies is standard on the internet. We may choose to use cookies in order to monitor website traffic and/or to recognize return visitors as a way to facilitate and customize your use of the Site. Except as described above, we do not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor do we sell the information to third parties.

Most internet browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies, we cannot guarantee that all parts of our site will function properly.

5. Collection of Information by Third Parties.

The Site may contain advertising which provides links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. In the course of advertisements being served to you, a unique third-party cookie or other advertising technology may be placed on your browser. This advertising technology uses information derived from your visits to the Site to target advertising within the Site. This information can be used for many purposes, for example, to ensure that you do not see the same advertisements repeatedly. We may also use this information to help select and display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you (sometimes called “online behavioral advertising” or “OBA”). We may also use web beacons, provided by third-party advertising companies, to help manage and optimize our online advertising. Web beacons enable us to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the Site, to learn which banner ads bring users to our Site and to deliver more relevant advertising. For more information about online advertising, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/consumers.

In addition, our advertisers may use other third-party advertising technologies to target advertising on the Site and other websites. We have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. Each third party has its own privacy policy, and customers should consult the third party privacy policy before providing any personal information. Please contact these third parties directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.

6. Children’s Privacy.

The Site is in no way directed at or intended for children and/or any persons under the age of 18. As such, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age without the prior, verifiable consent of a parent or legal representative. Website visitors may be asked to provide their date of birth or a parent’s email address as a verification mechanism. If we become aware that a child has posted any personal information on our website, we will remove the content.

7. California Online Privacy Protection Act.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

8. CAN SPAM Act.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
