Information Collection and Use
This site may collect information from its users at several different
points. For instance, we request information from the user should the
user order goods or services. A user must provide contact information
(such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information
(such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used
for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, the information is used to contact the user. Also,
we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser
type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
We do not collect or store information through cookies, clear gifs,
third parties or by other means to create a profile of our users. No
profile of stored information is kept on individual users that details
their viewing preferences. We do not share any user information connected
with this Web site with other third parties. Specifically, we do not
share any e-mail or other correspondance to this Web site, in part or
whole, with any third parties; we do not share any log information,
in part or whole, with any third parties.
Communications from the Site
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users
privacy we provide a clear and simple way to opt-out of these communications.
Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended
for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not
opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account.
However, these communications are not promotional in nature. Users may
opt-out of these communications. Please see our Choice and Opt-out section.
Legal Disclaimer: Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy,
we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein
we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply

Transitions of Ownership
In the event this site goes through a transition of ownership, such
as the death of the founder, users’ personal information will, in most
instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where
we ask for information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’
mechanism so users who buy a good or service from us, but don’t want
any further material, can keep their personal information off of our
lists.
