When you sign up for an account on our Site, you choose a password to help protect your account information. We encourage you to select a strong password and keep it safe.
In order to most effectively serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party online payment systems and processing agents. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order. When you enter your credit or debit card information on our Site, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) in order to prevent your personal information from being stolen or intercepted. Additionally, your credit card information is never stored on our servers or is encrypted and stored on a restricted-access database that is away from our main Site and only accessible by authorized users.
We limit access to your information to specific Site administrators who have a reasonable need to come into contact with your information. Our Service Partners are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for other purposes.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as your account is active or it is reasonably necessary or relevant for the purposes it was collected, or to comply with any laws or document retention requirements.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.
