Information Collection and Use

Order
We request information from the user on our order form hosted by Yahoo! 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.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. Although no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% absolute secure, we follow leading industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) on our order form, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Newsletter
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 way to opt-out of these communications. To unsubscribe through the newsletter itself, click on the link provided at the bottom of every newsletter.

Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send a 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.

Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.
