Cookies are small files which store certain information about your activity on the Web site and are stored on your computer’s hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. We use cookies to let us know that you are a prior customer, so that you don’t have to reenter information you gave us on your prior visits. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most allow you to instruct your browser to prevent the use of cookies.

Our Use and Disclosure of Your Information

We may send emails to our users announcing special promotions, changes in our services or other information we believe will be of interest to our users. We only do so provided we have your permission. If we in error send you an e-mail and do not have your permission, simply send us an e-mail with the subject REMOVE.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities on our site, we may collect such information. We may use that information and other information that we obtain from your use of our site to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreement for Terms of Use.

Our online data is shared with Bloomen Networks Inc. and we may share aggregate statistics about our sales, traffic patterns and related site information with other businesses, but these statistics will not include personally identifying information.

We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. For example, we may be required to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that may be illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

All user credit card information is securely communicated using secure socket layer (SSL) software, which is the industry standard and among the best software available for secure commerce transactions.

All user information stored on our server is stored in an encrypted format. Notwithstanding these efforts, we caution you that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet.
