We will use your information to respond to your inquiries or in response to the reason you contacted us, to fulfill an order, to send you information or offers based on your search and interests, or to improve the user experience and our services to you.

Orders 

We request information from you during the ordering process for our products and services. To buy from us or enlist our services, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date if paying via credit card). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you. Please do not email credit card information as we cannot control the security of those means.

Service Providers

We use third party services to assist us in providing our Services, to help us collect and analyze data on our websites, or to provide a service on our behalf.

And/or: 

We may use an outside shipping company to ship orders and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

And/or: 

We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Security 

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect personal information that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Cookies and Log Data

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, cookies remember you so that you don’t have to log in a password more than once if you have passwords saved. Cookies can enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (e.g. programs used for analytics and lead generation). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies. These third-party services like Google Analytics have their own privacy policies.

These services may also collect “Log Data” such as the browser you use, what pages you visit on our sites, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other statistics.

If you would like to opt out, you can easily do so through the browsers that you use. You can change your settings to refuse all cookies or only accept them on certain sites. You can also enable the Do Not Track option in your browser’s settings to notify sites that you do not want to be tracked. Another option is to use browsers that have these privacy settings already enabled.

This website contains links to other sites, such as our social media pages. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other such sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Our services are generally only utilized by those 18 and older. Anyone younger than 18 is not within our target demographics for our products and services.

We do not knowingly collect information on anyone younger than 13 years. If your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and that information will be removed from our files. If we have knowledge that any information we have belongs to a minor, that information will be removed as soon as we are aware of it.
