Information this Site Gathers/Tracks

Our web site logs IP addresses and browser types, but we do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous. You can browse our site without entering any personal information and therefore remain anonymous during your visit.

The only other place that we collect personal information on our Web site is on the order forms, which ask for billing information such as name, postal address, email address and credit card number should you decide to place an order online.

Use of the Information this Site Gathers/Tracks

Our Website logs IP addresses for systems administration purposes and these logs are analyzed to constantly improve the value of the materials available on the website.

Sharing of the Information this Site Gathers/Tracks

 The information that you submit on the order form (contact and billing information) is never shared with any third parties, including our partners.

Security

When you place an order online, your personal information and credit card information are scrambled using encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. This makes it virtually impossible for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred through cyberspace. When we receive your order, it is kept encrypted until we're ready to process it. In addition, we erase your credit card information from our web site database so it isn't connected to the Internet, and is therefore safe from "hackers."
