How do we protect visitor information?
|
We implement a variety of
security measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information. Your personal information is
contained behind secured networks and is only
accessible by a limited number of persons who have
special access rights to such systems, and are
required to keep the information confidential. When
you place orders or access your personal
information, we offer the use of a secure server.
All sensitive/credit information you supply is
transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology
and then encrypted into our databases to be only
accessed as stated above.

| |
Do we use "cookies"?
|
| |
Yes. Cookies are small files
that a site or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard dritve through your Web browser
(if you allow) that enables the site's or service
provider's systems to recognize your browser and
capture and remember certain information. For
instance, we use cookies to help us remember and
process the items in your shopping cart. They are
also used to help us understand your preferences
based on previous or current site activity, which
enables us to provide you with improved services. We
also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data
about site traffic and site interaction so that we
can offer better site experiences and tools in the
future.
We may contract with third-party service providers
to assist us in better understanding our site
visitors. These service providers are not permitted
to use the information collected on our behalf
except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each
time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to
turn off all cookies. You do this through your
browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little
different, so look at your browser Help menu to
learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you
turn cookies off, you won't have access to many
features that make your site experience more
efficient and some of our services will not function
properly. However, you can still place orders over
the telephone by contacting customer service.

Do we disclose the information we collect to
outside parties?
|
| |
We do not sell, trade, or
otherwise transfer to outside parties your
personally identifiable information unless we
provide you with advance notice, except as described
below. The term "outside parties" does not include
Ventrino Software LLC. It also does not include
website hosting partners and other parties who
assist us in operating our website, conducting our
business, or servicing you, so long as those parties
agree to keep this information confidential. We may
also release your information when we believe
release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or
others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor
information may be provided to other parties for
marketing, advertising, or other uses.
