Information Collection & Use

Registration

In order to use this website, you must first complete the registration form. During registration, you are required to give contact information (such as name and email address). We use this information to contact you about the services in which you have expressed interest.

We will occasionally send you information on products, services, special deals, and promotions. You can choose to opt out of these emails.

If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date).

We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

Surveys

From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you.

The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code).

We use this information to improve services for our customers.

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys. That company will be prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for any other purpose.

The administrator in charge of your account will be able to remove individuals at his or her own discretion.
