We employ your information to respond to your inquiries and to fulfill your requests, such as processing orders. Your information will not be shared with external parties, except as required to meet your requests (e.g., shipping an order).

Unless you indicate otherwise, we may contact you via email in the future to inform you about promotions, new products or services, or updates to this privacy policy.

3. Security

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

Any sensitive information, such as credit card data, is encrypted and securely transmitted to us whenever we collect it. You can verify this by checking for a lock icon in the address bar and "https" at the beginning of the web page address.

While we employ encryption for online protection of sensitive information, we also secure your data offline. Only employees with specific job responsibilities (e.g., billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers/computers where we store this information are kept in a secure environment.

Users have the choice to register for a user account when using this website. During registration, you may be required to provide certain information (such as your name and email address). We use this information to contact you about products/services on our site that match your interests. You may also choose to provide additional information about yourself for your profile, but it is not mandatory.

5. Orders

We request information from you through our order form. To complete a purchase, you must provide contact details (such as your name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fulfill your orders. If we encounter difficulties processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

For shipping, we engage an external shipping company, and for billing, we use a credit card processing company. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond order fulfillment.

6. Cookies

We employ "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a data piece stored on a visitor's hard drive to enhance your access to our site and identify repeat visitors. For example, cookies can save you from having to log in repeatedly, saving time on our site. Cookies also help us track and tailor our site to the interests of our users. The usage of a cookie is not linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Occasionally, our site may request information through surveys or contests. Participation in these activities is entirely voluntary, and you may choose whether or not to participate and disclose this information. The information requested may include contact details (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age level). Contact information will be used to notify contest winners and award prizes, while survey data will be utilized to monitor and enhance site usage and user satisfaction.
