Personal Information: "Personal Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personal Information is requested when you register with us, order a product or service, correspond with us. Personal Information might include your name, telephone number, mobile phone number, mailing and email address, and other identification and contact information. If you are using email a friend, we may ask you to provide the name and email address so that we may send them or you an email. We will also collect certain financial information, like your credit card number. With this information, we can fill your service and product orders and better provide you with personalized services.

This information may include the types of information described above, as well as other types of information that you have entered into these third-party programs.

Non Personal Information: "Non Personal Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. This information may be compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the website’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the Internet. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Policy, we are the only entity collecting your information. This Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.

A cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that set the cookie. Cookies can securely store a user’s password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections, such as those selected in a "shopping cart."
