Registration
As a customer, you are not required to create an account to purchase the items we have for sale. However, if you choose to register, we will collect your name, email address, and mailing address upon registration. This information is used to contact you about the items we have for sale on our site in which you have expressed an interest. At your discretion/option, you may also provide demographic information such as gender or age about yourself, but it is not required.
Orders
On our order form, we will request information from you in order to fulfill your order. Information collected will be your name, shipping address, email, phone, and financial information, such as your credit card number and expiration date. This information is used for billing purposes and to process your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use the contact information you provided to contact you.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, PayPal, and all major credit card processing companies to bill our customers for items they purchase from us. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling our customers’ orders.
Security
We take the necessary precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via our website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information, such as credit card data, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon in your web browser’s address/URL bar or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g., billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
