Your Choices
Marketing Preferences
We want to communicate with you in ways you want to hear from us. Examples are newsletters, special offers, and new product announcements. We use the following standards for marketing communications:
• We use an opt-in standard for phone and text messages. Opt-in means we will only conduct the activity with your express consent.
• We use an opt-out standard for all other communications. Opt-out means we will conduct the activity unless you tell us not to.
You can provide us your marketing preferences by visiting the Contact Us section below.
If you contact us by email, please be sure to include your full name, the types of communications you would like to receive or not receive, and your related contact information. For instance, if you would like to opt-out of email, include your mailing address.
Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processe as it may take up to 10 days to process your request. You can also change your mind about your marketing preferences. To do so, you can contact us at the email address provided below.
Please be aware that, even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still contact you for transactional purposes. Some examples are contacts for customer service, product information, or service or reminder notices. We may also need to contact you with questions or information regarding your order, such as regarding order status or shipment.

How We Secure Your Information
Securing your information is a company priority. When you are shopping online, we use reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information. When we do have to collect your private personal information we will protect its confidentiality, prohibit its unlawful disclosure, and limit access to authorized personnel only.
Online Protections
We use an encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) through our Paypal payment service. When you enter a secure portion of a website, you will see https (instead of http) in the address bar, and an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear in the address bar or bottom bar of your browser window. If you click on this image, website security information will appear. This indicates that your personal information is transmitted in encrypted form, not to some unknown or unauthorized server.
