We collect personally identifiable information that you enter on the Website or otherwise volunteer to us (such as your name, e-mail address, credit card number, home address, phone number, and/or similar information), when you contact us to, among other things, make purchases or request information. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future experiences for you, improving our operations, and communicating with you.

Information Collected Automatically

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us.

You may also continue to receive information from those third parties to whom your information was previously disclosed.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
