Order & Registration
We request information from you on our order forms and when you register. This information is used for order fulfillment, billing, customer service, and to understand your areas of interest. You must provide delivery information and when applicable, your credit/debit card number and type in order for us to fulfill your order. You may also be asked to supply a password that gives you access to your profile and order information. If you visit our programs by linking through one of our partners or affiliates, they may forward us your delivery and credit/debit card information, saving you from reentering the information on our sites.
Tracking Technology
If you have been offered our services through one of our marketing partners or affiliates (see "Use of Information" section below), we may share the information you enter with that partner or affiliate. To do so, we use a technology called clear GIFs, which automatically and securely transfer the information you enter. In the future, we may use other similar technologies on the site for the same purpose. If we do so, we will modify our privacy policy accordingly. See the "Notification of Changes" section below.
We also use clear GIFs and cookies in conjunction with a third party service vendor in order to track and analyze our promotions. These clear GIFs and cookies do not contain any information that identifies individual users.
Network Advertising
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve our ads on other sites. These companies may employ cookies and clear GIFs (also known as action tags, single pixel GIFs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and clear GIFs is completely anonymous. If you would like more information about this practice and your choices, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.
