How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures
to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal
information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible
by a limited number of persons who have special access rights
to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
When you place orders or access your personal information, we
offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information
you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology
and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated
above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site
or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's
or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies
to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart.
They are also used to help us understand your preferences based
on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide
you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile
aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that
we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service
providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors.
These service providers are not permitted to use the information
collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve
our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn
you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn
off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little
different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct
way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't
have access to many features that make your site experience more
efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting
customer service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer
to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless
we provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
The term "outside parties" does not include DMR Holdings,
LLC. It also does not include website hosting partners and other
parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our
business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to
keep this information confidential. We may also release your information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights,
property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor
information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising,
or other uses.
