How we use cookies for advertising purposes

Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us market more effectively to users that we and our partners believe may be interested in us. They also help provide us with aggregated auditing, research, and reporting, and know when content has been shown to you.

Opt-in and Opt-out on Browsers

Some people prefer not to allow cookies, which is why most browsers give you the ability to manage cookies to suit you. In some browsers you can set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, giving you more fine-grained control over your privacy. What this means is that you can disallow cookies from all sites except those that you trust.


Browser manufacturers provide help pages relating to cookie management in their products. Please see below for more information.


For other browsers, please consult the documentation that your browser manufacturer provides.


You can opt out of interest-based targeting provided by participating ad servers through the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://youradchoices.com). In addition, on your iPhone, iPad or Android, you can change your device settings to control whether you see online interest-based ads. If you limit the ability of websites and applications to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience and/or lose the ability to access the site, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings, like login information.

Web Beacons

Some of our web pages and HTML -formatted e-mail newsletters may use Web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about website usage. A web beacon is an electronic image often called a single- pixel (1x1) or clear GIF, which is ordinarily not visible to the Website visitor. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on a visitor's computer, such as a visitor’s cookie number, time and date of page or image view and description of the page where the web beacon is placed. When used in an e-mail they can tell us whether an e-mail has been opened. You may control whether your email client is allowed to download images and web beacons.

What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect only that Personal Information that you specifically and voluntarily provide to us while using our Website. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, we define Personal Information as information that identifies you as a specific individual, for example, your name, physical or email address, and phone number. We collect your Personal Information when you:

  • Make a purchase
  • Create an account
  • Subscribe to receive our emails
  • Request a catalog or other marketing information from us
  • Register at our Website

Please note the Website is intended for use by residents of the U.S. only who are over the age of eighteen (18). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children younger than thirteen (13) years of age.

How We Use Your Information

We use your Personal Information to provide you with our products and services and to operate our business and to provide you information and the ability to purchase our goods and services. We often use the information we collect for multiple purposes. For example, if you make a purchase via our Website, we collect several types of data from you and use it in multiple ways: First, we use your shipping address to make sure that our products arrive at your door. We may also use your contact information to send you a receipt of purchase. We may look at your experience on our Website to make improvements to it and try to tailor it to your needs. We will also analyze the data you provide us and your behavior on our Website to ensure that the activity is not fraudulent. Finally, we use your purchase information for other business-related purposes like accounting and financial reporting.

How We Protect Your Information

To help protect the security of your Personal Information, we seek to use security technology and procedures consistent with industry standards. We use encryption technology and Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) in all areas of the Website where your personal account information is required, which means the Personal Information you submit to us via our Website is encrypted by your computer and decrypted again on our side.


Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below.

How Long We Retain Your Information

We will retain information we collect from you where we have a justifiable business need to do so, and/or for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law, such as for tax, legal, or accounting purposes.


When we have no justifiable business need to process your personal data, we will either delete it or anonymize it, or if it not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How We May Disclose Your Information, Including Personal Information, to Third Parties

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third 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 Website policies or protect our or others’ rights, property or safety.


With respect to payment information, such as your credit/debit card information that you may provide us when you make a purchase via our Website, we do not collect any of that information. Rather, Stripe, our third-party payment processor, collects that data in order to process your payment. For more information about how Stripe uses and protects your information, please review its Privacy Policy.

Electronic Communications

If you receive commercial electronic communications from us, you can unsubscribe from the receipt of future commercial electronic communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe link” provided in such communications.


Customers who have a registered account may also opt out of receiving commercial electronic communications by logging in to their account, clicking on “Settings,” “User Accounts,” selecting a user, then editing the options in “Notification Options.” We will comply with your request(s) within ten (10) working days.


Please also note that if you do opt out of receiving commercial electronic communications from us, we may still send you important administrative messages (such as updates about your account or service changes), and you cannot opt out from receiving these messages.

California Privacy Rights

California Shine the Light Law: California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, permits California residents to request certain information regarding opt-out of and/or our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

At this time, we do not respond to Web browser “do not track” settings or signals.
