We do not sell, rent, or give your personal information to any outside parties.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to identify which areas of website you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. Cookies allow our website to be more useful by storing information about your preferences. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser.

   Except as set out in this privacy policy, we do not disclose or sell your personal information to any third-parties. We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf. We may use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to serve ads to you based on information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to our Web sites in order to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

For the security and privacy of your information, once you make the consent to change it, the previous information is deleted from our database and there is no way to retrieve it.

7. Tips to Secure Your Privacy

   1.) The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. For instance, when you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL - Secure Socket Layer, and SET - Secure Electronic Transaction) technology. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
   
   2.) Your personal information is protected by a password that only you can view, edit, or delete. Therefore, to protect your information, you must not give out your password to a third party. If a password is used to protect your account and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. We will not ask you for your personal information. If you use a public computer, make sure you don’t save your information on it and don’t forget to log off after you’re done.
   
   3.) If you use an Interactive Area, such as our forums, you should be aware that these areas are open to the public and any personal information you post or provide at registration may be viewable by others. We are not responsible for personal information you submit in connection with the Interactive Areas, nor are we responsible for how others might use that information, including if they send you unsolicited messages. Interactive Area postings may be retained indefinitely.

8. Disclosing Your Personal Information

   We do not sell, rent or share your personally identifiable information to or with 3rd parties for marketing purposes or in any way other than that disclosed in this privacy statement.
   
   1.) We may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, to provide data storage, to host websites, to fulfill orders and shipments, to assist in marketing, to conduct audits, etc. Those third-party service providers shall be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service, must protect personal information, and shall be prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
   
   2.) If you are purchasing something, we and any third party provider, need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number and expiration date. This allows us, or third party providers, to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. Credit card and e-mail information will not be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose except as provided in this Privacy Policy without your express permission.
