Your privacy is very important to us. We have prepared this privacy notice so that we can better communicate our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. This policy is linked from the footer of every page on our website to make it easy to find.
The Information We Collect
-
Personal Information You Supply
At various points on our website, we may expressly ask you to supply us with information in order to provide you a service, or allow us to contact you in the future. This collection is always completely voluntary. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, collecting billing, shipping, and payment information to make an online purchase, or name and email information to sign up for an online newsletter. -
Automatically Collected Information
Our web server automatically collects aggregate information about the visitors to our website. Our server logs contain the IP address of the computer visiting, the date, the files requested, and the type of platform making the request. It also collects the referring information passed to the website by the previous website. This information is the basis for statistics that allow us to better serve our visitors and meet their needs. While we collect IP addresses for aggregate analytics, we do not directly link them to specific named individuals.Similar to most websites, we may also place a small bit of code, called a cookie, on your computer to help us determine in aggregate how many return visitors we have to the website. If you create a user account with us, we may also use a cookie to allow you to avoid entering your username and password each time you visit the website. Lastly, we also use session cookies, which expire the moment you leave the website to identify an individual as they pass from page to page so that we may maintain variables such as the items in your shopping cart.

Third-Party Tracking and Tools
The website may contain third-party systems to provide additional tracking and services to allow us to monitor the website, provide an excellent interface, and otherwise provide statistics on various website components. Examples include services such as Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, among others.
The way we use information
We use the aggregate information collected to better tailor our website to meet the needs of our visitors, such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed, the pages most visited, and from what sites they arrived.
The information we collect will be used to accomplish the appropriate task. For example, information collected surrounding the placement of an online order will be used to fill that order. Information collected for an email newsletter will be used to periodically send you an email that contains our online newsletter.
Additionally, we may use the information to contact you in the future about offers that we feel you may enjoy; however, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
We never sell, rent, or lease your information to any outside parties without your express consent.

Children under the age of 13

Links to outside websites
Our website may contain links to outside websites that are outside of our control. These websites may have a different policy in regards to privacy and thus we cannot be responsible for their actions and business practices. If you are in doubt or have any concerns, look for the privacy policy on their website.
