Information we collect
Like most Web sites, our site creates "cookies" if you allow us to do so. These cookies are used to establish a unique identifier for you, so that we can correctly record things such as what items you've placed in your shopping basket from our store. We also may record the "IP" address from which you access our site for the purposes of tracking fraudulent purchases. By creating these cookies and recording your IP address, we are not learning or tracking anything about your personal information.

If you choose to purchase from us, you will provide us the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address for shipping and billing purposes. If you are paying by credit card at our Web site, you will also provide your credit card number and expiration date.

What we do with the data
If you do not purchase anything from us, we do not obtain or record any personally-identifiable information about you. Our Web server records information about your visit, but only for aggregate statistical purposes, and no personally-identifiable information is recorded.

If you do purchase something from us, we use your name and address to ship the products to you. If you pay by credit card, we also use your name, address, and credit card information to verify and charge your credit card.

Other than as necessary to validate your credit card transaction, we do not give your information to any other entity (should a court issue a subpoena, we may be required to divulge data specified in the subpoena).

How long we keep the data
Electronic credit card information that you supplied us is deleted from our computer database after 45 days from the time you purchased. We keep this information for 45 days so that we can issue you a credit should you decide to return the merchandise.
