When you shop and place orders on our site, all personal information that you share with us remains completely confidential. As part of our personalized service, we use cookies that will help make your future visits to our site more convenient for you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Portions of this site require that you accept cookies. These cookies only store the preferences you have made, and make it easier for you to navigate our site. You can choose (within your browser) to require permission before each cookie is written to your hard drive, but you must accept cookies to use portions of our site.
We are committed to protecting all of the information we collect and the privacy of every individual who experiences our web site. When you are on our site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information only with us. No such information is sold or shared with any other non-affiliated company or organization without your expressed permission. We may periodically send you information about our products or our charitable work, but you may always "opt out" of receiving any such e-mail communication by replying with the word "remove" in the subject line. If you do not wish to receive postal mail from us, you may request removal from such mailings by sending us an e-mail.
We take great pains to maintain the confidentiality of your personal financial information. All credit card transactions take place in a secure section of our site in order to protect you from any theft or misuse of such information. We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the recognized e-commerce standard, to process your order. The SSL encrypts your order into an indecipherable code that is rapidly processed. When you complete your order and begin the process of checking out, you will be taken to the secure area of our site. A warning window may pop up on your screen, alerting you that you are about to enter a secure area. Once you have entered, the page address will change from http to https, which signals that you are in a safe area. A closed lock or key will also appear in the lower corner of your screen, as further assurance. You will remain in this secure area for the entire checkout process.
