What Information Do We Collect?

The types of personal information that we collect from you will depend on the circumstances of collection and on the type of service you request from us. For example, when you wish to purchase a product from this website we may collect details such as your name, address, delivery address, telephone numbers, gender and other information relevant to your purchase.

Our shopping cart is hosted by our e-commerce solutions provider. They host our ordering system and collect your billing information directly from you to process your order. This company does not use this information for any other purpose.

Third Party Review Capture

We use a third party company to handle our product reviews to ensure that reviews are un-edited and unbiased by us. You will receive an email from the third party usually 5 days after your order is completed or delivered. They will only send ONE email to ask for your review. The only other instance you may receive an email from the third party is if we respond to your review or comment. This company does not use your information for any other purpose.
