This Privacy Policy is designed to communicate our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that users may provide via this site. Users should read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this site.
Your Consent
When users submit information via this site, they consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
For each visit to our Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes only the consumer's domain name or IP address, but not the e-mail address. Unless otherwise stated on our Web site, we collect only the domain name or IP address of visitors to our Web page, the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, the e-mail addresses of those who make postings to our chat areas, aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, user-specific information on what pages consumers access or visit, and information volunteered by the consumer such as survey information.
Personally identifiable information is only requested when users i) purchase goods or services from our Web site, ii) register for special content like newsletters, or iii) make an online donation to the association. No credit card information is stored on our servers.
We also collect clickstream information. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for online payments and donations. We rely on third-party providers for some of our products and services which may be advertised via our Web site. The privacy policies of those sites govern the method by which they collect and use such information.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to site visitors, customize the site based on user preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the site for users. We may at times combine personally identifiable information with passively collected information in order to personalize offers and the site for our users (For example, combined information may allow us to recommend products or features based on what users have liked in the past). For more information about cookies and other passive tracking methods discussed above, contact us here .
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via this site to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to user preferences, to communicate information to users (if they have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for any other purpose specified. We may use personally identifiable information to contact a user in relation to a transaction (e.g., we may contact a user to update her on the delivery status of an order for goods). In addition, we may make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
If users provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We also may disclose personally identifiable information users provide via this site to third parties, but only:
(i) to carefully selected partners who have offers that may be of interest to users, provided users have requested such offers, in which case we will require such partners to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes.
(ii) to contractors we use to support our business (such as fulfillment services and financial institutions), in which cases we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes.
(iv) to respond to law enforcement requests or, where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
The collection, use, and disclosure of information contemplated in this Privacy Policy may involve a transfer of the information to jurisdictions located outside your country of residence that may not have equivalent laws and rules regarding personally identifiable information. In these cases, users will be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Public Areas
Our site also has public areas such as chat rooms and message boards. Any information users share in these areas is public, so care in disclosure is advised.
Children's Guidelines
This web site is directed at adults, not children, and we do not seek to collect from children online contact information or distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information from children, or entice children to divulge information to us.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Users should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.
