Information Automatically Collected

Our Site is hosted by Shopify Inc., which is governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service. As is standard practice for most websites, Shopify automatically collects certain information related to your use of our Site. This is done so that we can analyze the performance of our Site and make improvements to it. For example, when visiting our Site, Shopify may collect your internet protocol (IP) address, your computer operating system type, your browser type, the pages you visit on our Site, the time you visit, and the Internet address of a referring website, if any.

Cookies
Our website host Shopify Inc. uses "cookies" on our Site. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies enable the website to recognize your computer when future visits are made. Cookies help us improve your access to our Site, and provide us with information which we can use to improve our Site. For example, we may use cookies to see which parts of our Site people use and like and to count visits to our Site.

You may choose to browse our Site without accepting cookies. Cookies can typically be rejected or removed with your browser settings. Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. If cookies are disabled, it could affect how our Site works for you.

Tracking Technologies used by Third-Party Services
Our Site uses select third-party services to provide useful features such as online shopping, mailing list sign-up and maintenance, social networking tools, and website usage analytics. These third-party services may use their own cookies, web beacons* and other tracking technologies. Each of these third-party services is governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service.

Tracking Technologies used in Our Marketing Emails
We use MailChimp to send marketing emails to our mailing list subscribers, and to maintain the mailing list itself. MailChimp uses its own tracking technologies including web beacons. A web beacon, which is also known as an open tracker graphic, tells us if a person opens an email we have sent to them. Open tracking, along with click tracking, helps us determine which of our emails are most popular, what content is of interest, and what is not. Knowing this information assists us in delivering messages that our subscribers want to read.

Like all other third-party services used by our Site, Mailchimp is governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service.

*A web beacon is a tiny object which is usually transparent and is embedded in a web page or email. This technology is used to track a user's interaction with a website or email. For example, web beacons may be used to count website visitors and to learn what the most popular areas of a website or email are. Such information can be used to improve and optimize a website or email for future users.

Our Site offers two checkout methods which both use industry standard data encryption: Shopify and PayPal. Our Shopify checkout (powered by Stripe) accepts credit cards; our PayPal checkout accepts PayPal account payments as well as credit cards.

Please note: When you submit your order, we only receive your name, postal address, email address, and phone number.

If you have a Shopify or PayPal account, both companies DO NOT share your password or login information with us.

Our Site is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. At Shopify, your encrypted purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
