IP Address Use
As with all web sites, our
server logs all traffic by the IP address of each user. This
information is used by our technical support staff for server
administration and broad demographic reporting.
Cookies
This Web site does use
"good" cookies. These are safe -- we are not spying on you. Fundamentally, cookies are small data files your Web browser uses to help sites remember who you are. They were invented by Netscape over a decade ago to make Web surfing motre efficient.
Web commerce sites use cookies to enable shopping carts. Without them, you would have to complete a purchase before buying a second item. We also use cookies to make sure our Affiliates are paid 10% when shoppers
enter through their Web site.
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous
unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a web site's
computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can
send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow
it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site
to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent
to you by other sites. Learn a LOT more about Yahoo
and cookies.
Personal Information
You are only asked for
personal information at checkout. The information you provide is used in
the following way:
- Name and Address.
This information is used as defaults for billing and shipping
information during the checkout process. We also use this information
to confirm the identification of callers when calling in to return
items.
- Telephone Number. This information is used to
contact a customer if an urgent problem arises with their order, for
calling back customers to our service department in case of
disconnection, and for caller identification.
- E-mail Address:
This is the unique identifier for each customer and is used by
customers with the password to gain access to their personal and sales
information. It is also used during order processing to notify
customers of order status and customer service issues.
- Shipping and Billing
Address Information. This
information is used for processing orders and is saved with each order
as a "receipt". You view all previous orders by logging on using your
e-mail Address and Password.
- Order Information.
This includes item, price, shipping, and tax information. This
information can be used elsewhere in the system to provide references
to other customers (e.g., "Those who purchased this item also
bought...").
- Credit Card Information.
The type of card, name, number, and expiration date are required
during the "Final Purchase" stage of order processing and are sent to
our credit card processor for authorization and posting. When we
receive an authorization number in return, the credit card information
is discarded and the authorization number is saved with the rest of
the order information.
All of the information
discussed above is not shared, given, or sold to anyone outside our
organization. But see the Yahoo! Store Privacy Policy at the beginning
of this page for more information.
Notifications
This site will notify
customers about the status of orders they have placed or returns.
Customers may ask to be notified of special or new offerings that might

any such non-essential notifications.
