When you order from us, we ask for your credit card number and billing address. We use this information only to bill you for the product-s- you order at that time. For your convenience, we do save billing information in case you want to order from us again, but we do not use this information again without your permission.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
