Cookies

We, and third parties with whom we partner (for example PayPal for payments), may use cookies, web beacons, local shared objects (sometimes called "flash cookies"), and similar technology in connection with your use of the Site ("Cookies").

Third parties

We may share information about you with third parties as follows:

Service Providers: We may share basic information with PayPal to enable payments by you for products or services we provide.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
