The Company’s Privacy Policy (and any revisions thereto) is designed

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
You may browse most of our Web site without providing us with any personal
information about yourself. However, in order to download our product brochures,
we request that you provide your personal information, including your name,
address, e-mail address, and telephone number. We will then email you a
username and password to access the requested brochure.
Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software
that is or may be collected by us. This information can include without limitation
your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web
site addresses, but is not linked to your personal information. This data
is used to manage the Web site, track usage and improve the Web site services.
SHARING OF INFORMATION
The privacy of individual user data is always respected and protected. We
will never disclose, sell, or rent personal information that identifies
any of our users without specific authorization to do so. We do not and
will not disclose your identity in any statistical reports or analyses
distributed to third parties.
MARKETING
From time to time, we may use your personal information to send you informational
and marketing literature about our company by email. If you have received
a promotional email from us and do not wish to receive future emails, please
contact us at: 310-922-1481.
BUSINESS TRANSFERS
As we continue to develop our business, we might form, sell or buy subsidiaries
or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally
is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises
made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer
consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that we sell substantially
all of its assets or stock, customer information will of course be one
of the transferred assets.
LEGAL REQUESTS
We release personal information when we believe such release is appropriate
to comply with the law or enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and
other terms and conditions or protect the rights, property, or safety of
the Web site, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction. Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot
ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information
will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing,
or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers
for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this
Privacy Policy.
CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13
The Company does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information
from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register
on the Website. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about
yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email
address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information
to The Company. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal
information from a child under age 13 we will delete that information as
quickly as possible.
CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND 18
The Company does recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask
their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves
over the Internet.
SECURITY
Although no use of the Internet is 100% secure, we work to protect
the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We use
reasonable measures to protect user information that is stored within our
database, and we restrict access to user information to those employees
who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service
personnel and technical staff. Please note that we cannot guarantee the
security of user information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software
failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information
at any time. For any additional information about the security measures
we use on the Web site, please contact us at 310-922-1481.
EXTERNAL LINKS
The Web site may contain links to other web sites. We of course
are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other
web sites. When linking to another web site we encourage our users to read
the privacy policy stated on each and every web site. This Privacy Policy
only governs information collected on the Website.
