 Information we collect from you

1. We collect two categories of information from our visitors: identifying information and non-identifying information. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with a customized, efficient user experience while using our site.
   
   Identifying Information
   Identifying information lets us know who you are. We ask for your personal information when you order products, request a written quote, enter contests or sweepstakes, apply for an open credit account, fill out surveys, and send us feedback. Examples of this category of information include your name, billing and shipping addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, credit card or other payment information, and product details. Obtaining this information allows us to fill your order or request, as well as provide you with personalized services.
   
   Non-Identifying Information
   Non-identifying information helps us to monitor our sites and our customers' browsing habits while browsing our site. We gather various details about you based on where and how you shop on our site in several ways. Examples of this information include the URL address of the website you came from (commonly called a "referer"), the path you follow through our site, information about the browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
   
   A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the global address of a document, page, or server on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer connected to a TCP/IP-based network such as the Internet... similar to a phone number, it is used to facilitate your ability to communicate with servers and other computers on the Internet. It does not necessarily identify you as an individual.

2. Where we collect information from you and how we use it
   Our primary goal in collecting either type of information is to provide our visitors with an efficient, personalized online experience.
   
   In regards to identifying information, we use it to fill orders and requests, contact purchasers to inform them of their order status, to send promotional information (upon request), to enhance the operation of our site and administer our systems.
   
   We review the browsing habits of our visitors on an aggregate basis to determine our customers' preferences - whether we can make changes to make your shopping experience quicker, easier, or to make other improvements.
