Privacy

Your Privacy Is Not for Sale

Simply put, we do not and will not sell your personally identifiable information to anyone, for any reason.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a secure shopping environment. We use the personal information you supply to process your order and make your shopping experience more enjoyable. By using the latest in secure transaction technologies and practicing a strict privacy policy, we strive to protect your personal information. Read on for details.

What kind of information do we collect?

We collect information at several stages during your interaction with us. When you first enter our site, we note your IP address in connection to your shopping cart and to help with administrating the site. As you browse the site, we record your zipcode via a cookie so we can serve more location specific information on your next visit.

When you buy a product, you give us contact and shipping information (like your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.) and credit information like Social Security number, date of birth, credit card and driver's license identification. We use this information to process and fulfill your order and to protect you from false purchases made in your name.

What if I am reluctant to provide information online?

Not a problem, you may contact Customer Service and give them your information through fax or via the telephone. If you elect not to provide the information necessary for a service contract, you may choose to acquire a pre-paid service agreement.

What do you do with the information?

Your contact and shipping information is given to the carriers providing your wireless service, the manufacturer making the product you purchase, the store you purchased from and Federal Express or UPS. We also work with service providers who provide services, including but not limited to web hosting, order processing and fulfillment, credit card clearance, data analysis, e-mailing and other services of an administrative nature. Your contact information is shared with such third parties exclusively for the purposes of providing such services. We require service providers to agree to use our customer data strictly for the purposes described above and to not use it for their own marketing purposes; however, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies or practices of such third parties. From time to time, we may present offers to you from trusted third party partners. If you provide us with specific instruction and consent we will provide your information to these third parties.

We use your information to follow-up on your order and to provide you updated information on our company, products and services. Your service provider and manufacturer may also send you similar information.

Our site provides the opportunity to opt-in to receive mailings without purchasing from us. All promotional newsletters have instructions on how to be removed from our mailing list or unsubscribe. Subscribers may also contact us via email. We do not collect email addresses of recipients of newsletters forwarded by We subscribers.

If you prefer not to receive correspondence from We, you may contact Customer Service with your request. If you elect not to receive information from the manufacturer of the product you bought or the service provider you selected, please note that in your correspondence. If you prefer NOT to provide personal information over the internet, please place your order directly through Customer Service through our "Order by Phone" link.

If you have placed an order with us we retain your order information for a minimum of one year. If you wish to change any of that information or request us to delete it, you may contact Customer Service email with your request. It may be necessary for us to retain your customer information for several months for chargeback purposes, should you cancel phone service with a carrier, but in any case we are able to, we will happily update or remove your data from our systems.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site, or as required by law.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, or other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
