We recognize the importance of the privacy of each and every one of our customers and want to assure you that any information we gather is used entirely for our own business needs. We do not sell or share any information that we gather either directly from you or from you on this web site. We only gather information we need to serve you better!

We fully recognize the need for security on the Internet, which is why our Internet security procedures protect all information gathered against unauthorized disclosure by removing it daily from our web site. In addition, we limit access to personally identifiable information about you to those employees who have a business purpose for access to such information such as credit verification.

When we process your order for a new computer, we do verify that you are who you state that you are. This protects us as well as you, as credit card and other frauds are increasing every day. The following information is normally collected when each order is prepared:

• Name
• Login Name
• Mailing address
• Street address if different from your mailing address
• Credit card number if a credit card is to be used
• Telephone number (home and business)
• Occupation
• The type of computer you currently own if you have one
• The type of software you currently use or intend to use
• How you logon to the Internet (type of Internet Service Provider)
• Your email program preferences

In addition, if you request access to our secure online site, we may request information that helps us keep your account secure. As an example, we may request a special logon or password clue.

We are often asked why we request this information. Simply put, fraudulent credit card use is increasing daily. Although adhering to strict policies will not prevent credit card fraud, it will substantially reduce the risk of occurrence. From time to time we call the customer shortly after an order is place at the telephone number verified by the credit card company to insure that the order has been placed by a valid credit card user.

If you have any concerns about the security of your personal information, you may write to us at the address below and your order will be processed manually. You can write to us at:

We have several affiliates with whom we do business. We do not, at any time, share any information that we have collected from our customers without written approval from our customer.

Many companies collect information from users computers while they visit their web site, some times even maliciously. We do not obtain information on-line, nor do we employ any form of malicious or secretive programs to gather information. We do track traffic flow on our web site, which may include the voluntary of a cookie to enable you to store your on-site visits for service. The "cookie" is innocuous and in no manner identifies you or your computer. This only enables us to identify which part or parts of our site have been accessed.

There are primarily two purposes for the information we gather. The first, depending upon whether or not a credit card transaction is involved, is to insure that the transaction is legitimate and does not involve a stolen credit card or pilfered credit card authorization. The second is to understand how you use your present computer if you own one and your preferences as to how we should set it up for you.
