Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is pretty simple. Here is the short version:

We do not sell your names or your personal information.

We only share the information we absolutely need to in order to fulfill your orders.  For example, we have to share your information with our credit card processor, or they can’t pay us.  We have to share information with the Post Office, or they can’t deliver your package.  

We send out one email newsletter per month (roughly) containing information about our new products, and any specials we may be running.  You may opt out of that list at any time, by following the instructions at the end of the email or by filling out this form, and putting the word unsubscribe in the subject line.

Ok – here is the longer version that our lawyers like
