The Security Of Your Personal Information
What Personal Information We Collect
As set forth in more detail below, we collect personal information that you provide when using the
Company Store web site ("Site"). This information includes your first and last name, email address and a

advantage of certain features, such as "Save for Later," "Address Book" and the other provided services.
We may ask you to confirm your personal information when you contact our Customer Service department.
This will allow us to protect your confidentiality by verifying your identity.
We do not intentionally collect personal information about children under the age of 13. If you are under
the age of 18 but at least 13 years of age, you may use this Site only under the supervision of a parent or

How We Protect the Security of Your Personal Information
The security of your personal information is very important to us. In our efforts to protect your online
transactions, we use a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is capable of SSL
(and most are), your personal information will be automatically encrypted, or encoded, before it is sent over
the Internet
Our Company Store web site provider has also obtained a digital certificate from Verisign, Inc., a leading
provider of Internet trust services. When you enter a secure portion of this Site (which is any page
containing any of your personal information), an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear in the
bottom bar of your browser window. If you click on this image, a small popup window displaying sitePage
security information will appear. This certificate guarantees that your personal information is being
transmitted in secure (encrypted) form.
Ultimately, your personal information is protected by the password you created when you created an
account on this Site (or another password you chose after changing a previous password). Please keep this
password confidential. No Customer Service Associate or any other representative will ever ask you for
your password. The confidentiality of your password is yours to protect. You may change it anytime by
going to Your Account. Log in with your email address and password, then click "Change Name, Email &
Password" and enter a new password.
How You Can Decide What Marketing Communications You Receive From Us
We may from time to time send you email messages or other forms of marketing communications
describing new items, featured merchandise, and great values. You can choose to stop receiving any
marketing emails from us at any time. Simply go to Your Account, sign in, click "Email Preferences" and
remove the check in the box next to the online email newsletter(s) you would no longer like to receive.
Please allow up to 10 days for us to process your request. If you would prefer to stop receiving other forms
of marketing communications from us, please follow the directions on the marketing materials from us or
contact our Customer Service department.
The only email messages you will receive from us when you elect not to receive marketing emails will be
to confirm any purchases you make on our Site, let you know your order has been shipped, respond to your
Customer Service inquiries and to answer any other questions you may have about our Site. In addition,
we may also need to send operational emails to inform you of any changes to our Site that might affect
your personal information, or to announce product recalls. Finally, you will receive service and reminder
emails if you register to use certain Company Store services or if you elect to participate in our Market
Research testing.
