Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do NOT sell your contact information. We only share your mailing address with our shipping partners for the sole purpose of shipping your items. Those partners never have access to any confidential information, including payment information.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Pricing and Availability

All products are quoted in $US dollars. Shipping and sales tax, if applicable, will be added to your total purchase price. We make every effort possible to have our items correctly priced and have their stock quantities up-to-date, but occasionally this information may be incorrect.  If the item you ordered is out of stock, we will notify you of this.  At this point, you can choose to pick a similar item or cancel your order for a full refund.
