This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personal Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online.

Information Collection

We utilize Google Analytics to collect insights about site usage. Google Analytics tracks metrics such as visit frequency, page visits, and the previous sites users visited before landing on our platform. This information is used solely for site enhancement. Google Analytics captures your IP address on the date of your visit but does not gather your name or other identifiable particulars. We don't combine Google Analytics data with personal identifiable information. 

When you request a quote on the site or place an order with one of our associates, we may ask for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other relevant details necessary for executing the order.

We employ cookies to tailor the website experience for returning visitors. You are not obligated to allow these cookies for standard site usage. Additionally, third-party widgets, like YouTube, might utilize cookies based on their settings. The acceptance of cookies is only required for authenticating existing customers logging into their accounts.

Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie to recognize you upon return visits. Only Google can access this cookie. Google's usage and sharing of data from Google Analytics are confined by their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You can disable Google Analytics from recognizing you on subsequent visits by adjusting cookie settings in your browser.
