Information Collection
It is important for you to understand what information we collect about you during your visit and what we do with that information. Your visit to this Website is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
We can be reached calling our Customer Care line, 1.888.328.2974 V/TTY(Weekdays 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time) or by email at store@hsdc.org.
1. Information Collection and Use
We do not collect personally identifiable information (name, address, birth date, telephone number, email address, credit card information) about you, except when you provide it to us.
There are two areas of our site, where we ask you to submit personal information:
- In the checkout process, we ask for your name, address, email, credit card and other information needed to complete your order.
- In the My Account registration process, where you will be asked for your name and address.
When you submit your personally identifiable information on this Website, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of this information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information. This means, however, that you will not be able to order from our Website and will need to call to place your order.
We may use the information you provide in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent.
We may collect, store or accumulate certain non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of this Website to understand which pages you and other customers visit most.
We may disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. We may also exchange information, including personally identifiable information, with other companies and organizations for credit fraud protection and security.
2. Cookies and Log Files
We may place a "cookie" on your computer's hard drive so we can recognize you as a return user and personalize your experience. A cookie is a piece of data that enables us to track and target your preferences. The cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive until you remove it. We may also use temporary or "session" cookies to help you shop. These cookies will expire when you leave the Website. You can have your browser notify you of, or automatically reject, cookies. If you reject our cookies, you may still use our Web site, but you may be limited in the use of some of the features.
In addition, we may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our Web site, track traffic patterns, and gather demographic information for aggregate use. We will never use IP addresses in combination with your personally identifiable information outlined above. However, users should be aware that both static and dynamic IP addresses can be mapped back to users on most ISPs based on the users login time and recorded information.
3. Third Parties
We may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include web hosting companies, data analysis firms, and fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill product orders/promotions or coordinate mailings). Such third parties may be provided with access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions on our behalf.
4. Links
Occasionally we provide links to other sites we think you will enjoy. These sites operate independently of hsdcstore.com and have their own privacy and security statements. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other Websites you link to from our Web site or otherwise visit.
5. Security
We implement various security measures, including SSL encryption technology, to protect the security of your personal information, both on line and off line.
6. Notification of Changes
We may revise this Privacy Statement from time to time. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised statement here. As we may make changes at any time without notifying you, we suggest that you periodically consult this Privacy Policy.
7 . Internet Mail
When you register or place an order at this Website, you may opt-out of receiving future email communications from us. You may change your email preferences at any time by clicking Unsubscribe.

If you have an account with us, you can change your personally identifiable information at any time by clicking My Account.
