Additional Information

However, we may collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of visitors to our Site and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on our Site. We may use this information to monitor and improve our Site.

Use of Cookies. Our Site uses a technology called a “cookie”. A cookie is a tiny data element that our Site sends to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return to our Site. Various pages on our Site where you log in or that are customizable may require that you accept cookies. When you register with our Site, these cookies may let us know who you are and secondly, are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products to you.  Cookies are also required because they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping cart before you check out on our Site. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from our Site, this will limit the functionality that we can provide when you visit our Site.

Our Site may also use a technology called “tracer tags”, also be referred to as “Clear GIFs” or “Web Beacons”. This technology allows us to collect and evaluate which pages you visit on our Site so that we can optimize and tailor our Site for you and other future website visitors.

Security of your Personal Information.  TPC maintains administrative and technical  safeguards to protect against the unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of Personal Information that is in our control. We are committed to using reasonable technology in order to protect the security of our Site. However, even with the best technology, any website may not be 100% secure. We take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction.

Secure Shopping at TPC. When you place your order on our Site, your order information, including your credit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology allows your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent others from capturing your Personal Information. Since any order information you provide to us on our Site will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your web browser is unable to support this level of security, you may be unable to order products through our Site. Netscape Navigator™ and Microsoft Internet Explorer® both support a secure connection and either can be downloaded for free from the Netscape and Microsoft website respectively.

Passwords.  To provide you with an increased level of security, online access to your Personal Information is protected with a password. We recommend that you do not disclose your password to others. TPC will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited communication such as an unsolicited letter, phone call or e-mail.
