As you might expect from us, the majority of information that wecollect is obtained through the Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only tothat online collection of personal information. We also may collect informationoffline, where we also try to protect the privacy of your personal information.One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions.When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need inorder to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to storeinformation (such as order information), we will enter it into our databasethrough SSL encryption. (See the Data Security section above for moreinformation). Another example involves faxes. If you fax something to us, wewill act upon the fax and then either store it a locked repository or we willshred the fax if there is no need to retain the information. There are other wayswe could learn of personal information offline (for example, we suppose someonecould send us a letter including some return address information), and thisPolicy doesn't discuss or try to predict all of those methods or uses. As wementioned, we will try to treat offline collection, uses, and disclosuresconsistently with our relevant online practices.
