This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest and customize the experience for individual use. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as license and certification numbers) but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

We request information from the user on our payment form. A user must provide contact information (like name and address) and financial information (like credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to verify the information with the user. All financial transactions are encrypted and processed using SSL technology.
