PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When you make a purchase, create an account, register for our electronic mailing list, or communicate with customer service, we ask that you provide us with certain personal information, which may include the following: first and last name, birthdate, gender, email address, telephone number, postal address, and credit card payment information (“Personally Identifiable Information”).

To make changes to this information see the section below titled "Process for Changing Your Information."
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. You can help protect your information by creating a strong password to access your online account and by accessing your account only through a personal computer or device, as opposed to public computers or means.
Before entering any credit card or payment information, you should look for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or confirm that the webpage address begins with "https." At no time will a representative of CHAADS ask for sensitive credit card payment information via email. When placing an order, you can delete your credit card details on your account by unchecking the box "keep this card on file" on the payment page. By doing this, your credit card information will not be saved on your profile the next time you log on to your account.
