SW&M does not share information about users with third parties except (i) with SW&M’s service providers to the extent necessary for SW&M’s internal operations; (ii) to complete transactions initiated by users (including with credit card processing vendors); and (iii) as otherwise required by law. Before entering into relationships with third party service providers, we require them to agree to safeguard personal information and other sensitive information and to comply with applicable privacy laws.

Users engaging in transactions on the Site may submit personally identifiable information, including their name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card information.

- Cookies. The Site may use cookies to store and help track information about you. Cookies are small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
