Payment processing
TMS uses a third-party payment processor, Stripe, to process credit/debit card payments. Credit card details are securely transferred directly to Stripe for payment processing and are not stored by TMS. Stripe uses and processes personal information in accordance with their own privacy policy: https://stripe.com/us/privacy.
Cookies & Tracking
The TMS website may use cookies to store your information, retain shopping cart information, process payments via Stripe, and compile aggregate site traffic data. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
TMS uses Clicky to log and analyze website traffic. This is done using a “Unique ID” tracking cookie used for the legitimate purpose of identifying unique visitors. TMS may also record your IP address for security and fraud prevention and your username to help analyze visitor behavior. Additional information is available in Clicky’s own privacy policy: http://clicky.com/terms/privacy.

TMS does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 nor does TMS market to children.
Security
TMS maintains administrative, technical, and physical measures, including industry-standard encryption, to protect user information. Personal information is accessible by a limited number of persons with special access rights to this information. However, no website or data transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, users are also responsible for taking the appropriate steps to protect their personal information.
Third-party disclosures
Certain trusted third parties provide website development, hosting, maintenance, and other support services for TMS. These parties may have access to your personal information while providing these services. The information available to these parties is typically restricted to what is reasonably necessary for their purposes. TMS also requires these third parties to keep personal information confidential and implement reasonable security measures while accessing this data.
