Scope
of the Policy
The policies and procedures detailed here apply to transactions
made both on our web site and transactions made off line.
The
Information We Collect
This notice of disclosure regarding our information collection
policies applies to all information collected or submitted
on our web site
-
IP Addresses and Header Information
Our servers, like all those on the World Wide Web, log
information site-wide regarding each visitor's IP address
and/or domain name. This information is contained in what
is called an HTTP Header, and is passed to us each time
you request a page or image from one of our sites. There
is no personal information gathered by us or passed to
us by the HTTP header.
-
Personal Information
In general, you can visit us online without telling us
who you are or providing us with any information. We do
collect personal identifiable information (PII) about
consumers, however, through a variety of forms and e-Mail
links on our web site. These resources help you get in
touch with us to order products and obtain information,
among other things.
-
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that you may allow us (via
your web browser settings) to place on your hard drive.
It does not endanger your privacy, your computer or the
personal information stored there. Cookies are perfectly
harmless and no web server on the Internet can retrieve
cookie information unless it is the one that put it there.
The Way We Use Information
Now that we have discussed the information that we collect
about you, we would like to explain what we do with it all.
-
IP Addresses and Header Information
Although the information passed to us in an HTTP header
is of a non-personal nature, many of the things we can
track are vital to our ability to bring you a high quality
web site that you can enjoy and navigate easily. For example,
we may use the information we gather from headers as a
temporary identifier to store the history of
the visit. We may also compile and use the data in the
HTTP header and the IP address for marketing and strategic
planning purposes.
-
Personal Information
If a visitor e-Mails us regarding an issue, we will reply
to the e-Mail with the intention of providing the information
requested by the visitor. If a visitor fills out one of
our forms regarding a question or request for information,
we will reply to the request via e-Mail or phone. At no
time will we sell or use your personal information for
any other purpose whatsoever without also providing you
an opportunity to opt out of or otherwise prohibit such
unrelated uses. For details of our policy regarding acceptable
uses of visitor e-Mail addresses, please see the Customer
E-mail Policy below.
-
Cookies
We may use cookie technology to recognize a returning
visitor and maintain the visitor's individual settings,
if applicable.
Customer E-mail Policy
One of the most widely discussed facets of online privacy
deals with unsolicited e-Mail messages known as SPAM. We do
not SPAM our customers and recognize that it is a harmful
and unwanted nuisance. We may, however, e-Mail our customers
in response to requests for services and information. We may
also periodically update our customers on our products and
services. |
