Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy.
Our Privacy Policy reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of integrity while providing top-tier products and services to our valued customers and partners. This policy is designed to help you comprehend how we collect, utilize, and safeguard the personal information you furnish to us, as well as other data we may gather through your use of our website. It aims to empower you in making informed decisions while navigating our website and accessing our products and services. Please note that we will periodically review and potentially revise this statement in response to emerging technologies, evolving business practices, customer requirements, and legal developments (refer to the "Your Consent" section below).
What Information Do We Collect?
When you explore our website, you have the option to provide us with two categories of information: personal information that you willingly disclose on an individual basis, and website usage data collected on an aggregated basis as you and others browse our site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you decide to purchase products or services from us or our partners, you may be required to furnish personal information and grant authorization for us to acquire data from various credit services. For instance, this could include providing the following details:
Name
Mailing address
E-mail address
Credit card number
Home and business phone and/or fax numbers
Other personal information (e.g., mother's maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to the above, if you choose to engage in further correspondence with us via email, we may retain the content of your email messages along with your email address and our responses. The same safeguards applied to physical mail and telephone information are extended to these electronic communications.
2. Website Use Information
Similar to many other commercial websites, our site may employ a standard technology known as "cookies" (explained further in the "What are Cookies?" section) and web server logs to gather data about how our website is utilized. Information collected through cookies and web server logs may encompass visit timestamps, viewed pages, time spent on our website, and the websites visited immediately before and after your visit to our site.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that enables web servers to recognize the device used to access a website. These are small data pieces stored by a user's web browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer, on their hard drive. Cookies can remember information accessed on one web page, streamlining interactions with the same website or simplifying transactions across related pages. They enhance the online experience, making it more convenient and personalized.
How Do We Use the Information We Obtain?
In general, we employ personal and other information collected through your website usage to manage our business activities, deliver customer service, offer products and services to our customers and potential customers, and enhance our website's functionality. When you provide us with personal information, we may merge it with data from your website interactions and other sources to optimize the user experience and continually improve our website to meet your needs. Occasionally, we may also use this information to inform you about important website changes, new services, and valuable special offers. Lists used for sending product and service offers adhere to our established corporate standards, safeguarding the security and privacy of our customers' personal information. If you prefer not to receive such offers, please notify us via the email addresses provided on our Contact Us page.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners.
We may establish strategic marketing alliances or other business partnerships with third parties who may access your personal information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email, to provide you with information about products and services we believe may interest you. In these partnerships, we retain full ownership rights over the information. As a customer, you can notify us of your desire to refrain from sharing such information with third parties by using the email addresses provided on our Contact Us page.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you transmit confidential personal credit card information through our website, our secure server software, which we have licensed, encrypts all data before sending it to us. This information remains encrypted during transit and is decoded once it reaches our website.
Other emails sent to us may not be secure unless we specify the implementation of security measures before you transmit the information. Consequently, we advise against sending confidential information such as social security or account numbers via unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
1. Information Security: We employ encryption and security software to safeguard the confidentiality of collected personal information, protecting it from unauthorized access, disclosure, accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.
2. Evaluation of Information Protection Practices: Periodically, we review our operations and business practices to ensure compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing information security, confidentiality, and quality.
3. Employee Access, Training, and Expectations: Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies, and practices prioritize customer information protection. Generally, our business practices restrict employee access to confidential information, limiting its use and disclosure to authorized individuals, processes, and transactions.
4. How Can You Access and Correct Your Information? You may request access to all your personally identifiable online information collected and maintained in our database by emailing us using the addresses listed on our Contact Us page.
5. What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? We may disclose information when legally obligated to do so, i.e., when we believe in good faith that the law mandates it or when required to safeguard our legal rights.
6. What About Other Websites Linked to Our Website? We are not responsible for the practices of websites linked to or from our site, nor the information or content they contain. Often, we provide links to other websites as informational pointers. Please note that our Privacy Policy no longer applies when you navigate from our site to another. Your interactions on other websites, including those linked from our site, are governed by their own rules and policies. We recommend reviewing their policies before using such websites.
Your Consent.
By utilizing our website, you express your consent to our collection and utilization of information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, which may change over time. If we revise our privacy policies and procedures, we will post the updated Privacy Policy, including any alterations, on our website. You can reference the version date of the Privacy Policy on our site for your convenience and future comparison with any potential future changes.
