Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect,
use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you
in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.
This statement will be periodically assessed against new technologies, business
practices and our customers’ needs.
What Information Do We Collect? When you visit our Web site you
may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use
information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web
site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
If you choose to request additional information regarding our products and
services or purchase products or services from us, you may need to provide personal
information. For example, you may need to provide the following information:
name, business name, business mailing address, Email address, and business phone
numbers
Email Information: In addition to providing the foregoing information, if you
choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the content of
your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We
provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web
site utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below,
“What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our
Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web
site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is
associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available other
products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes
to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed
and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our customers’ personal information.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software
that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the
user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one
Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user
or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related Web
pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to
complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your
online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? We use Web
site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to gather
information about our Web site users’ browsing activities, in order to
constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This information
assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most user friendly manner
and to continually improve our Web site to better meet the needs of our
customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our Web
site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count
how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor capacity.
We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any
personally identifying information about you.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions? When you send confidential
information to us on our Web site, a secure server software which we have
licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The
information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that
security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information.
For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information to us
through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard
the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access
or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices. Periodically, our operations
and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and
procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our
information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values, ethical
standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer
information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to
confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information
to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties? We do not provide
aggregate or individual information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic patterns and
related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third parties.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? We may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good
faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal
rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site? We are not responsible for
the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the
information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are
provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the
users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another
Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and
interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our
Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies. Please read over
those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent. By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of
your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our
privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to
keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances we may disclose it.
