PRIVACY POLICY – COMPANY WEBSITES

Electronic Communications Privacy Act Notice (18 USC Sections 2701-2711):

Company makes no guarantee of confidentiality or privacy of any communication or information transmitted on the Site or any website linked to the Site. Company will not be liable for the privacy of email addresses, registration and identification information, disk space, communications, confidential or trade-secret information, or any other Content stored on Company’s equipment, transmitted over networks accessed by Company Website, or otherwise connected with your use of Company Website.

This Privacy Policy covers Company’s treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that Company may gather when you are accessing Company Website and when you use Company services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Company does not own or control, or to individuals that Company does not employ or manage.

The types of Personal Information collected may include your name, user name, password, email address, photograph or other likeness, purchase history, IP address, browser information and/or any other information you provide in connection with your use of Company Website. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features, if offered on Company Website. The Personal Information you provide may be used for such purposes as allowing you to interact with other users, improving the content of the Website, customizing the advertising and content you see, and communicating with you about specials and new features.

Company will make reasonable efforts to respect your privacy and will only use your Personal Information, such as your name, business address, email address or phone number, for reasonable business purposes. In order to establish a more personalized relationship with you, we may also use your Personal Information to determine what services you truly value. Company collects Personal Information when you register with Company, or when you subscribe to Company’s various services if offered, or when you visit Company’s pages or the pages of certain Company partners, or when you purchase an item from Company, and/or when you enter promotions. Company may combine your information that Company has with information Company obtains from its business partners or other companies. Company will not, without your express consent, sell its customer e-mail address list to third parties but may use our lists to notify you of special events, special offers, promotions and/or products offered by Company and by others that we think you may find worthwhile and compatible with your needs and wants.

Company will reasonably endeavor to ensure that only authorized members of Company will have access to your Personal Information, and all members of Company have been required to read and abide by our security policies whether they are authorized to access your Personal Information or not. All of our employees, contractors, licensees, members and others who may have access to, and are associated with, the processing of Personal Information, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ Personal Information. We ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to federal or state institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation

People who try and bypass security systems, or “hackers”, are often very skilled at breaking through security systems though and therefore we can make no guarantee that your information is 100% safe.

It is important to note that the Company site(s) may contain links to other sites, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Company.

These links can also be from advertisers, content providers and/or partners who may, for example, use Company’s logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement yet they may still not follow the same privacy policies as Company.

Some promotions appearing on the Company site(s) may be sponsored or co-sponsored by other companies. These companies may also choose to collect Personal Information from you. Company cannot control the privacy policies of these outside sponsors, and if you do not want your information collected by these sponsors, you should not participate in the promotion, contest or sweepstakes.

Similarly, if you post Personal Information in public places, you may receive unsolicited e-mail messages. Please think before you post any information online.
