Your privacy is very important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way we collect and use your information. Your use of the Site constitutes an agreement to these information practices. In this policy, “Personal Information” is defined as data and facts about you that we collect.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
This policy applies to all information collected by or submitted to us on a Site. In some areas of a Site, you can order products, make requests, submit product reviews, and register to receive materials or communications from us. The types of Personal Information collected on these Sites are:
- Name
- Address
- Email address
- Phone number
- Credit/Debit card information
- Transaction Information
THE WAY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information is generally kept for our use in assisting you in your current or future purchases or in analyzing sales trends. We do not sell, rent or provide your “Personal Information” to third parties, except as described below.
Our use of Personal Information: We use Personal Information that you provide when placing an order primarily to complete that order. Personal Information from the order form is used to send orders, information about our company, and promotional material from some of our partners to you. Personal Information is also used to get in touch with you when necessary. We sometimes use online surveys which ask you to voluntarily submit your Personal Information which usually includes contact information (typically your email address) and demographic information (like your zip code, age, or income level). If you choose to submit this Personal Information, we use it to send you promotional material.
We periodically run contests on the Sites in which we ask you to voluntarily submit selected Personal Information such as contact information (typically your email address) and demographic information (like your zip code, age, or income level). If you choose to submit this Personal Information, we use it to send you our promotional material and at times, send it to some of our partners. Your Personal Information is also used to contact you when necessary (i.e. if you win a contest).
Demographic and profile data is also collected on the Site. We use this information to tailor your experience on the Site, showing you content that we think you might be interested in, and display the content according to your preferences.
Our sharing of Personal Information with third parties:
We may share Personal Information with a third party with your consent. For example, you have the option to enroll in PayPal Credit (formerly Bill Me Later), which is an independent third-party payment service. If you choose to enroll in PayPal Credit, we will share your email address with PayPal Credit to facilitate the enrollment process. PayPal Credit’s subsequent use of this Personal Information will be governed by PayPal Credit’s Privacy Policy, available by following the link to “Terms and Conditions” at www.billmelater.com.
We may provide Personal Information to affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing it on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process your Personal Information based on our instructions and in compliance with both this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These third parties may only use your Personal Information to the extent required to perform their services on our behalf.
We may provide Personal Information to third parties or marketers for their marketing purposes. We never provide your entire credit card or debit card numbers to any of these third parties or marketers, but may provide the last four digits of those numbers to a third party or marketer to aid those third parties or marketers in differentiating individuals from one another.
We may buy or sell subsidiaries or business units. Generally, in these transactions, customer information (including Personal Information) is a transferred asset. That information will remain subject to the then-existing Privacy Policy until or unless you provide consent for any updated use of your Personal Information.
We may share Personal Information to the extent required by legal process or enforceable governmental request.
We may share Personal Information with third parties to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues. These third parties may place and read cookies on your browsers, or may use web beacons or similar technologies to collect information in connection with the Google Trusted Merchant Program.
EXTERNAL LINKS
This site contains links to other sites. This Policy applies to our Sites only. We do not exercise control over the privacy practices or content of any of the external links contained on the Site. These external links may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data, or solicit personal information from you, and are governed by their respective privacy policies and legal notices.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. For example, we work to protect the security of your Personal Information whenever it is transmitted by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information a user inputs.
We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing, using commercially reasonable security measures.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and computer. You should be sure to sign off after using a shared computer.
You also have the option to access the Site from your mobile or wireless device. When using a mobile device or a wireless network, depending on your carrier or network administrator’s policies (over which we have no control), the carrier or network administrator may have access to your Personal Information. For information regarding your carrier or network administrator’s treatment of Personal Information, you should consult your carrier or network administrator’s privacy policies.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may change or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide current customers and registered users with a revised notice that describes our new practices or a link to the new privacy policy. Stylistic changes will be publicized via notice on the Sites.
