Your
privacy is important to The Vendor. This statement discloses the information practices for
The Vendor's Web site, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and
with whom the information is shared.
Personal information
In
general, you can visit The Vendor on the Web without telling us who you are and without revealing any
information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you.
You
may choose to give us personal information, such as your name and address or e-mail id that may be needed, for
example, to correspond with you, to process an order or to provide you with a subscription. It is our intent to
let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you on the Internet. We provide this information
through the PRIVACY link, which is presented wherever personal information is collected. If you tell us that you
do not want us to use this information as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.
Information security and quality
We
intend to protect the quality and integrity of your personally identifiable information.
We
will make a sincere effort to respond in a timely manner to your requests to correct inaccuracies in your personal
information. To correct inaccuracies in your personal information please return the message containing the inaccuracies
to the sender with details of the correction requested.
Cookies, and other technologies
We
sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to our sites to help us provide better customer service. For
example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit and we also measure visitor activity on our web site,
but we do so in ways that keep the information anonymous. This anonymous information is sometimes known as clickstream
data. The Vendor or its analytic vendors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help
us provide better customer service.
Also,
when we collect personal data from you in connection with a transaction we may extract some information about that
transaction in an anonymous format and combine it with other anonymous information such as clickstream data. This
anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.
None of this information is reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in
this manner, you can either disable your cookies or opt-out at the request page.
We
collect the anonymous information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies,
including one called "cookies". A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser,
which may then be stored on your system. Some vendor pages may use cookies, sent by
The Vendor or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the site. You can
set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of some sites may not function
properly.
If
you turn off cookies, we will still detect anonymous visits to web pages, but the notices they generate cannot
be associated with other anonymous cookie information and are disregarded.
Personalized URL link
On
occasion, The Vendor presents a personalized URL (link) that brings the visitor to a personalized Web
page. Such a personal URL is readily identifiable and by clicking on that link and going to a personal Web page
you are agreeing to let The Vendor collect information about your session visits. We use this information
to help us provide you with information that matches your interests. If you do not wish information to be used
in this way, simply do not click on such personalized URLs.
Children's Data
The
Vendor's Web site is not directed towards children and we are committed to comply with applicable laws
and requirements, such as the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Privacy Technology
Technology
will increasingly help you to have more control over your personal information. It will also help organizations
to manage their privacy practices and policies. The
Vendor actively supports the development of privacy
technologies to help achieve these goals, and to help create greater trust and confidence in the way personal information
is handled. Products and services are available which can help give you privacy protection while navigating the
Web. See http://www.privacyalliance.org/resources/rulesntools.shtml for an overview of many privacy-related tools.
Please
note that The Vendor has not formally evaluated all of these tools.
