This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for our
website We are committed to protecting your privacy and encourage you to
periodically review this page to be informed of how we protect the
information you disclose to us.
Information Collection and Use our website collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form when making a
purchase. Here is where a user must provide their contact information,
like name and shipping address, and financial information, like credit
card number and expiration date. This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill the customer's order. If we have difficulty
processing an order, this contact information is used to communicate
with the customer.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. We use both session and persistent cookies.
Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users in the
aggregate by analyzing popular areas and products to enhance future
experiences on our site. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer
systems or files, and only the web site that transferred a particular
cookie to you can read, modify or delete such cookie. If you do not want
information collected through the use of cookies, there are simple
procedures in most browsers that allow you to delete existing cookies,
to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining
or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to your computer.
Aggregate Information
We uses aggregate information from demographic surveys, traffic patterns
and IP addresses to customize our site. Aggregate information is
occasionally shared with third parties for purposes such as planning or
executing advertising or promotions.
Catalog, Newsletters etc.
If a user wishes to subscribe to our catalog, newsletter, etc., we ask
for contact information such as name, street address and e-mail address
to provide these communications. Because we respect our users' privacy,
we provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the
choice and opt-out section below.
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service
related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily
suspended for maintenance we might send you an e-mail. Generally, users
may not opt-out of these communications, though you can deactivate your
account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
Security
We takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the Secure Socket Layers (SSLs)
encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, a
lock icon appears on the bottom of your Web browser. When you are not on
a secure page, no lock icon will appear. In addition, the servers that
we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure
environment under restricted access. However, security systems are not
infallible, including encryption systems. While we use reasonable
efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its
absolute security.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, send us an e-mail for more info.
Supplementation of Information
In order for our website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we
receive with information from third party sources such as our affiliated
websites. For example, in order for Ebay.com to enhance our ability to
tailor the site to an individual's preference, we combine information
about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our
affiliated sites. When a user makes a purchase from any of these
companies, the companies collect and share that purchase information
with us so we can tailor the site to our users' preferences.
Special Offers
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special offers and a newsletter. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types
of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your
zip code, phone, e-mail or postal address), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or
delete/deactivate that user's personally identifiable information
provided to us. This can be done by using the unsubscribe feature in our
communication.
Choice/Opt-Out
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional materials may opt-out of
receiving these communications by using the unsubscribe feature in our
e-mail.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy, and any of our
policies or procedures concerning the treatment of information collected
through the site, without prior notice. You can determine when this
privacy policy was last revised by referring to date at the top of this
page. Any changes to our privacy policy will become effective upon
posting of the revised policy on the Internet, accessible through the
site. Use of the site following such changes constitutes your acceptance
of the revised policy then in effect. We encourage you to periodically
review our privacy policy to ensure familiarity with our most current
version.
