Privacy Policy

Effective Date: Website values the users of our website. Your privacy and trust are very important to us. We recognize that you may be concerned about our collection, use, and disclosure of the personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that we collect when you use the Website and the services offered on the Website. This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect from you, how we collect this information, and what we do with it after we collect it. By using the Website you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

Personal Information

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Website's Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.

If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within Website or to third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

Website strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, we intend to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we may sometimes transfer Information from your country to other countries that may not need such a level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

We use sensitive Information basically for our own internal purposes, such as giving, maintaining, appraising, and improving the “Name of the Website/Company’s” Services and the Website, fulfilling requests for information, producing and shipping the products that you order, and providing customer support. For example, if you sign up to receive a Website newsletter, we will use the email address you provide to send you the newsletters.

We will only collect and use personal information in accordance with this privacy policy to the extent only considered necessary to help our rightful business processes, and we will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity, accuracy and privacy of the information you have provided. We will also take adequate steps to guarantee that third parties to whom we transfer any personal information will provide sufficient protection of that information.

Non-personal Information

We can also collect non-personal information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous website you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your Internet protocol (IP) Address ("Non-Personal Information"). Non-Personal Information cannot be easily used to personally identify you.

We may use Non-Personal Information to track the use of the Website and the website's Services and for other internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the Services and the Website.

Third Party Sites

If a link to a third party site is clicked, including on an advertisement, you will leave the “Name of the Website/Company” and go to the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as “Name of the Website/Company.” We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you request services. If the website you visit is of a third party that is linked to “Name of the Website/Company” you should check that site’s privacy policy before divulging any personal information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use cookies and other technologies to passively collect demographic information, personalize your experience on our site and monitor advertisements and other activities. Cookies are small files downloaded to your computer to track movements within web sites. Certain of our sites can use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and see to that you do not see the same ad often. Also, we use cookies to deliver content specific to your interest and for other purposes. We may link cookie information to personal information.

Certain of our sites use an outside ad company to display ads. These ads may contain cookies that ad companies collect, and we do not have the right of use to this information. Most browsers automatically allow cookies to be accepted whenever you visit a website. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. However some areas of our sites will not function properly if you do so.

Other technologies used include IP address logging and clear GIFs. Clear GIFs (also known as web bugs, beacons or tags) are small graphic images placed on a web page, web-based document, or in an e-mail message. Clear GIFs are not seen by the user because they are usually very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the web page, document or e-mail message. We do not use clear GIFs to collect personal information about you although we can use clear GIFs to get usage information for our web pages, features or other elements on a web page. We may correlate this information to a user to personalize user experience and for statistical analysis of user experiences on our web pages.

“Name of the Website/Company” also retains log files that contain IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. An IP address is a numeric address that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. In general, we only use log files to monitor traffic on our Web sites, to report aggregate information to our advertisers and to troubleshoot technical problems. In the event of user abuse of our websites, however, we may block certain IP addresses or console IDs provided by our approved hardware manufacturers. Console IDs and IP addresses may be linked to personal information.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. When sensitive information is entered such as your credit card number and/or social security number on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using SSL (secure socket layer technology.)

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, even though we will try all acceptable methods of protecting your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Policy

“Name of the Website/Company” encourages parents to spend time online with their children. We advise parents to teach their children not to disclose their real names, addresses or phone numbers, without permission, when using the Internet. We recognize a special obligation to protect personal information obtained from young children. Therefore, with respect to children residing in certain jurisdictions, no information should be submitted nor posted to “Name of the Website/Company’s” online sites by children 12 years of age or under. In order for children 12 years old and under in such jurisdictions to participate in online activities that require registration, we require prior written permission or other verifiable consent from a parent or guardian. Other jurisdictions may require prior written or verifiable permission or consent from a parent or guardian for children below the age of 14 or 18 years. Upon registration, the appropriate permission form will be made available. This form must be signed by the child's parent or guardian and returned to “Name of Company” by fax or mail to the Privacy Policy Administrator in the relevant country. Children 12 and under may not participate on certain of our sites. In some cases, we may not permit children under 14 or 18 years of age to participate in certain of our sites.

If parental consent is obtained, we are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity - like contests - on the child's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

If for any reason you are anxious that your child's identifiable personal information maintained by Website is not correct or complete, should you wish to have your child's personal information deleted from our records, or if you want us to discontinue further collection or use of your child's personal information, please contact your Privacy Policy Administrator who will be happy to review, update or remove your child's information as appropriate.
 

Opting out

We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your Personal Information used for certain purposes. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at contact us section. We also offer you an opportunity to opt-out of certain communications through the account management screen. If you need assistance you may contact us via mail.
