1.5. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology. 

The company currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related information about you with information about you in its database. Additionally, the Company may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future.

 

(a) Cookies. “ Cookies” are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we may write cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the pages of this Site. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this site again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this site; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on your interests or past viewing history; save your password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable cookies, although the Site may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept or reject all cookies or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and functionality of the Company’s websites, you need to accept cookies.

 

(b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows the Company to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits

for marketing purposes to determine products or services you may be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, Company also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in Company’s database.

 

(c) IP Addresses. The company automatically tracks certain information based on your behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol (“ IP” ) is a unique Internet “ address” which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (“ ISP” ). For local area networks (“ LAN” ), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.

 

(d) Computer Profiles. The company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For instance, Company may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings,

cookie preferences, search engine keywords, and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you.

 

(e) Data Analysis.

Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of the Company.

 

(f) NewTechnology. The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, Company strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of new technology.

 

1.6. No Information Collected from Children. 

The company will never knowingly collect any Personal Information about children under the age of 18. If the Company obtains actual knowledge that it has collected Personal Information about a child under the age of 18, that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it does not collect such information, Company has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties.

 

1.7. Credit Card Information and Bank Account Information. 

The Company may, in certain instances, collect credit card numbers, bank account information, and related information when an individual places an order on Company’s Website. When the credit card or bank account information is submitted to The Company, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. The Company will use the credit card information or bank account information for purposes of processing and completing the transaction you requested on the Website, and the credit card information or bank account information will be disclosed to third parties as necessary to complete the requested purchase transaction.

 

2.0. Use of Personal Information.

You should also note that unsubscribing from Company’s electronic mailings will not automatically

unsubscribe your information from any Third Party business associates and licensees of the data. Since Third Party associates and licensee partners maintain separate databases from Company, you will need to unsubscribe from each source individually, if desired. This allows you the freedom to pick and choose which subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.

 

2.3. Content of Email Messages. 

You may receive certain commercial email messages sent by third parties for products, which may be of interest to you. In such case, an Advertiser’s name will appear in the “ From:” and the email will have a method at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe from that Advertiser.
