ABOUT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND HOW IT IS USED
This
website routinely collects information about its visitors, subscribers,
members, and customers. This information is obtained in various ways,
such as:
VISITOR, SUBSCRIBER, MEMBER, OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM 'REGISTRATION'
Registration
means that the Visitor, Subscriber, Member or Customer takes active,
positive steps to communicate information to this website. This can
include pages or 'pop ups' where you register for a newsletter or
subscribe to a mailing list; it can include your participation in
visitor surveys; it can include requesting information from the website
via email, mail, or courier; it may be from joining an affiliate
program or other membership organization, paid or unpaid; it may be
from ordering a product.
Occasionally complete credit card
information may be provided to the website via fax or a fill-in form
rather than regular secure merchant service processing. This
information is kept at the highest level of security and is never
divulged to anyone except the merchant service provider or for the
purpose of communication with the customer.
ONLINE ORDERING
Online
ordering via SSL encrypted communication provided by shopping cart
services supporting merchant service companies like Visa and Master
Card provides information to the website but does not provide complete
credit card numbers. In the process of online ordering, the customer
provides, name, address, city, state, email address, phone number, CVV2
(back of card) number, and, occasionally a member password. You should
consider all this information available to the website. This
information is used to deliver the product, but under the Purchase
Agreement you also approve its use for general solicitation purposes.
VISITOR EMAIL INQUIRIES
Website
visitors who wish to communicate with the website do so under two
conditions: one, they give their permission for contact by the
website; two, they are subject to any ‘submission’ provisions of the
Terms of Use, Purchase Agreement, or this Privacy Policy. While your
email address may or may not be used to solicit you, it is added to the
website's general solicitation database.
CUSTOMER EMAIL OR TESTIMONIALS
