PointeWare Privacy Policy
We
know that you care how your information is used, and we appreciate your trust
that we will use it carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy
policy. By visiting us, you are accepting the privacy policy described below.
1.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
- Information
You Provide - We receive and store information you enter. For example,
when you search for or buy a product or service, or when you supply information
such as your address, phone number or credit card. You can choose not to
provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage
of some of our features. We use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, providing access to web services,
improving our web site, and communicating with you.
- Cookies
- Unlike like many web sites, we DO NOT use "cookies".
- Other Information
- Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses
of computers used to visit this site are noted. In addition, we automatically
collect other information such as email addresses, browser types, operating
systems, and the URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site.
- Information
from Other Sources - We might receive information about you from
other sources and add it to our account information. This may include updated
delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that
we can correct our records and provide you with the highest level of service
possible.
2. How Do We Use
Your Information?
- Customized Service
- We use your information to better serve you by providing a customized experience.
As noted above, you may “opt-out” of this customization.
- Agents
- We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and
processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Business Transfers
- As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets.
In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred
business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that we are acquired, customer
information will be one of the transferred assets.
- Law Enforcement
- If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal
information then we will comply with the law. We will also release information
when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection
and credit risk reduction.
3. How Do We Protect
the Security of Your Information?
- We work to protect the
security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software, which encrypts credit card information you input.
- We use encryption to
protect your information contained in our customer list.
- We use a firewall to
protect against unlawful intrusion.
- We limit access to your
information on a “need to know” basis.
- We reveal only the
last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of
course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit
card company during order processing.
- It is important for
you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
- No system can guarantee
absolute security, just as the finest lock can not guarantee physical security.
However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your data is secure.
4. Children
We do not sell products
or services to children. If you are under 18, you may use this site only with
involvement of a parent or guardian.
5. Other Web sites
Various Web sites may
be linked to from this site. If you link to another site, your privacy depends
on the policy of that site. We strongly urge you to check their privacy policy.
Not all sites guarantee that they will not share your personally identifiable
information with others. You may also wish to consult privacy guidelines such
as those recommended by the Online Privacy Alliance (www.privacyalliance.org).
