Privacy StatementInformation Collection and Use
Information Solutions, Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement. Information Solutions, Inc. collects
information from our users at several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customers orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the users hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply
terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have
to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the
user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user
will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly
Drawings that may take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person. We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs
up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that
is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not
allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Information Solutions, Inc.
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the
user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used
to notify the winners, award prizes, and inform participants of occasional special offers and/or new products/services offered by SiteRecon.
Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online
and off-line.
When our 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 best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are
just "surfing". While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when
they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added,
our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers information is protected. Finally, the servers that we
store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to
webmaster@siterecon.com
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is
necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party
sources. For example, to determine if our customers qualify for one of our credit cards,
we use their name and social security number to request a credit report. Once we determine
a users credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special
deals, 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.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to
un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a users personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct,
update or remove that users personal data provided to us. This can be done by e-mailing
Information Solutions, Inc. at info@siterecon.com.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an "opt-out" mechanism so users
who buy a product from us, but dont want any marketing material, can keep their
email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our
partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe
in the subject line in the email or email us at info@siterecon.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by
any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether
they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Home Page so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
