Philotronix LLC - Privacy Statement
Philotronix LLC respects your privacy and security. We want to make use of
any information you give us in order to provide you with the best possible
online experience. We have written this privacy statement to inform you of:
- What personally identifiable information of yours or third party
personally identification is collected from you through the web site.
- The organization collecting the information.
- How the information is used.
- With whom the information may be shared.
- What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and
distribution of the information.
- The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss,
misuse or alteration of information under our control.
- How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
Information Collection and Uses
Philotronix LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any way
other that what is disclosed in this statement. Philotronix LLC collects
information from our users at several different points on our website
Registration
Although not required for all services offered, a better user experience may
be provided if the user registers with some personally identifying
information. During registration a user is required to give their contact
information (such as name and email address). This information may be used to
contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest.
Orders
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 customer's 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 containing information about the user that is
stored on the user's hard drive. A cookie can contain information such as a
user identification code that the site uses to personalize the web experience,
but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie
data created by other sites.
A user may set their browser to refuse all cookies, or to warn before
accepting cookies and thereby refuse individual cookies. If a user rejects the
cookie(s), they may still use our site. The only drawback is that the user
may be limited in some areas of our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners. This is
not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for
services. This company does not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We may 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.
We have no control of these other parties and are not responsible for their
actions.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
Philotronix LLC 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.
Newsletters
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Security
Philotronix LLC is committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect the
individual identifying information that you provide to us. When our secure
order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number), that information is encrypted and protected with the standard
encryption 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, when
you are '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. All
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. 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. If you have any questions about the security at our website, feel
free to contact us.
Special Offers
Established users of our website 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.
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 user's personally identifiable information changes (such as phone
number), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to
provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided
to us. This can be done at the user profile page.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
this webpage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under certain circumstances, if 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 would 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.
