Information Collection and Use
Discount Vinyl Banners 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.
Discount Vinyl Banners 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 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 stored on the user's 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 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 user's movement, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We may share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This
is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
We may 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 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.
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
we Discount Vinyl Banners are 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 & Coupons
From time-to-time our
site requests information from users via surveys or coupons. Participation
in these surveys or use of a coupon 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 and Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use
our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask
them for the friend's name and email address. Discount Vinyl
Banners will automatically send the friend a one-time email
inviting them to visit the site. Discount Vinyl Banners stores
this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
The friend may contact Discount Vinyl Banners at www.discountvinylbanners.com
to request the removal of this information from their database.
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 registration/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 unlocked,
or open, when you are just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow
this link www.discountvinylbanners.com.
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 reenter
their password to regain 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 images@net2business.com.
Site and Service Updates
We may send the user site
and service announcement updates. 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 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 user's personal data provided to us. This
can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing
our Customer Support.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under 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.
