Privacy Policy
We pride ourselves in maintaining the privacy of our client’s information. Here is some information to help you understand the steps we take to ensure privacy.
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for this website. This website has agreed to notify you of:
- what personally identifiable information about you or any third party is collected from you through the website;
- 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 Choice Advisor’s control;
- how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
If you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you should contact the Privacy Coordinator by email.
ChoiceAdvisor.net 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. ChoiceAdvisor [dot] net collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the customer on our order form, where our customers must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this information will be used to contact the customer. Once an order is processed, all financial information is removed from our databases.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies may used on the CHOICEADVISOR.NET website.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track popular web pages, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We do not share demographic information with others.
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.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that ChoiceAdvisor [dot] net 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 website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
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 forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number, address information, email address), 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 Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, 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 their password to gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. 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 on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. Credit card information is removed from our database once orders have been billed.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to the privacy director.
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. You may email or phone our Customer Support to do this.
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 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.
