Like many websites, we use

How do we protect visitor information?
|
|
|
|
We implement a variety of security
measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information. Your personal
information is contained behind secured
networks and is only accessible by a
limited number of persons who have
special access rights to such systems,
and are required to keep the information
confidential. When you place orders or
access your personal information, we
offer the use of a secure server. All
sensitive/credit information you supply
is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted into our
databases to be only accessed as stated
above. |
| |
|
|
|
Do we use "cookies"?
|
|
|
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site
or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard drive through your
Web browser (if you allow) that enables
the site's or service provider's systems
to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. For
instance, we use cookies to help us
remember and process the items in your
shopping cart. They are also used to
help us understand your preferences
based on previous or current site
activity, which enables us to provide
you with improved services. We also use
cookies to help us compile aggregate
data about site traffic and site
interaction so that we can offer better
site experiences and tools in the
future.
We may contract with third-party service
providers to assist us in better
understanding our site visitors. These
service providers are not permitted to
use the information collected on our
behalf except to help us conduct and
improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer
warn you each time a cookie is being
sent, or you can choose to turn off all
cookies. You do this through your
browser (like Netscape Navigator or
Internet Explorer) settings. Each
browser is a little different, so look
at your browser Help menu to learn the
correct way to modify your cookies. If
you turn cookies off, you won't have
access to many features that make your
site experience more efficient and some
of our services will not function
properly. However, you can still place
orders over the telephone by contacting
customer service.
|
|
|
|
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties? |
|
|
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise
transfer to outside parties your
personally identifiable information
unless we provide you with advance
notice, except as described below. The
term "outside parties" does not include
USABizListings.com. It also does not
include website hosting partners and
other parties who assist us in operating
our website, conducting our business, or
servicing you, so long as those parties
agree to keep this information
confidential. We may also release your
information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect
ours or others' rights, property, or
safety.
However, non-personally identifiable
visitor information may be provided to
other parties for marketing,
advertising, or other uses. |
|
|
| Third
party links |
|
|
|
In an attempt to provide you with
increased value, we may include third
party links on our site. These linked
sites have separate and independent
privacy policies. We therefore have no
responsibility or liability for the
content and activities of these linked
sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect
the integrity of our site and welcome
any feedback about these linked sites
(including if a specific link does not
work). |
