| Our Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. To better
protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online
information practices and the choices you can make about the way
your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy
to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point
where personally identifiable information may be requested.
Information Collection and Use
3z.net, a PCD Company 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. 3z.net, a PCD Company 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.
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.
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 we 3z.net, a PCD Company 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.
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 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 in a locked room
that only essential personnel have access to.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website, you can send an email to webmaster@3z.net.
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. |
