About This Site
This site is owned by HigherExposure. This Privacy Policy is designed
to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and
disclosure of information that you may provide via this site.
Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using
or submitting information to this site. This site is governed
solely by applicable Federal and State laws and governmental regulations
in the United States. Use of this site constitutes your consent
to application of such laws and regulations and to our Privacy
Policy.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to
the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We
will not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this
age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about
their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to
Web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from
its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting
you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms,
and/or chat rooms. Some of the information that you submit may
be personally identifiable information (that is, information that
can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address,
e-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information
in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such
as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing,
submitting a resume) or to participate in a particular activity
(such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed
at each information collection point what information is required
and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be
passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing
the information) using various technologies and means, such as
Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags and navigational
data collection.
This site uses Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address
is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service
provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered
to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most
cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect
to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's
computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our
server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route
for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer
and improve the site.
About Cookies
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends
to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about
you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information
that are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise
turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation
on Web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information.
This site uses session cookies.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information
that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there
unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information
on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving
certain information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords),
helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find
most valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences.
This site uses persistent cookies.
About Internet Tags
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear
GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies
and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address
and browser type related to the visitor's computer. We do not
use Internet tags at this site.
About Log Files
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server
logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system
management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site
uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve
the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences,
to communicate information to you (if you have requested it),
for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes
specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site,
we may combine such information with other actively collected
information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection.
We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable
information from being combined with passively collected information,
unless you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to HigherExposure's.
affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with
this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally
identifiable information to third parties, located in the United
States and/or any other country, but only to contractors we use
to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical
support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which
case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in
accordance with this Privacy Policy; in connection with the sale,
assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to
which the information relates, in which case we will require any
such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy; or where required by applicable laws, court orders, or
government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired
through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable
information as you transmit your information from your computer
to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse,
and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever
100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from
this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special
care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover,
where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features
on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites.
Please be aware that we do not control other Web sites and that,
in any case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites.
We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site
you visit.
