CARRIERSTORE.COM PRIVACY POLICY

This notice describes CarrierStore’s privacy policy regarding information collected on our website: www.carrierstore.com.

By visiting our website, you are accepting the privacy policy described below.

1. What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Information You Provide. We receive and store information users enter when using our website application. For example, when you register for and use our xCHANGE service, when you supply information such as your address, phone number or credit card. We use this information only as needed to provide the services offered through the xCHANGE application, to respond to your requests, to improve our website, and communicate with you. In addition, and only if you choose, we may share your information with other companies who provide goods or services that you are interested in. Please see the “opt-in/opt-out” information in Section 4 of this policy.
Cookies. Like many websites, we use "cookies". Cookies are small programs that we transfer to your hard drive that allow us to recognize you and to provide you with a customized user experience. If you do not want us to use cookies, you can easily disable by following the instructions in your web browser that will prevent the browser from accepting cookies, or inform you when you receive a new cookie. In addition, you may visit this and other websites anonymously through the use of utilities provided by other private companies.
Other Information: Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses of computers used to visit this site are noted. In addition, we automatically collect other information such as email addresses, browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site.
Information from Other Sources. We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to your account profile.

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

Personalized Login. We use your information to better serve you by providing a personalized, secure login name and password for your account. This allows you to access data and records tied to your individual account.
Agents. We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include sending postal mail or e-mail, and processing credit card payments. These agents have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Special Offers. We may send you special offers from time to time, unless you choose to “opt-out” of receiving such offers. In addition, we may also send you special offers from other companies. Again, you may “opt-out”. If we send you offers from other businesses, we do not share your personal information with them. The offers come directly through us. Please see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection at the end of this policy.
Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that we are acquired at some future time, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
Law Enforcement. If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information then we will comply with the law. We will also release information when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

3. How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
We use encryption to protect your information contained in our customer list.
We use a firewall to protect against unlawful intrusion.
We limit access to your information on a “need to know” basis.
We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. We only transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
No system can guarantee absolute security, just as the finest lock can not guarantee physical security. However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your data is secure.

4. Your Choice: Opt-in or Opt-out.

It is your choice whether to receive emails or special offers from CarrierStore or our partners. If you do not wish to receive such information, please send an e-mail stating so with your name and e-mail address to: unsubscribe@carrierstore.com.

5. Children

We do not sell products or services to children. If you are under 18, you may use this site only with involvement of a parent or guardian.

6. Other Websites

Various Web sites may be linked to and from this site. If you link to another site, your privacy depends on the policy of that site. We strongly urge you to check their privacy policy. Not all sites guarantee that they will not share your personally identifiable information with others. You may also wish to consult privacy guidelines such as those recommended by the Online Privacy Alliance (www.privacyalliance.org).
