RangeHoodsInc.com cares about the privacy of each user of its
website. In order to protect the privacy of its users,
RangeHoodsInc.com has adopted the following policy:
General Information- When
you use the website, some basic general information is collected. This
information is used to improve the website and make your use of the
website as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Cookies are also used
to help us determine the various services you use and the support you
may need, and to help us detect and solve any problems you may have
when using the website. This general information is used internally.
Personal Information - When
you set up an account or purchase an item from our website, we collect
personal information that may include your first and last name, billing
address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card
account number, items purchased from us and browsing, buying and
selling patterns.
Cookies - A
cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive. Websites
create cookies to record information about your preferences, such as
the items you add to your shopping cart, and for security reasons. Most
cookies expire after a certain time period. The most popular browsers,
such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, can be set to give
you the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies.
To
shop online at RangeHoodsInc.com, your browser will need to be
configured to accept cookies. Here's how to do it: In Netscape
Navigator 4.x, click the Edit menu and select Preferences from the
browser's drop-down menu. In the tree structure, click Advanced. Under
Cookies, click "Accept only cookies that get sent back to the
originating server" and "Warn me before accepting a cookie" (optional).
In Internet Explorer 4.x, click the View menu and select Internet
Options from the drop-down menu. Click the Advanced tab, scroll to the
Security heading, and select "Prompt before accepting cookies." We
suggest that you accept cookies only from Web sites created by
companies you know and trust.
If you
wish, you may set your browser to reject all cookies and still view the
site. Because our online ordering system requires cookies, you will not
be able to order online, But you can still place an order by phone, fax
or mail.
Use/Sharing of Personal Information - Your
name, shipping and billing addresses, and credit card number(s) are
used by RangeHoodsInc.com in order to provide you with the goods that
you purchase on the website. We use your email address to provide you
with information about your order and its status, and we may
occasionally send out emails, including newsletters, to people who have
placed an order online, offering them more great deals.
Your
phone number is used by RangeHoodsInc.com only in the event that our
customer service representatives need to contact you about an order you
have placed.
Personal Information is used
internally in connection with RangeHoodsInc.com's business, including
RangeHoodsInc.com promotional, marketing and advertising efforts, in a
manner which does not readily identify a user to any third party.
Credit Card Security - The
Internet is a vast network of computers. Because the data passes from
computer to computer, some Internet shoppers worry that unauthorized
persons may intercept the data and gain access to credit card numbers,
but shopping on a secure site is actually safer than handing a credit
card to a cashier. Taking the steps below will lower the chances of
interception of your credit card number:
Limit
your online shopping to Internet merchants, such as RangeHoodsInc.com,
with sites equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL
prevents unauthorized people from intercepting your data.
Use a browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, that
supports SSL. These browsers show a symbol in the status bar, such as a
key or lock, when you are on a site that uses SSL. Most banks will
cover the cost of fraud resulting from unauthorized use of your credit
card or may limit your liability. Credit card information collected by
RangeHoodsInc.com is encrypted through Secure Sockets Layer before it
is transmitted over the Internet.
RangeHoodsInc.com
fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who
use our services for illegal activities, and may in its sole discretion
disclose personal information or other information to satisfy any law,
regulation, subpoena, or government request. RangeHoodsInc.com reserves
the right to release personal information or other information about
users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise
in violation of our Terms of Service, even without a subpoena, warrant
or court order, if we believe in our sole discretion that such
disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate the website, or to
protect the rights or property of RangeHoodsInc.com , it's affiliates,
or any of their officers, directors, or employees, agents, third-party
content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors. RangeHoodsInc.com
also reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies any
activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to be unlawful.
