Information Collection and Use
We are 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. We collect information from our users at several
different points on our website.
Registration
In order to best use this website, site guests are encouraged to first complete
a registration form. During registration a guest is required to give their
contact information (such as name and e-mail address). This information is used
to create a personal account for the guest and to contact the user about
services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is useful also
as they can receive updates via e-mail regarding the status of their orders as
they flow through the delivery process.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must
provide contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer 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 with a password more than once
per visit, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our site. For registered users, we are using encrypted
cookies that will expire after 3 months. If a site guest rejects the cookies,
when they traverse our site and click into an area that requires a log-in, we
request they enter their password. If a guest elects to reject the use of
cookies, they will have to complete a full log-in here. The only drawback to
this is that the user rejecting cookies will be limited in their access to some
areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests
of our users to enhance their experience each time they visit our site.
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.
E-mail a Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend's name and e-mail address. We will
automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit the
site. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
e-mail. The friend may contact us at info@GoHID.com to request the removal of
this information from the database.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will link to those changes from
our Homepage so our users are readily aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what 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 e-mail. 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.
