DeLorean Car Show, Inc. is strongly committed to
protecting the privacy of all its customers. We have written this privacy
policy to inform you of the information collection and use policies of the
DeLoreanCarShow.com web site, such as the specific information that we
collect from you, how we use this information, and what options you have
in sharing this information with us when you visit our site. Protecting
your privacy is an important part of our commitment to
providing you with a high quality viewing and shopping experience.
DeLorean Car Show 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. DeLorean Car Show collects information from our users at various points on our website.
Registrations
In order to use portions of this website, or to receive special services,
a user may be required to complete a registration form. During
registration a user may be required to give their contact information
(such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the
user about the products/services on our site for which they have expressed
interest.
Orders
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 may be limited in some areas of 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.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person.
We may 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 may partner with other parties 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,
DeLorean Car Show, 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.
Newsletters
If a user wishes to subscribe to a newsletter offered from our site, we
ask for contact information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as
zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, their 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'.
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
personnel 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. All personnel are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added,
our personnel 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.
Special Offers
We may opt to send new members a welcoming email and to verify password
and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on
products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for
the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types
of communications.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as their 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 currently be done by emailing us.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users will be given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our site at any
point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form would
have an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't
want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our
lists.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our site so that our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in
this different manner. |
