Our Privacy Policy was developed not only to assist you in understanding
how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide to
us, but also to help you in making informed decisions when using our Site and
our products and services. This Privacy Policy will be continuously assessed
against new technologies, business practices, and our customers' needs.
We do
not sell, rent, or share personal information about you with other companies
except to provide products and services you've requested, when we have your
permission, or when we have a trusted partner who works on behalf of us under
confidentiality agreements to help us communicate with you about offers from
us or our marketing partners.
You agree that by submitting communications
our Web site, no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied, or other
relationship is created between you and us other than pursuant to this Privacy
Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms and
conditions of our User
Agreement. Like most websites, communications to, from our Web site are
not confidential, and your communications may be read or intercepted by others.
Minors
If you are a minor, you may use our Web site only in conjunction with
your parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult supervision. We urge
supervising adults to actively oversee minors' online use
What Information Do We Collect?
The goal of our site is to be your favorite military destination on the Internet
by providing you with the information, services and product offerings that
are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, we collect two types of information
from you when you visit our Site: personally identifiable information you
voluntarily choose to disclose, and "aggregate information" about
your use of our Site that is automatically collected when you visit our Web
site.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Personally identifiable information refers to information that tells us specifically
who you are. Personal information is collected when you voluntarily choose
to become our member of the our Web site community.
How Do We Use The Personal Information That You Provide To Us?
Your personal information is used to help us customize the content and
layout of our Web site so that we may provide you with a smooth and efficient
visit. We also use personal information for purposes of administering our business
activities, providing customer service, and making available other products and
services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also
use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web
site, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable.
Aggregate Information
Aggregate information refers to information your computer automatically provides
to us and that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples
include referral data (the web sites you visited just before and just after our
Web site), the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, browser and platform
type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform), and IP (Internet Protocol)
addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you surf the Web. When you request a page from one of our Sites, our
servers log your IP address to create aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners, and for purposes of system
administration. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively, and
allows you to receive advertisements that are more relevant.
“Cookies”
Our Web site, along with thousands of other web sites, uses standard technologies,
such as "cookies" and web server logs, to enhance your web viewing
experience. Cookies and web server logs automatically track certain information
about you that is based upon your activity on our Site. A cookie is a small piece
of data transferred from a web site to the hard drive of your computer so that
the web site may track your activities on the site. Web server logs allow us
to count how many people visit our Web site and also to evaluate our Site's visitor
capacity.
Each time you access our Site, our server may deliver certain customized information
to you based on the data stored in your cookies. Cookies allow us to determine
which areas and features of our Site are most popular by measuring user activity.
Cookies let sites and advertisers "remember" users across pages of
a site and across multiple visits to a site. This allows e-commerce and Internet
advertising to: personalize features such as targeted news stories, remember
user names and passwords for future visits, control ad frequency or the number
of times a user sees a given ad, and deliver advertisements targeted to a
user's interests. You can disable cookies, but access to certain parts of our
Web site may no longer be available to you. Cookies can be disabled. The Help
portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser
from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive
a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality
of personal information we collect. This software provides a limited degree
of protection against unauthorized access or disclosure, as well as accidental
loss, alteration, or destruction.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to or from Our Web Site?
The links in our Web site allow you to leave our Site. Please be aware that
once you leave our Site and enter another web site, our Privacy Policy is
no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on web sites that have
a link to our Web site, or any links contained in a linked site, is subject
to that web site's own rules and policies. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices employed by these sites, nor the information or content contained
therein. We provide these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion
of any link does not imply endorsement by us. Please read over the rules
and policies of these sites before proceeding. If you have concerns about any
site that is linked, please contact us.
Changes to Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here
so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use
that information, and to whom we will disclose it. If at any time, you have
questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please feel free to email
us.
