Our Commitment To You Concerning Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the website owned by Above Technology. On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:
- Name
- Address
- Email address
- Phone numbers
- Credit/Debit Card information
- Bank account information
On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are:
- Name
- Address
- Phone Number
The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with third parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order. If you submit credit card information, this information may be sent to third parties for the sole purpose of authorizing your credit card and/or debiting your account. If you submit bank account information, this information may be sent to third parties for the sole purpose of authorizing your bank account and/or debiting your account. If we or you later cancel a transaction or reverse a charge, this same information may be sent to third parties for the sole purpose of crediting your account and/or fulfilling our obligation to reverse the charges of a transaction. If you submit mailing address or telephone numbers for ordering products, this information will not be shared with third parties except to the extent necessary to complete the order process.
We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with third parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. However, the transmission of email is not a secure means of communicating information, and therefore your privacy cannot be assured if you send us private information by this means.
Email Privacy
Our email privacy policy is covered by two separate policies: one for the ordering process, and one for optional sign-ups. The optional sign-up will have its own policy, the details of which are not covered by this privacy policy. Summary: If you submit email address(es) to us for the purposes of the ordering process, then your email address(es) will never be shared with third parties, unless you also signed up for some other purpose.
The email addresses that you provide us are not used for any purpose other than for the reasons explicitly stated on the webpage on which you entered it, or for the purposes of the ordering process. An email address for the purposes of the ordering process is defined as any email which you provide to us while completing an online order or a telephone order, or whenever you send an email to us for the purpose of product information, pre-sales inquiry, ordering information, or for sending a product page’s URL or link to an email address. Otherwise, we treat all email addresses as if they were for the purposes of the ordering process unless you signed up on a webpage for an explicit purpose. If you submit an email address to us for another purpose, this purpose shall be explicitly stated on the website on which you entered it. We will never share email addresses with any third party, except as explicitly stated on the sign-up webpage.
If you sign up for an optional email service, your privacy is governed by the policy explicitly stated on the sign-up website. Your privacy cannot be governed by that policy unless we receive two requests for sign-up: one request by submitting a form on our website, and a confirming request that ensures that your email account was not submitted in error or by a third party. Once you have confirmed your first request with a second request, your privacy will be governed by the policy explicitly stated on that sign-up webpage.
Mailing Address Privacy
Our mailing address privacy policy is covered by two separate policies: one for the ordering process, and one for optional sign-ups. The optional sign-up will have its own policy, the details of which are not covered by this privacy policy.
Summary: If you submit mailing address(es) to us for the purposes of the ordering process, then your mailing address(es) will never be shared with third parties, unless you also signed up for some other purpose.
The mailing addresses that you provide us are not used for any purpose other
than for the reasons explicitly stated on the webpage on which you entered it,
or for the purposes of the ordering process. A mailing address for the purposes
of the ordering process is defined as any mailing address which you provide to
us while completing an online order or a telephone order, or whenever you send a
mailing address to us for the purpose of product information, pre-sales inquiry,
or ordering information. Otherwise, we treat all mailing addresses as if they
were for the purposes of the ordering process unless you signed up on a webpage
for an explicit purpose. If you submit a mailing address to us for another
purpose, this purpose shall be explicitly stated on the webpage on which you
entered it. We will never share your mailing address with any third party,
except as explicitly stated on the sign-up webpage.
If you sign up for an optional mailing, your privacy is governed by the
policy explicitly stated on that sign-up website. Your privacy cannot be
governed by that policy unless we receive two requests for sign-up: one request
by submitting a form on our website, and a confirming request that ensures that
your mailing address was not submitted in error. Once you have confirmed your
first request with a second request, your privacy will be governed by the policy
explicitly stated on that sign-up webpage.
Compilation of Statistics
We may use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with third parties. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we will not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
From time to time, certain advertising companies and our company may mutually share aggregate data about the people who are arriving at and purchasing products on our company’s websites. This information is only used for the purposes of marketing research. This information is usually shared using browser cookies and by aggregate statistics with no personal information shared at any time. If sharing your information using browser cookies is unacceptable, then you may wish to clear your browser’s cookies periodically, or to browse with cookies disabled.
Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. All credit card information is transmitted in an encrypted data stream.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain informatio n at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by logging in to your account using the password you chose. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. It is imperative that you keep your password secure by never disclosing it to any third party. We recommend that you do not write down your password. If you forget your password, there is a procedure in place on the website to recover your ability to login by having us send a message to your email address on record. We will never ask for your password using an email message. Our website is designed such that your personal information will only be requested on a secure (SSL-encrypted) webpage. This ensures that your privacy is maintained during the transmission of your personal information. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error. You may also update it by editing your online account settings. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Our Commitment
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. We are not in the business of selling your private information. It is our intent to sell the products displayed explicitly on our websites, and not to intentionally or accidentally share your personal information at any time without a need to do so.
