Privacy Statement
Graphics Avenue Marketing Solution takes
the privacy of our customers seriously. This statement sets forth
the privacy practices for www.perfcards.com.
Information Collection and Use
Graphics Avenue Marketing Solution is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not
sell, share, or rent this information to others in a way different from what is
disclosed in this statement. Graphics Avenue Marketing Solution collects information from our users
at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to make the
ordering process easier for our customers, they must complete registration
information. During the registration process, a user is required to give
contact, shipping and billing information. This information is used to contact
those who register and ship ordered services. We will only use this information
to contact customers and prospects and fulfill orders.
Order
We request information from the
user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (covered in
the registration) and financial information (credit card). 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.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to
analyze trends, administer the site, track users movements, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We 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. These parties
are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the
purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site may contain links
to other sites. Please be aware that Graphics Avenue Marketing Solution is 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.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time
our site will request 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.
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, your information is protected both on-line and
off-line.
When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card 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
unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use
SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, 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
and on our servers. Only employees 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
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are
kept in a secure environment.
If you have
any questions about the security at our website, you can send an e-mail to:
customerservice@perfcards.com.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information
If a user's personally identifiable information
changes (such as Shipping Address), 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 be done by updating a profile on the My
Account page of the website or by e-mailing us at customerservice@perfcards.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our privacy policy page
so our users are always aware of what information we collect. 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 would notify users by way of an
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.
