Information Collection and Use

will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is
disclosed in this statement. eShopper
collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
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 will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our site.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site
(for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.
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 will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
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.
We partner with another party 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, eShopper,
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.
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 postal 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, your information is protected both online and off-line.
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. 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. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees 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, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website, you can send an email to webmaster@eshopperweb.com
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an
individual’s preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users
with similar information from our partners, to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes a purchase from either of these
companies, the companies collect and share that purchase information with us so we can
tailor the site to our users’ preferences.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our order form has
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.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or
promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by
replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at webmaster@eshopperweb.com
Users of our site are always notified when their
information is being collected by any outside parties.
We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they
should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
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 way of an email. 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.
