Dreaming Tree Technology, Inc. ("Firewalls.com")
Privacy Policy Effective Date: 12/20/2005
Firewalls.com is committed to protecting your privacy. That is because we
base our business on the trust you place in us. This policy describes our
practices regarding personal and account information collected through our
Web site. In this policy, “personal and account information” means your
name, company name, account number, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address plus any other information that personally identifies you, including
your industry, the number of employees at your company, and purchase
history, or would permit us to contact you, and “we” and “us” means
Firewalls.com as well as its affiliated companies.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy from time to time; the
effective date noted above will indicate the date that this policy was last
updated. You should visit our Web site periodically to review any changes.
Information We Collect and How It Is Used
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically
and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this
information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to
administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather
demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this
automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
In order to process transactions we collect customers name, address, phone
number, and credit card information. This information is collected by a
shopping cart service and is shared only within our corporation. Once we
receive this information all credit card information is deleted from the
shopping cart service.
If you request additional information or make an online purchase from us,
you may receive email from us about online specials and other events. If you
do not want to receive email from us in the future, please let us know by
sending email to us at the below address and telling us that you do not want
to receive email from our company. Alternatively, you can use the
unsubscribe mechanism within any email received from Firewalls.com. We
respect your privacy and do not sell or trade email addresses with other
companies.
If you supply us with your postal address online you may receive periodic
mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming
events. If you do not want to receive mail from us in the future, please let
us know by sending us an email to sales@firewalls.com
Firewalls.com does not share personally identifiable data with third parties
for unknown or unrelated uses.
Third Party Sharing
Agents
We use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill you for goods and services. These companies do
not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
other purposes. These agents are prohibited from using your personally
identifiable information for any other purpose.
Updating Your Information
Upon request we provide site visitors with access to unique identifier
information (e.g., customer number or password) that we maintain about them,
transaction information (e.g., dates on which customers made purchases,
amounts and types of purchases) that we maintain about them, contact
information (e.g., name, address, phone number) that we maintain about them.
Consumers can access or have this information corrected by sending us an
email to sales@firewalls.com
Choice/Opt-out
We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally
identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this
information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish
to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your
preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional
communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the
instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us
at sales@firewalls.com.
Alternatively, you may contact us at the address below.
You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any
third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an
informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that
party.
Security
We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and
receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. When we transfer and
receive certain types of sensitive information such as financial
information, we redirect visitors to a secure server. We have appropriate
security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the
loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at
our website.
Use of Cookies/Web Beacons
We use cookies to record session information, such as items that consumers
add to their shopping cart.
We employ a third party to track demographics which uses a software
technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us
better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective.
Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function
to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In
contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear
gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the
period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered
by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have
been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of
certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If
you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see "Choice and Opt-out."
We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies to track
non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site to help
us provide better content and marketing.
Ad Servers
We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server
companies.
Links to Other Sites
Firewalls.com may occasionally contain links to other websites. Please be
aware that Firewalls.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website
and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to the
Firewalls.com website.
Notice of Changes
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please
review it frequently. If we make material changes to this statement, we will
notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
Business Transitions
In the event that Firewalls.com goes through a business transition, such as
a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its
assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the
assets transferred. You will be notified via email and/or prominent notice
on our Web site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of
your personal information.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as
required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect
our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or
legal process served on our Web site
