Information Collection, Use, and Dissemination practices.
1.0. Collection of Information.
1.1. User Direct Information. Each time you provide or transmit information via the
Website, Company may obtain and collect personal information about you, including,
but not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, bank account information
and telephone or cell phone number (collectively referred to as “Personal Information”).
1.2. Survey Information. Company may collect Personal Information from you when
you voluntarily complete a Company survey, order form, or a registration page either
online by using the internet or offline by providing this information through the mail, in
person or using a telephone. This information may be collected by surveys, order forms,
or registration pages operated by third parties. This method of collection is collectively
known as a “Survey”. In such Surveys, Company or a third party may ask you to provide
Personal Information including your name, email address, street address, zip code,
telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender,
salary range, education and marital status, occupation, employment information,
personal and online interests, and such other information as may be requested from
time to time. Company may also collect such information concerning you from another
source and uses that information in combination with information provided from the
Website or Surveys. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary, and you are under
no obligation to provide Survey Information to Company or a third party.
1.3. Third Party Information. Company may collect Personal Information from you
when you provide information to a third party and Company subsequently acquires or
uses the information provided by the third party. Such information may include, but is
not limited to, your name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers
(including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, education
and marital status, occupation, industry of employment, personal and online interests,
and such other information you may have provided to the third party. When acquiring
this information, Company seeks assurances from the third party that you agreed to
provide and have such information acquired by Company. Company will not share,
trade, or sell credit card information to any 3rd party. If you did not give express
permission, or you would like to remove your permission, you may suppress all of your
information by sending notification to us at support@valhallamedics.com.
1.5. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology. Company
currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related
information about you with information about you in its database. Additionally, Company
may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future.
(a) Cookies. “Cookies” are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we may write
cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any
of the pages of this Site. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the
most to you and what content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this
site again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your
preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this
site; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver
specific content to you based on your interests or past viewing history; save your
password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable cookies, although the Site may
not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept or
reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more
about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and
functionality of Company’s websites, you need to accept cookies.
(b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display
an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user
identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired information
about an individual in a database. This allows Company to track certain websites you
visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to
determine products or services you may be interested in. In addition to using web
beacons on web pages, Company also uses web beacons in email messages sent to
individuals listed in Company’s database.
(c) IP Addresses. Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your
behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal research on our users’
demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and
our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether
this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the
site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet
Protocol (“IP”) is a unique Internet “address” which is assigned to you by your Internet
Service Provider (“ISP”). For local area network (“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users,
an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are
automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic
patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the
cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your
IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or
which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we
may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
(d) Computer Profiles. Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous
data which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors.
For instance, Company may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names,
the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color
capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine
keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal Identification
Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you.
(e) Data Analysis. Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used
by a Client of Company.
(f) New Technology. The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web
beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, Company strongly encourages individuals to
revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of new technology.
1.6. No Information Collected from Children. Company will never knowingly collect
any Personal Information about children under the age of 13. If Company obtains actual
knowledge that it has collected Personal Information about a child under the age of 13,
that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it does not
collect such information, Company has no such information to use or to disclose to third
parties.
1.7. Credit Card Information and Bank Account Information. Company may, in
certain instances, collect credit card numbers, bank account information and related
information when an individual places an order on Company’s Website. When the credit
card or bank account information is submitted to Company, such information is
encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. Company will use the credit
card information or bank account information for purposes of processing and completing
the transaction you requested on the Website, and the credit card information or bank
account information will be disclosed to third parties as necessary to complete the
requested purchase transaction.
2.0. Use of Personal Information.
2.1. General Use. The following paragraphs describe how Company currently uses
Personal Information, but Company may change or broaden its use at any time. As
noted below, Company may update this policy from time to time. Company may use
Personal Information to provide promotional offers to individuals by means of email
advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, mobile marketing, online
banner advertising, and package stuffers, among other possible uses.
2.2. Email and Unsubscribe Policy. Company uses Personal Information to provide
third party promotional offers by email to individuals. Company may maintain separate
email lists for different purposes. If email recipients wish to end their email subscription
from a particular list, they need to follow the instructions at the end of each email
message to unsubscribe from the particular list. To unsubscribe from all Company’s
email lists, a person must send an email to support@valhallamedics.com
Company’s unsubscribe process impacts only the future delivery of electronic mailings
disseminated by Company on its own behalf. You may still receive electronic mailings
sent on behalf of Third Parties and your Personal Information may still be shared with
Third Parties for use in offline marketing and data appends, including email appends
unless you unsubscribe as provided above.
You should also note that unsubscribing from Company’s electronic mailings will not
automatically unsubscribe your information from any Third Party business associates
and licensees of the data. Since Third Party associates and licensee partners maintain
separate databases from Company, and you will need to unsubscribe from each source
individually, if desired. This allows you the freedom to pick and choose which
subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.
2.3. Content of Email Messages. You may receive certain commercial email
messages sent by third parties for products, which may be of interest to you. In such a
case, an Advertiser’s name will appear in the “From:” and the email will have a method
at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe from that Advertiser. Company is not
responsible for third party emails sent to you.
2.4. Solicited Email. Company only sends email to individuals who have agreed on the
Website to receive email from Company or to individuals who have agreed on a Third
Party website to receive email from Third Parties. As such, Company does not send
unsolicited email messages. As a result, United States statutes requiring certain
formatting for unsolicited email are not applicable to Company’s email messages.
2.5. Targeted Advertising. Company may use Personal Information to target
advertising to an individual. When an individual is using the Internet, Company uses
Technology Information to associate an individual with that person’s Personal
Information, and Company attempts to show advertising for products and services in
