Privacy Statement for SmartSource!T

SmartSource!T, Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our organization's commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

Information Collection and Use

You can visit the SmartSource!T website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web server collects the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information, from time to time, may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We will use this information only for internal purposes and to improve the content of our website.

There are times, however, when we may request information from you, such as your name and address. If you choose to provide us with personal information we will not sell, share, or rent this information to external parties unrelated to us in ways different from what has been disclosed to you unless otherwise required by law.

SmartSource!T is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We sometimes collects information from our users at different points on our website. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process.

Users/Participants

No person under the age of 13 should use this website without the consent of their parent or legal guardian. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to monitor the Internet use of their children. Use of this website by any user shall be deemed to be a representation that the user is 13 years of age or older.

Order

We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.

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 may be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

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.

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys 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 zip code, age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of learning more about our participants and monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. We will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact us at info@SmartSourceIT.com  to request the removal of this information from their database.

Security

SmartSource!T will use appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personally identifiable information submitted to our site and will periodically review those measures.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website 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.
