Create-A-Card, Inc. Privacy Statement
Create-A-Card, Inc. (collectively referred to in this Privacy Statement
as "we" or "CAC") recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of
all information provided by users of our web sites, subscribers to our mailing
list, recipients of our e-mail newsletters and all other customers of our
products and services. We created this policy with a fundamental respect
for our customers' right to privacy and to guide our relationships with
our customers. This Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices for
all products and services owned by CAC.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
CAC collects information from our website users, mailing lists subscribers
and other customers. In this section of our Privacy Statement, we describe
the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide better services
to our customers. Registration and Ordering When attending trade shows and
other in-person events, participating in our customer-sponsored webcasts,
using our website and signing up for certain selected services (such as
free samples), users may first register. During registration, users are
required to give their contact information (such as name, e-mail address,
mailing address and phone number). For internal purposes, we use this information
to communicate with users and provide requested services, and, for our website
visitors, to provide a more personalized experience on our sites.
We also may collect demographic information (such as job title and responsibilities,
company information and business information). We use aggregate demographic
information about our audience to improve our service, for marketing purposes
and/or industry reporting purposes. For our services that require payment
we also collect credit card information (such as account name, number and
expiration date), which is used for billing purposes only, and is not otherwise
shared.
E-mail Newsletters If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters,
we ask for contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally,
demographic information). We use this information in the same manner as
we use contact information in the registration and ordering process described
above. Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the instructions
listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Surveys and Contests From time to time we invite web site users and other customers to provide information
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the website user or other customer therefore has a choice
whether to disclose requested contact information (such as name and mailing
address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In
addition to the other uses set forth in this policy, contact information
collected in connection with surveys and contests is used to notify the
winners and award prizes and to monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction
with the website or other CAC product or service.
Subject to the given customer's preferences, such information also may be shared with third party sponsors
of such surveys or contests. Communications with Us We have features where
our customers can submit information to us (such as our feedback forms).
Where such submissions include requests for service, support or information,
we may forward them to our sales center, as needed, to best respond to the
specific request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other information
sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve
customers better.
Automatic Data Collection Our web sites, newsletters and,
from time to time, certain other products and services have features that
automatically collect information from customers, to deliver content specific
to customers' interests and to honor their preferences. This information
assists us in creating products and services that will serve the needs of
our customers. For example, we use "cookies," a piece of data stored on
the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies benefit
the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our
web site. If users reject the cookies, they may be limited in the use of
some areas of our web site. For example, the user may not be able to participate
in contests or drawings.
Additionally, we may note some of the pages the
user visits on our web sites and via our email newsletters through the use
of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) and web beacons. The use of cookies,
pixels and web beacons enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our sites and via our email newsletters.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation
history and IP address of all visitors to our web sites. This information
does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use this
information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system
administration, and to gather broad demographic information about our user
base for aggregate use.
WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
We do not share your information, nor sell any information to
any other business. We may share aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic
data, but it will not include personal information.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal information
and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us
online (such as credit card number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us
securely. In addition, access to all of our customers' information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store personally
identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
LINKS
Our web sites contain links to other sites. CAC is not responsible for the
privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our users
to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each web site to which we may link that may collect personally identifiable
information.
