PRIVACY
STATEMENT
If
you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you
should first contact privacy@pcausa.com
by EMAIL.
Information Collection and Use
PCAUSA
is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others.
PCAUSA collects information from our users at several different points on
our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form.
Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like 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, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. At the
present time PCAUSA does not use cookies 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.
Sharing
PCAUSA does not share information collected on its websites with any other
party.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that PCAUSA
cannot be 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.
Newsletter and Discussion (Mailing) Lists
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter or discussion lists, we ask
for contact information such as name and email address. All PCAUSA newsletters
and discussion mailing lists are opt-in and each newsletter or discussion list
mailing includes clear and simple opt-out instructions. These lists are
currently maintained for PCAUSA by eGroups, Inc., recently acquired by Yahoo!
Inc. You should examine the eGroups Privacy Statement before subscribing to a
PCAUSA newsletter or discussion list.
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.
When
our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
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.
If
you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email
to security@pcausa.com.
Special
Offers
We
send all new customers a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established customers will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our
users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
Choice/Opt-out
Users
who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials opt-out of
receiving these communications by following opt-out instructions that are
included in each and every newsletter or discussion list mailing that is sent
from PCAUSA.
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.
