Privacy Statement
Our
Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to
combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level of
integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy is designed
to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the
personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed
decisions when using our site and our products and services. This statement
will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices
and our customers' needs
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on
an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners, you
may need to give personal information and authorization to obtain
information from various credit services. For example, you may need to
provide the following information:
- Name
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Credit card number
- Home and business phone number
- Other personal information (i.e. mother's maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners, if you
choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the
content of your email messages together with your email address and our
responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic
communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by
mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and
Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and
the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is
associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think
you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service
offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards
designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers' personal
information. As a customer, you will be given the opportunity, at least once
annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to
recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces
of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive.
Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page to
simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user or to
use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related Web
pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and
to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make
your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs
to gather information about our Web site users' browsing activities, in
order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers.
This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our
Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to
count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email
address or any personally identifying information about you although they do
permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Sharing Information
with Affiliates From time to time you may notice offers from outside
companies advertised on our Web site. We take measures to select product or
service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to
their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the
practices and policies of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your name,
address, telephone number and email for the purpose of providing you
information regarding products and services that we think will be of
interest to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances or
partnerships, we will retain all ownership rights to the information, and we
will not share information regarding your social security number or other
personal financial data. However, email that you may send to us may not be
secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to
your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not
send confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers to
us through an unsecured email.
Notice of
New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think
you will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the opportunity to
notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a
response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email
request at
Mirror@MirrorOfLight.com
Disclose Information to Outside Parties
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site
traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or
reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally
identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words,
when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights.
Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or
from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often
links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on
topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another
Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and
interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on
our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please
read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy
policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep
you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances we may disclose it.
