Bullhide Belts has created this privacy policy to
demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy, and to disclose our
information-gathering and dissemination practices. This privacy policy is
here to tell you about, among other things, the information Bullhide Belts
collects through our website, how we use that
information, how you can opt out of certain uses of the information we
collect, and how Bullhide Belts can make changes to this privacy policy. Please
let us know if you have any questions regarding this privacy policy by
contacting us at
sales@bullhidebelts.com.
What information does Bullhide Belts collect?
In collecting your personal information, we aim to provide you with a
more customized experience. This information lets us provide services and
features that we think are more likely to meet your needs. Of course,
users may be able to use our products or services or browse our Web sites
without providing any personal information, but once you give us this
personal information, you are not anonymous to us.
Bullhide Belts collects two types of information when you visit our Web
site or you do business with us via any medium: information that may be
used to identify you individually, such as your name, physical address,
phone number, and email address ("personal information"); and non personal
information, such as IP addresses, the type of browser you are using, and
aggregated information about user activities on our Web site ("no
personal
information").
Personal Information: We specifically request personal
information from you at certain points on and off our Web site. This information may include, without
limitation, your name, shipping and billing addresses, telephone number,
email address, and credit card information. You may
always choose not to provide us with your personal information; however,
this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific product or
service, or to offer you personalized content.
Nonpersonal Information: When you visit our Web site,
we also collect nonpersonal information, such as your IP address, which is
a number that can be used to identify your location and Internet Service
Provider. We may also collect the URL from which you came to our Web
site and the URLs visited on our Web site. A URL is the full address
of a Web site page, which may contain some personal or identifying
information about the person who is viewing it.
Use of Cookies: We also use a feature of your browser
called a cookie to assign identification to your computer. The unique user
ID contained within your cookie automatically identifies your computer—but
not you—to our servers every time you visit our Web site. Cookies by
themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user, but may be
correlated with identity information in our log files. You can turn off
the cookie feature by using your browser preference options, but you may
not be able to utilize some services properly. Current versions of many
Web browsers offer enhanced user controls for the placement and duration
of cookies. Search for "cookies" under your Web browser's Help menu for
more information on the cookie management features available to you.
Use of Pixel Tags: We also collect information through
the use of "pixel tags" included in email messages we may send to you.
Pixel tags, also known as "Web beacons," are tiny graphic files, not
visible to the human eye, that are included in HTML-encoded email
messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program,
the recipient's computer will access our server to retrieve the pixel tag
file, allowing us to record and store, along with the recipient's email
address, the date and time the recipient viewed the email message, the
fact that the recipient's email program is capable of receiving
HTML-encoded email, and other standard logging information. The pixel tag
may also see or read cookies. Bullhide Belts may use pixel tags in order to
measure and understand traffic better, to track visitor behavior to
improve user experience, and for tracking promotional and marketing
campaign response, among others. You can disable the pixel tag feature by
changing your browser settings to omit images and disable Javascript; or
there are commercial software packages available that can omit pixel tags
and most advertisements.
How does Bullhide Belts use or disclose the information it collects?
Bullhide Belt's Use of Personal Information and Nonpersonal
Information: We use your personal information to process your
requests and to improve our business, including, but not limited to,
improving the features of our Web site, and to communicate with you. We
may also use your personal information to personalize our Web site, to
target advertising or promotions that may be of interest to you, to
conduct business in any manner that we, in our sole discretion, deem
appropriate, and to analyze aggregate user data in order to improve our
services.
Cookies (again): We may use cookie and IP address
information to count and track Web site visits in the aggregate, to
personalize the Web site for each unique user, to control the frequency
of individual advertisements to individual computers, and to target
advertisements and promotions to broad demographic segments. We may also
use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, and to
administer our Web site.
Customer Service Issues and Contacts: We may use your
personal information to contact you in response to customer service
complaints you have submitted, to address a problem affecting your use of
a product or service, or to verify information concerning a transaction.
Transaction Processing: When you make a purchase, we
may need to provide personal information, including information such as
your shipping address, billing information, telephone number, and credit
card information, to third parties, including product manufacturers and
shipping companies, as necessary solely to complete the transaction.
Legal Requirements: We may, in our sole discretion,
disclose personal information when we deem necessary or appropriate to law
enforcement or other entities or third parties as required by law or to
protect our rights or the rights of others, to prevent harm to persons or
property, to fight fraud, identity theft, or otherwise to comply with the
law or legal process, to respond to claims, to protect our systems and
customers, to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and
systems, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bullhide Belts and
its employees or others.
Business and Accounting Disclosures: We may also
disclose non-identifying transaction information to third parties for the
purpose of accounting and record keeping. We may also disclose aggregate
user data or nonpersonal information in order to describe our services to
prospective business partners, advertisers, and others, but will do so
only in a form that does not identify individual users.
Other Notes: We never sell or rent your personal
information to 3rd parties for financial gain. Your information is kept
safe on our servers.
Security
Bullhide Belts uses industry-standard security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, and
we make good-faith efforts to store your personal information in a secure
operating environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we
strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us or our online products
or services, and you do so at your own risk.
Other Web Sites; Links
On our Web site and in communication with you, we may include links
or referrals to businesses and Web sites operated by our business
partners, affiliates, advertisers, and others. These third parties have
separate data collection and privacy practices independent from ours, and
thus Bullhide Belts cannot be responsible for their policies or activities.
Please contact those third parties directly if you have questions about
their privacy policies.
How can I correct, update, or delete my information?
Bullhide Belts does not currently have a method for users to delete the
personal information contained in our database. However, you may change or
update the personal information we have collected by sending an email to
sales@bullhidebelts.com. Please
include your email address, your order number, the name of the product you
purchased, and the information you wish to change. In addition, you may
delete the cookie stored on your computer, which will cause our system to
perceive you as a new user with no known user data. You may also set your
browser to reject cookies, but doing so may prevent you from using some of
our services.
Users Based Outside of the USA
Like almost every Web site and business, Bullhide Belts and its Web
site
may be accessed by an international audience. By visiting our Web site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your
personal information may be processed for the purposes identified in this
policy. In addition, such data may be stored on servers located in the
United States of America or otherwise outside your resident jurisdiction;
such jurisdictions may have less stringent privacy practices than your
own. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such
data.
What happens to my information if Bullhide Belts is sold to or merges with
another company?
It is possible that Bullhide Belts and/or any of our assets may be acquired
by an unrelated third party. In such a transaction, as the owner of this
customer information, we may disclose or sell the information as an asset
of the company in conjunction with the sale of our company or the sale of
a portion of our assets to a third party. While we will endeavor to
require the successor company to maintain this privacy policy, we cannot
guarantee that our policy will remain in effect.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may change from time to time. If we make any substantive
changes to the policy in the future with regard to how we use your
information, we will post those changes on our Web site in this
location together with the date of the last update. Your continued
business relationship or use of the Web site after the changes are
posted constitutes your agreement to the changes, both with regard to
information we have previously collected from you and with regard to
information we collect from you in the future. If you do not agree to the
changes, please discontinue your use of our Web site or business
relationship with us.
