Smartwax Privacy Policy
At Smartwax, we recognize that privacy is an important
issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection of your
privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal
information we gather when you use Smartwax's website, as well as some of
the steps we take to safeguard it.
The following principles apply to the
personally identifying information we ask for and that you provide.
"Personally identifying information" is information that individually
identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address.
Data collection
- Smartwax collects limited non-personally
identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit
a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address,
browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one
or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this
information to operate, develop and improve our services.
- Some of our services require you to register for
an account. Smartwax asks you for some personal information in order to
create an account (typically your name, email address and a password for
your account) and we will use that information to provide the service.
For purchasing products from our website, we may request credit card or
other payment information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure
servers.
Information sharing
- We do not rent or sell your personally
identifying information to other companies or individuals, unless we
have your consent. We may share such information in any of the following
limited circumstances:
- We have your consent.
- We provide such information to trusted
businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally
identifying information on our behalf. When this is done, it is
subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such
information only on our instructions and in compliance with this
Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law or have
a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such
information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or
safety of Smartwax, its users or the public.
- If you have an account, we may share the
information submitted under your account among all of our subsidies in
order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the
quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information
to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited
circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.
- We may store and process personal information
collected on our site in the United States or any other country in which
Smartwax or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you
consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities,
including those located outside your country.
- In the event of a transfer of ownership of
Smartwax ., such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we
will provide notice before any personally identifying information is
transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Cookies
- Upon your first visit to Smartwax, a cookie is
sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie"
is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your
computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the quality
of our service and to better understand how people interact with us.
Smartwax does this by storing user preferences in cookies and by
tracking user trends and patterns of how people search. Most browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to
refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However,
some Smartwax features or services may not function properly without
cookies.
Information security
- We take appropriate security measures to protect
against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or
destruction of data.
- We restrict access to your personally identifying
information to employees who need to know that information in order to
operate, develop or improve our services.
Secure online ordering
Our secure server encrypts all of your
personal information including credit card number, name, and address, so
that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
If you still prefer not to send your credit card number or check over the
Internet: Call our FREE 1-800-295-8070 (in United States) and we'll
process your order over the phone.
Updating your information
- We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally
identifying information for many of our services. For more information,
please see the help pages for each service.
Changes to this Policy
Please note this Privacy Policy will
change from time to time. We expect most such changes to be minor, but
there may be changes that are more significant. Regardless, we will post
those changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will
also provide a more prominent notice. If you have any additional
questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.
