Privacy Policy
Protecting your privacy is important to STORESEARCH.COM!
STORESEARCH.COM has a committment to recognizing and protecting the privacy of customers who use the Internet.
The company maintains strict customer information privacy policies and uses technologies to safeguard customer information and communications from unauthorized intrusions.
STORESEARCH.COM recognizes that the growth of online services, including Internet services, has created additional privacy concerns, particularly for consumers.
Online privacy concerns focus on the protection of "customer identifiable" information which an individual or other customer reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "customer identifiable" information is information which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example, a customer’s name, address, or telephone number, e-mail address, and information about online activities that are directly linked to them.
It is common practice and often a necessity for companies, governments, or other organizations to collect customer identifiable information in order to conduct business and offer services. For example, a retailer may collect customer identifiable information, such as name, address, telephone number, and a variety of other information in the course of billing and providing service to a customer.
Some activities on the Internet follow very familiar patterns. Consumers signing up for an Internet access service, for example, are usually asked to provide name, address, telephone number and credit card and other information that is typical when the consumer orders a product or service. Similarly, business web sites may ask visitors to supply information about themselves, particularly when information, services or merchandise are requested, but often simply to be able to better target the company's services to the customer's interests and requirements.
STORESEARCH.COM’s Online Privacy Policy: Informed Choice
STORESEARCH.COM has put in place the following Online Privacy Policy to protect customer identifiable information. This policy covers STORESEARCH.COM and its subsidiaries, and applies to all customer identifiable information that STORESEARCH.COM obtains when a customer registers for or uses an STORESEARCH.COM online service, including visiting an STORESEARCH.COM owned and controlled web site ("STORESEARCH.COM Web Site").
STORESEARCH.COM protects online customer identifiable information as follows:
Disclosure
STORESEARCH.COM will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any customer identifiable information derived from the registration for or use of an STORESEARCH.COM online service -- including customer names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer (except as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others). When STORESEARCH.COM uses other agents, contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf, STORESEARCH.COM will ensure that the company protects your customer identifiable information consistent with this Policy. If STORESEARCH.COM includes your name and any other customer identifiable information in a directory that STORESEARCH.COM creates from information we receive as an online service provider, the company will give you the opportunity to have your information excluded from that directory. Directories that STORESEARCH.COM creates may, however, contain information obtained from other sources.
Collection and Use
STORESEARCH.COM may collect and use customer identifiable information for billing purposes, to anticipate and resolve problems, or to create and inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. This means that STORESEARCH.COM may use your customer identifiable information, in conjunction with information available from other sources, to market new services to you that we think will be of interest to you, but we will not disclose your customer identifiable information to third parties who want to market products to you.
Customer Choice
A customer may choose not to receive direct marketing communications from STORESEARCH.COM in connection with STORESEARCH.COM online services. Upon such choice, STORESEARCH.COM (a) will not contact that customer directly with marketing messages about STORESEARCH.COM online services, and (b) will not use customer identifiable information obtained from that customer’s registration for or use of an online service to contact that customer with marketing messages about any STORESEARCH.COM products or services. A customer may choose not to receive such messages by e-mail, by mail, or by telephone.

Customer-identifiable information which a visitor volunteers at one of the STORESEARCH.COM Web Sites to order STORESEARCH.COM services other than online services will be protected just as if the information had been provided under more traditional ways of ordering that service.
Collection of usage data.
STORESEARCH.COM servers automatically gather information about which sites customers visit on the Internet and which pages are visited within an STORESEARCH.COM Web Site. The company does not use that information except in the aggregate.
Cookies
In technical terms, cookies are small amounts of information that are placed on an Internet user’s hard drive by an Internet web server that can thereafter be read and updated when the browser requests pages from the same server. In other words, cookies help Web sites remember who you are and what you did during your last visit.
There are actually two types of cookies: a temporary session cookie and a persistent cookie. A temporary session cookie is just a temporary ID that establishes a link between a Web server and an end user’s computer. Temporary session cookies have no content and do not hold data, they are simply a unique code that identifies your machine to the Web server. For example, a session ID might look something like this:
PUYQGHUMEAAJPUYL
Temporary session cookies are destroyed when you leave a Web site and are not saved on your hard disk. Unlike temporary session cookies, persistent cookies are saved to your hard disk and may "persist" indefinitely. You have no control over when the cookie will expire as those who download the cookie to your hard disk set the expiration date. Persistent cookies can store information such as your ID, your password, your credit card information, and pages you have viewed in the past STORESEARCH.COM cookies contain no personally identifying information, but they enable us to provide better service such as remembering your settings or remembering that you have taken a survey for a particular merchant. While most web browsers automatically accept cookies you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without accepting cookies, you can still use the features on our site but you may need to set your desired setting upon every visit.
Security
STORESEARCH.COM has implemented technology and security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the privacy of your customer identifiable information from unauthorized access or improper use, and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available.
E-mail Contents
The company will not read or disclose to third parties private e-mail communications that are transmitted using STORESEARCH.COM services except as required to operate the service or as otherwise authorized by law.
Improper Conduct
STORESEARCH.COM may also use customer identifiable information to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activity that threatens the network or otherwise violates the customer agreement for that service.
Account Information
STORESEARCH.COM honors requests from customers for account information, for example, name, address, or billing information, and will correct any such information which may be inaccurate. Customers may verify that appropriate corrections have been made.

Additional Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
STORESEARCH.COM joins the industry in recognizing that children, including young teens, may not be able to make informed choices about personal information requested online.
Accordingly, STORESEARCH.COM does not target children or teenagers (younger than eighteen years of age) for collection of information online. STORESEARCH.COM does not solicit or collect customer identifiable information targeted at children and teenagers under eighteen and does not allow anyone else to do so on a STORESEARCH.COM Web Site. In addition, the editorial content of STORESEARCH.COM Web Sites designed for children will not knowingly promote or link to any third party web site that collects customer identifiable information unless that web site publishes a privacy policy that is easily accessible.
In addition, on all of its online services and STORESEARCH.COM Web Sites, STORESEARCH.COM will encourage children to seek the consent of their parents before providing any information about themselves or their households to anyone on the Internet. Finally, STORESEARCH.COM encourages parents to take an active role to protect the privacy and security of their children and to prevent the inappropriate use of information about their children. STORESEARCH.COM supports the development of technologies that help parents to control the collection and use of personal information from children who use online services in their households.
