Cookies and Click-Stream Data: The Spectraflow Store site uses cookies and click-stream technology as described in this section to better understand user traffic and the user experience with the Spectraflow Store. A cookie is a small data file that web sites often store on your computer's hard drive when you visit their site. A cookie may contain information (such as a unique ID), that is used to track the pages of the sites you have visited. We use cookies in order to improve your shopping experience. We also use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of our site. Spectraflow uses cookies on its technical support site to make the user experience less cumbersome, for example to know if you visited the technical support site before. If you have not saved your information or ordered from us, we may monitor and maintain information about your use of our Web site in a manner that does not identify you. In either case, this information helps us serve you better by improving our site design, as well as our products, services, and promotions. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to customize your experience with our Web site. Spectraflow also collects aggregated visit and order information to track and analyze overall shopping trends, which allows Spectraflow to improve product offerings and services to its customers.
The Spectraflow Store: The Spectraflow Store is that part of the site that allows you to purchase Spectraflow products online. The Spectraflow Store part of the Sites is designed to give you options concerning the privacy of your identifying information. If you choose, you can set up an account, where you will provide certain personal information. This will allow you to have a customized order page for express ordering and to view your purchasing history. To protect your privacy, we have designed the Spectraflow Store part of the Site to include certain steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections in an account. You will always have access to this account information and can view it, update it or correct it at any time. To access your information, you will need to use a password. When purchasing products from the Spectraflow Store Site, the order form will also ask you to provide a daytime telephone number. A telephone number is requested so we can quickly resolve questions relative to an order, such as to clarify customer orders or to notify a customer of a backorder status.
You also can decide whether to have credit card information retained by us or not. We use industry standard security measures, and retain card information for payment processing purposes only. Credit card information remains encrypted. Because we know customers are concerned about credit card security, Spectraflow Store users have two choices when purchasing from the Spectraflow Store. You may either: Store your credit card number(s) in your profile with us. This is convenient, because it means you will not need to re-enter your number each time you place an order. Access to your profile is password protected. Elect not to store your credit card number(s) in your profile. You will then be required to re-enter your credit card information each time you place an order with us. If at any time you would like to make a purchase but do not want to provide your credit card information online, you may also contact a sales representative at the Spectraflow Store by telephone to take your order.
Children's Privacy Protection: Spectraflow is aware of the heightened need to protect the privacy of children under the age of 13. The vast majority of the material on the Site is not intended for children and is not targeted to children under the age of 13. Spectraflow does not knowingly collect data from children and, if we learn that we have received personal data from a child, we will remove this information from our database.
