PRIVACY
STATEMENT AND COPYRIGHT NOTICES
This privacy statement discloses
the privacy practices and copyright notices for
http://www.steve-park.com/.
Information Collection and
Use
- Statement Information
Because we gather information
about the visitors and customers of http://www.steve-park.com/
a, we feel you should fully understand the terms
and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information.
- Information we gather and
track
We gather two types of information
about users: 1) Data that users provide through
optional, voluntary registration on this site,
and 2) aggregated tracking information derived
mainly by tallying page views throughout our site.
Such information enables us to better tailor our
content to readers' needs and help our advertisers
better understand the demographics of our audience.
http://www.steve-park.com/ derives a portion of
its revenue from advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential in order to keep
some of our services free to users.
We will not sell, share,
or rent this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement. We collect
information from our users at several different
points on our website.
- Newsletter, Screensaver,
and Other Products or Service Registration
In order to use these services,
a user must first complete the registration form.
During registration a user is required to give
their contact information (such as name and email
address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which
they have expressed interest. It is optional for
the user to provide demographic information (such
as income level and gender), and unique identifiers
or preferences, but encouraged so we can provide
a more personalized experience on our site.
- Order
We request information from
the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address)
and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for
billing purposes and to fill customer's orders.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user.
- Cookies
From time to time we may
use cookies on the site. A cookie is a piece of
data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie
is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be
limited in some areas of our site. For example,
the user may not be able to participate in any
of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings
that take place. Cookies can also enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our site. Some of our
business partners use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access
to or control over these cookies.
- Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
- Sharing
We will share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping
company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or
use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
From time to time we may
partner with another party to provide specific
services. When the user signs up for these services,
we will share names, or other contact information
that is necessary for the third party to provide
these services. These parties are not allowed
to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing these services.
- Links
This web site contains links
to other sites. Please be aware that Steve Park
Motorsports is not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and
to read the privacy statements of each and every
web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely
to information collected by this web site.
- Surveys & Contests
From time to time our site
requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of this site.
- Security
This website takes every
precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online
and off-line. When our registration/order form
asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software
in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow this
link http://wp.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.php.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user-information off-line. If
you have any questions about the security at our
website, you may contact us.
- Supplementation of Information
In order for this website
to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers,
it is necessary for our ecommerce partner to supplement
the information we receive with information from
3rd party sources.
For example, to determine
if our customers qualify for one of our credit
cards, we use their name and social security number
to request a credit report. Once we determine
a user's credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
- Special Offers
We send all new registrants
a welcoming email. Established members will occasionally
receive information on products, services, special
deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive these types of communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
- Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site
and service announcement updates. Members are
able to unsubscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the
service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email or phone.
- Correction/Updating Personal
Information
If a user's personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip code), or
if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or
remove that user's personal data provided to us.
- Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity
to 'opt-out' of having their information used
for purposes not directly related to our site
at the point where we ask for the information.
For example, our screen saver or order forms have
an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who use a service
or buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing
material, can keep their email address off of
our lists.
Users who no longer wish
to receive our newsletter or promotional materials
from our partners may opt-out of receiving these
communications you may contact us to unsubscribe.
Users of our site are always
notified when their information is being collected
by any outside parties. We do this so our users
can make an informed choice as to whether they
should proceed with services that require an outside
party, or not.
- Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our web site so our users are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and
under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If
at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we would notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
- Unsubscribe Policy
Users may unsubscribe to
any of our electronic newsletters at any time
by following the instructions contained at the
end of each newsletter.
