Palm Beach Cabinet Company - Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. We
want to make your experience on the Internet as
enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you
to use the Internet's vast array of information,
tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate
our firm commitment to privacy and security. This
Privacy Policy describes how our company collects
information from all end users of our Internet
services (the "Services")-those who access some of
our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors")
as well as those who may purchase Products and/or
pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the
Service ("Members")-what we do with the information
we collect, and the choices Visitors and Members
have concerning the collection and use of such
information. We request that you read this Privacy
Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It
Is Used
Introduction. Our company collects information in
different ways from Visitors and Members who access
the various parts of our Services and the network of
Web sites accessible through our Service. We use
this information primarily to provide a customized
experience as you use our Products and Services, and
generally, do not share this information with third
parties. However, we may disclose personal
information collected if we have received your
permission beforehand or in very special
circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases
described below.
Registration: Members may be asked to provide
certain personal information when they sign up for
our Products or Services including name, address,
telephone number, billing information (such as a
credit card number), and the type of personal
computer being used to access the Services. The
personal information collected from Members during
the registration process is used to manage each
Member's account (such as for billing purposes).
This information is not shared with third parties,
unless specifically stated otherwise or in special
circumstances.
However, in instances where our company and a
partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide
the partner certain personal information, such as
the name, address, and username of persons who
subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint
promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and
the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be
used by the partner for any other purpose. We may
also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles
from personal information Members provide during
registration (such as the total number, but not the
names, of Members). As explained in more detail
below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements
that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Some products and
services may be offered to Visitors and Members in
conjunction with an affiliate, independent
contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To
provide Visitors and Members some of these products
and services, the partner may need to collect and
maintain personal information. In these instances,
you will be notified before any such data is
collected or transferred and may decide not to use
that particular service or feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements
or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by an
affiliate, independent contractor seller, or
non-affiliated partner. Our company may share
non-identifying and aggregate information (except as
described above), but not personal information, with
such partners in order to administer the co-branded
products or services offered.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase
products and services or register to receive
materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new
product and service updates. In many cases, you may
be asked to provide contact information, such as
your name, address, email address, phone number, and
credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as
an online gift order sent directly to a recipient,
you may be asked to provide information about the
recipient, such as the recipient's name, address,
and phone number. Our company has no control over
the third parties' use of any personal information
you provide when placing such an order. Please
exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from our
company we will use the personal information you
provide only to process that order. We do not share
this information with outside parties except to the
extent necessary to complete that order.
Online Advertisements: Our company may display our
online advertisements. In those cases we share
aggregated and non-identifying information about our
Visitors and Members collected through the
registration process as well as through online
surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this
aggregated and non-identifying information to
deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures.
For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company
tells us the audience they want to reach and
provides us an advertisement tailored to the
audience. Based upon the aggregated and
non-identifying information we have collected, we
may then display or send the advertisement to the
intended audience. Our company does not share
personal information about its Visitors or Members
with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or
Members send email inquiries to our company, the
return email address is used to answer the email
inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the
return email address for any other purpose and does
not share the return email address with any third
party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically
conduct both business and individual customer
surveys. We encourage our customers to participate
in these surveys because they provide us with
important information that helps us to improve the
types of products and services we offer and how we
provide them to you. Your personal information and
responses will remain strictly confidential, even if
the survey is conducted by a third party.
Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from
individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and
combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of
other customers we may have, to create broader,
generic responses to the survey questions (such as
gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
employment, industry sector, or other demographic
information). We then use the aggregated information
to improve the quality of our services to you, and
to develop new services and products. This
aggregated, non-personally identifying information
may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy not to use
or share the personal information about Visitors of
Members in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you an opportunity to
opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about
Visitors or Members, or information regarding your
use of the Services or Web sites accessible through
our Services, for any reason if, in our sole
discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do
so, including: credit agencies, collection agencies,
merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to
satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act,
regulations, or governmental or legal requests for
such information; to disclose information that is
necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our
Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other
user policies; to operate the Services properly; or
to protect our company and our Members.
"Cookies" and How Our Company Uses Them. A "cookie"
is a small data file that can be placed on your hard
drive when you visit certain Web sites. Our company
may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes
track information for statistical purposes to
improve the products and services we provide and to
manage our telecommunications networks.
If you are a Visitor or Member we may use a cookie
to save your settings and to provide customizable
and personalized services. These cookies do not
enable third parties to access any of your customer
information. Additionally, be aware that if you
visit other Web sites where you are prompted to log
in or that are customizable, you may be required to
accept cookies.
Advertisers and partners may also use their own
cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and
expressly disclaim responsibility for information
collected through them.
Our Company Commitment to Children's Privacy.
Protecting children's privacy is especially
important to us. It is our policy to comply with the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and
all other applicable laws. Therefore we restrict our
Web site to persons eighteen years or older.
YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS
THIS WEB SITE. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF
AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS THIS WEB SITE
FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE RESTRICTIONS FOR USE
OF THIS WEB SITE, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY THIS
WEB SITE, FALLS WITHIN THE CHILD ONLINE PRIVACY ACT
(COPA) AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.
Public Forums: Please remember that any information
you may disclose in any Member Directory, or other
public areas of our Web sites or the Internet,
becomes public information. You should exercise
caution when deciding to disclose personal
information in these public areas.
Our Company's Commitment to Data Security: Services
and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in
place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of
the information under our control. While we make
every effort to ensure the integrity and security of
our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that
our security measures will prevent third-party
"hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.

or the practices described herein, you may contact

right to revise, amend, or modify this policy, our

and agreements at any time and in any manner, by
updating this posting.
