Privacy Policy


Your privacy on the Internet is of great importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about users of Amazing Networks, we feel that you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. Amazing Networks will not share, sell or rent this information to others in any way other than as disclosed in this policy or stated at the point where the information is collected. Amazing Networks collects information from our users in several areas of our Web site as described in this privacy policy.

Questions regarding this statement should be directed to us by email as provided herein.

Registration and Promotions

Amazing Networks uses registration and order forms. Registration and order forms require users to give us contact information, like names and e-mail addresses, as well as identifiers, like IDs and passwords. The user's contact information is used to facilitate order processing for purchases in the future, as well as to contact users about release updates, specials, and promotions. Individual user information is never disclosed to third parties and is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis. Promotions require users to go through the registration process. In addition to how registration data is used above, promotions use this data to contact winners of the promotion. Users may change/modify/remove of receiving future mailings; see the choice/change/modify/remove section below.

Order Forms

We request information from you on our order form, including your contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used to fill your orders and for billing and shipping purposes. If we have trouble processing your order, we may use this contact information to get in touch with you. We share this information, and only that information that we believe is necessary, with those third parties that are involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card, and the shipping carrier that delivers your order. However, we never actually store your credit card in our database. It is discarded the moment your card is authorized. If you supply us with your postal address in this manner, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please follow our opt-out instructions.

IP Address

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

Cookies

Amazing Networks uses a feature of your Web browser called a "cookie" to assign a unique identification to your computer. Cookies are files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. Amazing Networks creates and then uses these cookie files to track your clicks as you go through the Amazing Networks Web site. Your browser stores the message in a file called cookie.txt. Each time the browser requests a page from the server, a message is sent back to the server. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. The next time you visit our site, your browser will send the cookie to the server, which can use the information to present you with a more personalized experience (such as retaining the contents of your shopping basket).

Amazing Networks only uses cookies to keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, to tell us whether you have visited Amazing Networks previously, and to help determine whether you came to Amazing Networks from a particular Internet link or banner advertisement.

Cookies can also be used to help save and retrieve usernames used on the Amazing Networks site, information on past purchases and other preferences. This is done for convenience and means that you do not have to reenter this information on every visit to Amazing Networks. Cookies cannot be used by Amazing Networks to retrieve any personal information about you unless you have previously purchased from or registered with Amazing Networks. Amazing Networks does not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer unless such information was knowingly and willingly provided by you.

Sharing

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies are contractually obligated to not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

We have partnerships with other companies and individuals to provide specific services. When you sign up for these services, we will share your name 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.

Aside from the previously mentioned third parties involved in the processing of your order, we do not share your personally identifiable information with any other entities. We also may disclose your information to a third party if we believe in good faith that the law or legal process requires it, to protect the rights or property of Amazing Networks or others, or as otherwise described in this privacy policy.

Links

This Web site contains links to other Web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Correcting and Updating Personal Information

If any of your personally identifiable information changes or if you no longer wish to use our service, we will offer you a way to correct, update or remove your personal data that you have provided to us. This can be done by e-mailing us at support@amazing.net.

Security

We want to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information on our Web site, we take commercially reasonable steps to protect your information online and off-line.

When you provide sensitive information on our site (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and protected with encryption software while in transit. While you are on a secure page, such as our order form page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked.

While we use encryption software to protect sensitive information online, we also use our best efforts to protect your information off-line. Access to all of our users' information is restricted in our offices. We take reasonable steps to ensure that only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment behind a locked cage.

We utilize industry standard SSL encryption when accepting your credit card information during our online checkout process. In addition, we utilize the same encryption standard when transferring your credit card data to our internal fulfillment system. To further enhance our security measures, our order fulfillment system is isolated from the Internet and we never store your actual credit card information.

If you have any questions about the security for our Web site, please e-mail us at support@amazing.net.
