Information Collection and Use
This site may collect information from its users at several different points. For instance, we request information from the user should the user order goods or services. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as 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, the information is used to contact the user. Also, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

We do not collect or store information through cookies, clear gifs, third parties or by other means to create a profile of our users. No profile of stored information is kept on individual users that details their viewing preferences. We do not share any user information connected with this Web site with other third parties. Specifically, we do not share any e-mail or other correspondance to this Web site, in part or whole, with any third parties; we do not share any log information, in part or whole, with any third parties.

Communications from the Site
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a clear and simple way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.

On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature. Users may opt-out of these communications. Please see our Choice and Opt-out section.

Legal Disclaimer: Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on GWIEP.NET.

Transitions of Ownership
In the event this site goes through a transition of ownership, such as the death of the founder, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

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 information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a good or service from us, but don’t want any further material, can keep their personal information off of our lists.

Links
GWIEP.NET contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site they visit that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by GWIEP.NET.

Public Forums
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online that such information can be collected and used by others. By posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. GWIEP.NET cannot be held responsible for the action of these third parties.

Security
GWIEP.NET takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information to GWIEP.NET, their information is protected both online and off-line.

While we use available means to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only those who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, we keep up-to-date on security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable informat ion are in a secure environment to the best of our ability to confirm.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
