Privacy Policy of Owners Own
Updated: October 28,
2003
Welcome! Owners Own recognizes the importance of customer privacy
and the need to protect information that users of the company.com
Web site provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains our data collection
practices and use for our online operations. Please read our complete
Privacy Policy. Owners Own will occasionally update this Privacy
Policy. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated"
date at the top of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is part
of, and governed by, the Owners Own Terms and Service of Web Site
Use and this Privacy Policy is incorporated therein.
Request for Customer Data
Owners Own requires customers to fill out a registration form prior
to allowing you to make purchases through the company.com Web site.
We ask for information such as your name, company address, work
phone number, and email address. When you submit your registration
form, this information travels via the Internet and is stored for
future reference when you return to shop again.
Web Server Cookies and Log Files
Owners Own uses cookies to identify different types of Web site
users. A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent by
our Web server, stored on your PC's hard drive, and used by your
Web browser. Owners Own uses cookies to identify the type of customer
using the Web site. If you disable cookies you may not be able to
use the Owners Own Web site.
Like most standard Web site servers 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 tied to personally identifiable
information to enable our Web based service.
Customer Data Protection
Owners Own may reveal customer data to third parties including third
party affiliates, software publishers, our sales representatives
and business partners that may require information to invoice for
a service or to properly register a software license to its purchaser.
Additionally, we use an affiliate and/or 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 purpose.
We use customer data for these primary purposes:
- To help you quickly find services
or information
- To help us create Web site content
most relevant to you
- To alert you to product upgrades,
special offers, updated information, and other new services from
Owners Own
- To complete purchases Owners
Own will disclose your personal information, without notice, if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such
action is necessary to (a) conform to the ethics of the law or
comply with legal process served on Owners Own on the site; (b)
protect and defend the rights or property of Owners Own, or (c)
act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
users of company.com or the public.
As we continue to develop our business, we might
sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the
unlikely event that Owners Own or substantially all of its assets
are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
Children's Privacy (Under the Age of 13)
Owners Own takes children's privacy seriously. We do not seek to
collect personal information about children through our Web site.
If we become aware that a person submitting personal information
to us through any part of our Web site is a child, we delete the
information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any
purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties. Since we do not
seek to collect any personal information about children, and we
delete information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover
that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information
about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests
review or deletion of information about their child before we have
discovered and deleted the information, then we will of course honor
that request.
Email Policy
Owners Own periodically uses email to send newsletters, notify customers
of current promotions, and to send updates about services and products
we're offering. We use the email addresses you provide during registration
or otherwise for these purposes. Customers and Web site users can
indicate whether or not they wish to receive email messages from
us. If you do not wish to receive information regarding Owners Own
products, services, and promotions, let us know and we'll discontinue
sending you email marketing messages. You will continue to receive
order confirmation email and other correspondence that relates to
quotes or orders you have placed with Owners Own.

we, Owners Own, are not responsible for the privacy practices of
