Amazon-Stores.net strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name,
e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy.
What Information
We Collect
When you
visit our site we may collect
two types of information: (a)
personal information you
actively choose to disclose and
(b) information about you that
is collected automatically by
our servers or obtained from
third parties in a way not
visible to you.
(a)
Information you actively choose
to provide. By choosing to
participate in our Program, you
must become a Member by
disclosing the following
information, such as: your email
address, name, address, phone
number and birth date. During
the process of registering on
our site, participating in
various offers, completing
surveys, or sending us emails or
correspondence, we collect
additional information that you
may disclose, including for
example mobile telephone number,
fax number, payment information
(e.g., credit card number and
billing address), credit
information, social security
number, health information and
personal preferences regarding
lifestyle, products or services.
(b)
Passive information collected
automatically by our servers or
obtained from third parties.
We collect some information
about you simply by virtue of
you connecting to our web site.
Our servers automatically
identify your computer by its
internet protocol ("IP")
address, a unique string of
numbers that is assigned to your
computer by your internet
service provider. In addition,
to participate in our program
you must allow cookies to be
active on your system. Cookies
are a feature of web browser
software (Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator, etc.) that
allows web servers to recognize
which computer is used to access
a web site. Cookies simplify
subsequent interactions on our
site and streamline your
transactions on related web
pages. Information collected
through cookies may include the
date and time of your visits,
the site pages you viewed, the
time spent at each page, and the
web sites you visited just
before and just after our site.
You can disable the cookie
function by following the
instructions in the "help"
section of your browser.
However, doing so will likely
make it impossible for our
system to properly recognize you
when you visit our sites, and
consequently may make your
participation in our program
more difficult or impossible. In
addition to the information you
provide or that is collected
automatically from our system,
we may obtain information about
you from our marketing partners
or other third parties, and we
combine that information with
the information you actively
provide or that is automatically
collected by our servers.
The term
"Information" is used in this
policy to refer to both types of
information described above, as
well as any Information that you
provide to us directly by phone
(including any phone number
displayed via caller ID), text
or SMS message, U.S. mail or
through any other written or
oral communication with us.
How
we gather information from users
How we
collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided.
For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register
for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features,
such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. Like most Web sites,
Amazon-Stores.net also collects information automatically and through
the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use
cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password,
sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you
visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular
advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be
asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What
we do with the information we collect
Like
other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your
privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages
are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally
Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected
on Amazon-Stores.net to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Amazon-Stores.net and other topics we
think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
Amazon-Stores.net may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access
such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Amazon-Stores.net expects is partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and
data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit
to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Amazon-Stores.net page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through Amazon-Stores.net you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Amazon-Stores.net is
not responsible for the actions or of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While
on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some
of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies
that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site
may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. Amazon-Stores.net does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You
should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of Amazon-Stores.net and this policy.
Changes to this Policy
Amazon-Stores.net reserves the right to change this policy at any time.
Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of
our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you
accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change
is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at
the time the information was collected.

policy and the use of this Site are governed by US law. If a dispute
