We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us, and for appropriate follow-up. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.

Unless you specifically ask us not to, we may contact you via telephone or email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

IV. Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

V. Registration

In order to use some portions of this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.

VI. Requests for Information

If you fill out our online submission form to obtain more information from us regarding one of our products or services, you must submit information on how we may contact you such as your telephone number or email address. If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses and contact you regarding the subject matter of your inquiry. In addition, we will retain the information you submit so that we may more effectively communicate with you in the future.

VII. Orders

We request information from you on our order form. To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders only. It will never be disclosed to third parties, except as necessary to complete the transaction (e.g., providing your address to UPS or FedEx). If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.

VIII. Cookies

We may use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

We do NOT allow any of our business partners to use cookies on our site.

IX. Sharing

We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We use 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 purposes beyond filling your order.

Finally, we may partner with a third party to provide specific services. When a user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services to that user. These third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

If BrandNewBusinesses.com is acquired, our user information may be among the assets transferred to the buyer in the sale.

X. Links

Our web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Some of our linkage sites make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or newsgroups available to their users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas, in some cases, becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information on these other sites.

XI. Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site may request information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information required may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

XII. Minors

Persons under 18 are prohibited from submitting any personally identifiable information to us including name, mailing address, telephone number, or email address. Users who submit information to us warrant (by acknowledging having read our Privacy Policy) that they are age 18 or older. If you are under age 18, you are permitted to view our public web site only. If we learn that personal information of a person under 18 has been submitted to us, we will delete that information from our systems immediately. Protection of young children is particularly important to us. Accordingly, consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request, collect, or maintain personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13, and no portion of our website is structured or intended to attract anyone under age 13.

XIII. Legal Compliance

We may disclose your personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law, or to comply with legal process served on us.

XIV. Log Files

As most web sites do, we record log files. The information we log includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. None of this information, including IP addresses, are linked to personally identifiable information.

XV. Consent

By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of your information consistent with this Privacy Policy.

XVI. Revisions

Internet-based commerce is dynamic and changing. We may change our privacy policy in the future in order to adjust to these changes. We recommend that you check it frequently.
