Privacy
Overview
Advanced Distributors does not rent, trade, loan, or sell your
personal information, or any other information which may
identify you to third parties. We are committed to protecting
our customers' privacy. The information we collect is used to
process your order and to enhance your shopping experience. We
also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage in order
to help us refine the design and layout of the store. For more
detailed information on our privacy policy, please continue
reading.
Your Personal Information
When you place an order at our site, you provide us with your
name, email address, financial information (credit cards or
other types of payment), address, and phone number. We use this
information to process your order and keep you up to date on its
status. The financial information that we collect from you is
used for billing purposes only.
In order to serve you best, credit card transactions are handled
by a reputable third-party banking institution. Once the bank
authorizes your credit card, we begin processing your order. The
banking institution we do business with is under strict
obligation to keep your personal information private.
We also work with third parties that perform various vital
functions on our behalf. Such functions include shipping and
delivering of packages, fulfilling orders, et cetera. These
third parties will have access to personal information as
required for them to carry out these functions on our behalf.
They are also under strict obligation to keep your personal
information private.
We may use your Internet Protocol (IP) address and ISP name to
help us diagnose problems with our server, and administer our
web site. Your IP address may also be used to gather broad
demographic information, as well as identify customer traffic
patterns and site usage. This information aids us in
merchandising and in refining the design and layout of the
store.
Secure Servers
Our secure server uses advanced encryption and firewall
technology to keep your personal information private. Our secure
server layer (SSL) software completely encrypts the information
you input so that it cannot be read as it travels to our
ordering system. We have extremely strong security measures in
place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your
information while it is in our control.
Cookies
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by the
browser onto your computer's hard drive. There are two types of
cookies, "Stored" and "Per-Session". Stored cookies are saved
onto your hard drive permanently whereas session cookies are
not. If our web site is left idle for over 30 minutes or if the
browser is closed, the per-session cookie will be deleted as
well. We use cookies to keep track of your current shopping
session. Advanced Distributors does not use cookies to
store/retrieve your personal information. By default, most web
browsers have both types of cookies enabled, but these settings
can be altered. To place an order on our website, per session
cookies have to be enabled, but stored cookies do not.
Your Consent
By using our web site, you are agreeing to let us collect the
aforementioned information (please see the above) and use it in
the said manner. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes on this page. Advanced Distributors will
cooperate with law enforcement agencies to identify any
individual who attempts to use our services for illegal
activities. We will also report any activity we believe to be
unlawful, to the proper authorities. Additionally, we may
release account information when we feel that such a release is
necessary to enforce the terms of our user agreement, or to
protect the rights, property, and safety of our users, Advanced
Distributors, or others. Advanced Distributors is not
responsible for the actions of third-parties.
