Information Collection When you browse our site and have not registered for any online service, you browse anonymously. Personal information -- such as your name, address, phone number or E-mail address -- is not collected as you browse. We do however, use "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used or to track your purchase information. Information, such as the server your computer is logged onto and your browser type (for example, Netscape/Internet Explorer/AOL) is collected and this information is used for the purpose of updating our web site traffic reports. This information does not show any personal information and is only used for group statistics. Registration for Online Products and Services In order to provide you with a particular product or service online, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information. This may include your E-mail address, home address, billing address, credit card number and home/business phone number so that we may process your order or service in an efficient manner. If you are known to us as a registered user we may combine information about your use of our site and the online product or service you utilize with certain other online and offline information we have about you as a NFSgear.com customer. This is used in order to customize your online experience and present you with relevant online and offline offers and updates. We may also use a "cookie" to enable our server to recognize you as a registered NFSgear.com online customer when you re-enter our site. If you would like to learn more about cookies, please read About Cookies for more information. Information Use We may use information you have given us to provide a service, ensure proper billing, measure consumer interest in our various services and inform you about products and services. If you provide us with your E-mail address, or have done so in the past, we may send you E-mail offers. These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us, in surveys or from other information that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle. These E-mail offers come directly from NFSgear.com. When we send E-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your E-mail address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich html E-mails. If your E-mail address is html-enabled, we may choose to send you graphic-rich html E-mails. Please note that we do not provide your E-mail address to our business partners. However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business partners. Keep in mind that if you take advantage of an offer from a NFSgear.com business partner and become their customer, they may independently wish to send offers to you. In this case, you will need to inform them separately if you wish to decline receiving future offers from them. Our goal is to deliver offers to people who we believe will find them of value. Offers are developed and managed under strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and privacy of customer personal information. Declining E-mail Offers NFSgear.com provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving E-mail offers. Although some customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed opportunities, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying to the E-mail and informing us of your preferences. All E-mail offers that you receive from NFSgear.com will inform you of how to decline receiving further E-mail offers. Additionally, you may set or change your E-mail preferences online at any time. Children We do not use NFSgear.com to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. Linked Internet Sites You should be aware that other Internet sites to which you link from NFSgear.com may contain privacy provisions that differ from the provisions of our Privacy Statement. Changes to the Internet Privacy Statement Changes to our Internet Privacy Statement will be noted here so that you can be fully informed about the privacy protections we provide and your choices with regard to our use of personal information for marketing purposes. SECURITY FAQ NFSgear.com realizes how important security is to you, so we've taken a number of steps that help enhance the safety and confidentiality of transmissions of private information sent over the Internet.Q. Is my confidential information secure? A. Whenever NFSgear.com asks you to send confidential information over the Internet, including personal data, we require that a "secure session" using SSL first be established. Q. What is a "secure session" and how does it help keep my information safe? A. During a secure SSL session, data passed back and forth between your computer and NFSgear.com systems is secured by using public key cryptography. Your computer exchanges key information with our computers and our hosting companies computers to create a private conversation that only your computer and our/their systems can understand. Q. What specifically is SSL? A. Any time you access or supply account information in one of our secure online areas, that information is encrypted by a technology called Secure Sockets Layer, often abbreviated as SSL. SSL technology secretly encodes information as it is being sent over the Internet between your computer and NFSgear.com systems, helping to ensure that the information remains confidential. The use of SSL requires two components: an SSL-compatible browser and a web server to perform the "key-exchange" that establishes an SSL connection. Q. What type of browser do I need? A. To benefit from SSL technology, you will need a browser with SSL capabilities. Examples of SSL browsers include the latest versions of Netscape, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Opera and the Web browser for America Online for Windows. (Note that some older versions of browsers will not support SSL sessions). Q. What type of connection do I need? A. Nearly all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) automatically enable the SSL session described above, as do most online services such as America Online, CompuServe, and Prodigy. If you use your company's internal connection to access the Internet and you find you can not access NFSgear.com secured pages with an SSL browser described above, your company may be blocking access via a "firewall". Please speak to your firm's Internet access systems administrator for further details on your network's Internet access. Q. What should I do if I am using a "public"computer? A. If you use a computer that others also use and you are uncomfortable that they may view "cached" pages after you have left the station, then please quit/exit your browser software before leaving. This will decrease the possibility of anyone viewing confidential information. For even more security - Before using the quit/exit in your browser you may delete the cached files from the system you are using. Q. What are "Cookies"? Do I need to accept them ? A. A cookie is a text file on your computer that reminds our system of your particular browser preferences and security requirements and lets NFSgear.com know exactly who you are. If your browser prompts you when a cookie is "served", you must accept it or access to confidential information will be denied, because we will not be able to ensure that the data is being sent to the proper parties. Because cookies are site specific, only NFSgear.com can access, decode, and make use of the information. |
