Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment
to combine the highest-quality products and services with the
highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners.
The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using
our site and our products and services. This statement will be
continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices
and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types
of information: personal information you knowingly choose to
disclose
that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information
collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit
Card Information:
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our
partners, you may need to give personal information and
authorization to obtain
information from various credit services. For example,
you may need to provide the following information:
• Name
• Mailing address
• Email address
• Credit card number
• Home and business phone number
•
Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden name)
Email Information:
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners,
if you choose to correspond further with us through
email, we may retain the content of your email messages together
with your
email
address and our responses. We provide the same protections
for these electronic communications that we employ in
the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What
Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies
and
Web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web
site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after our Web site. This information
is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this
information is associated with
you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide
to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering our business
activities, providing
customer service
and making
available other products and services to
our customers
and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important
changes to
our Web site,
new services
and
special offers we think you will find valuable.
The lists used to send
you product and service offers are developed
and managed under our traditional
corporate standards designed to safeguard
the security and privacy of our customers’ personal information.
As a customer, you will be given the opportunity,
at least once annually, to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature
of Web browser software that allows
Web servers
to recognize
the
computer used to
access a Web
site. Cookies are small pieces of data
that are stored by a user’s
Web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember
what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent
interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information
to streamline the user’s transactions on
related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user
to move
from Web page to Web page
and to complete commercial transactions over the
Internet. Cookies should make your online experience
easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect
from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software
tools such as cookies and Web server
logs
to gather
information about
our Web site
users’ browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our
Web site and better serve our customers. This information
assists us to design and
arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly
manner
and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers
and
prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important
business and technical statistics.
The information
in the
cookies lets us
trace the paths followed
by users to our Web site as they
move from one page to another.
Web server logs allow us to count
how
many
people visit our Web site and
evaluate our Web site’s
visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies
to capture
your individual email address or
any personally identifying information about you
although they do permit
us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing Information with
Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic
marketing alliances or
partnerships with
third parties who
may be given
access to aggregate
information about
our customers in general.
At no time will personal
information
such as
your name,
address, telephone
number and email
be disclosed to
anyone. In connection
with strategic marketing alliances
or partnerships,
we will retain
all ownership rights
to the information,
and we
will not share information
regarding your social
security number or
other personal financial
data.
Notice of New Services
and Changes
Occasionally, we may
also use the information
we
collect tonotify
you about important
changes to our
Web site,
new services and
special offers we
think you will
find valuable. As
our client, you
will be
given the opportunity
to notify
us of your desire
not to receive these
offers
by clicking
on a
response box
when
you receive
such an offer or
by sending us an email
request at
Customer_Service@VeloVie.com.
How Do We Secure
Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential
personal credit
card information
to us
on our Web site,
a secure server
software which
we have licensed
encrypts all
information you input before
it is sent to
us. The information
is scrambled
en route and decoded
once
it reaches our
Web site.
Other email that
you may send
to us may
not be secure
unless
we
advise you
that security
measures
will
be in place
prior to your transmitting
the information.
For that reason,
we
ask that you
do not send
confidential information such
as Social
Security
or
account
numbers to
us through
an unsecured
email.
How Do We Protect
Your Information?

encryption/security
software
to safeguard
the confidentiality
of personal

general, our business
practices
limit

to

and
transactions.
