Privacy Statement for OfficeUsers.ORG/Office Users Group

Short Version

We Do Not SPAM, or Send Unsolicited Emails, nor do we share your email with ANYONE unless you ask us to.

Your privacy is important to us.

Long, official, compliant-type version:

OfficeUsers.ORG has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our network of sites.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

Our site uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.

Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address) and unique identifiers. We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Unique identifiers may be collected to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system (never without the user's knowledge).

Our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We may collect visitor's contact information (like their email address), unique identifiers, and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send order confirmations and to communicate with customers regarding their purchase from, and use of, this site. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. Unique identifiers are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis ONLY.

We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address) and unique identifiers. The customer's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Unique identifiers are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Some ads are served onto our site/network of sites by third-party services, the most often-used are Google. To visit their privacy statement, please see: Google.

Protection of Sensitive Data

We protect your payment instrument information by fully encrypting the data by applying a 768-bit key. In addition, our servers are located behind firewalls and inaccessible to the Internet by privatization and port controls. Access to the decryption process is limited to a very select few individuals working for OfficeUsers with a need to know the payment instrument information. This access is protected by further-passworded access to administrative portions of the membership software application which controls the encrypted data.

How You Can Access or Correct Your Information

You can access, review and/or correct all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by going to your Account Settings Page (acctmgt.asp). We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by using the online forms available at that URL, or by sending us a request that credibly shows error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

Public Forums

This site makes chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Security
