PRIVACY & SECURITY
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to Sharp Products International, Inc. Sharp Products International, Inc. does not sell information about individual customers (such as name, address, e-mail address) to third parties. We do not sell or rent lists of customers or use information about individual customers to any outside company or organization. Sharp Products International, Inc. reserves the right to disclose aggregated information regarding its customers and usage of our services (such as demographics and ordering patterns) to suppliers and others for various purposes. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
At the present time, Sharp Products International, Inc. does not use cookies. We do, however, reserve the right to help make our site more responsive to the needs of our visitors in the future and employ the use of cookies at a later date. Cookies are a standard feature of browser software that assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID, if you will, that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn’t actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through ordering, for example) we won’t know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only company or personal identification information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can’t read data off your hard drive.
The use of cookies will enable us to help tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. It is a cookie, for example, that allows us to track the pages our users are visiting and how often. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice t accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our site.
Our web server automatically collects limited information about you computer’s connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit our site. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data – such as the web pages you view.) Your IP address does not identify your company or personal information. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our site.
A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we’ll post the changes before they take effect.
Of course, our use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will always be consistent with the current policy, even if we change that policy later.
Site Security
At Sharp, we want you to feel safe while ordering from us. That’s why we use VeriSign, the only company focused entirely on digital authentication. VeriSign encrypts all of your company information including name, address and credit card number, as it travels over the Internet. So you can feel safe entering your credit card information, including name, address and credit card information with Sharp. Once received, your company or personal information is stored in our secure data center.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, Sharp Products International, Inc. cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose confidential information online, that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online.
