INFORMATION COLLECTION

General. We collect personal information about our Users because it helps us deliver the best User experience we can provide. Gathering information enables us to provide convenient and accurate information about our goods and services offered in our stores and other content that may interest you, and to deliver timely and relevant information about various QualityAirFilters.com website Services that you may choose to use. Such practices also help us to tune the product experience over time so that we may optimize our Services based on User feedback and actual use. In addition, this information helps us keep you informed about the latest QualityAirFilters.com announcements, updates, and support information in a timely fashion.

Some information may be gathered by passive means, such as the use of cookies and log files (as described below), and will apply to all Users regardless of whether the User has completed a registration with QualityAirFilters.com. In addition to the information gathered through passive means, if you register for an account on a QualityAirFilters.com website, other information, including personal information, will be gathered from the registration and profile information you submit and from other active means as you use the website(s) and Services. Our gathering of personal information from registered Users may enable additional website functionality and help connect you with other registered Users.

Registration. When you sign up for a QualityAirFilters.com account, we will collect personal information such as your name, email address, street address, zip code, and User identifier and password. You must provide this information to register. Like all other passwords you create, you should choose a QualityAirFilters.com password that is known only by you. You acknowledge that the registration information is personal to you, and by creating an account on QualityAirFilters.com, you allow others, including QualityAirFilters.com, to identify you.

By registering for a User account on QualityAirFilters.com, you voluntarily and willingly provide us certain information, including personal information, which we collect in order to provide our Services. If you have any hesitation about providing information to us you should not register for a QualityAirFilters.com account. If you already are a registered User and have any reservations about using QualityAirFilters.com, you should close your account.

Profile Information. Once you become a registered User, you may provide additional User information, which may include personal information. Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally required at registration is entirely up to you. Any information you provide at registration or in other sections may be used by QualityAirFilters.com as described in this Policy and in the Terms of Use. If you decide not to share certain information, QualityAirFilters.com may not be able to deliver the full benefits of the Services to you.

Customer Service and Support. QualityAirFilters.com may collect information through the QualityAirFilters.com Customer Service and Support interfaces in order to, among other things, accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.

Site Usage, including Social Media. We may collect information about how our Users are using certain QualityAirFilters.com features and functionality and whether they are interacting with third-party applications or clicking on advertisements. In addition, we may offer certain social networking features within the Services, including from third party social networking sites like Facebook.com and Twitter.com. We may gather information about your profiles on such social networking sites and store and republish such information on our website and as part of our Services. For more information on our social networking practices, see “Social Networking Applications” in the Terms of Use.

Cookies and Advertising. Like most websites, QualityAirFilters.com uses cookies, web log files, and related technologies to track site usage and trends, improve the quality of our Service, customize your experience on QualityAirFilters.com’s website and through its Services, and deliver third-party advertising to Users both on and off the QualityAirFilters.com website. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, which allows us to recognize you as a User when you return to the QualityAirFilters.com website using the same computer and web browser. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note, however, that if you decline to allow cookies in your browser, some or all of our features or Services may not function properly as a result. In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the Services to our Users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. QualityAirFilters.com does not store unencrypted personal information in the cookies.

Log Files, IP Addresses, and Computer or Mobile Information. When you visit the QualityAirFilters.com domain we may log your IP address, access URL, time of access, browser type, and referral URL in order to provide us with internal information regarding site traffic statistics. This information may also be used to identify Users who are using the service for activity that is deemed in conflict with our Terms of Use. This information is used in the aggregate, and is never linked back to any personal information, except as otherwise described herein.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We store all User information in secure databases protected via a variety of industry-standard access controls. Secure passwords, SSL encryption (however, we do not use encryption during your day-to-day use of our website), firewalls, and other electronic measures are in place that help us protect your data. We also maintain physical and procedural safeguards, such as secure areas in buildings, authentication procedures, training our employees in the proper handling of personal information, and limiting employee access to this information to those employees with a business need for access. We employ these measures to ensure this data is accessed only for the purposes specified in this privacy statement. When we use third parties to assist us, we require that they comply with all the same confidentiality and security measures. However, since the internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to QualityAirFilters.com. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login and account information. Please note that emails, instant messaging, and similar means of communication are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.

In connection with these marketing efforts, you may receive communications from each such marketing partner in various forms including, without limitation, emails, postal mail, telephone, text messages, Facebook messages, Twitter Tweets, and messages within other social media. Like with receiving communications from QualityAirFilters.com, you are responsible for paying any service fees associated with your receipt of communications from marketing partners on your mobile device (including applicable data and text messaging charges and tolls). Although we only work with third parties whom we believe to be reputable, our marketing partners may have different privacy policies and practices than QualityAirFilters.com . We encourage you to review our marketing partners’ privacy policies to further understand their procedures for collecting, using and disclosing your information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of our third party marketing partners or any other third parties, and you acknowledge that QualityAirFilters.com is not in control of, nor is it responsible for, the content of any communications which you may receive from individual marketing partners, nor is QualityAirFilters.com in control of or responsible for the frequency with which marketing partners deliver communications to you. If you terminate your account with QualityAirFilters.com, you will stop receiving communications from us, but you will not stop receiving communications from marketing partners with whom we have already shared your personal information as permitted by this Privacy Policy unless you contact that party directly.

Third Party Services. QualityAirFilters.com may from time to time make available to its Users services provided by one or more third parties. If you choose to use services provided by third parties, you may be asked to confirm acceptance of the privacy policy and/or user agreement of the third party, which have not necessarily been reviewed or approved by QualityAirFilters.com. It is your choice whether to make use of these third party services and whether to proceed under any third party terms. We may not screen or audit such third party terms or agreements, and we cannot guarantee that any third party will abide by this Policy or other agreements we may enter into with such third parties.

Sharing Information with Other Third Parties.

For example, we may use a third party service provider to perform services such as billing Users for any fee-based or e-commerce Services that QualityAirFilters.com may offer from time to time on its website(s). In addition, we may transmit personal information to one or more third parties providing external hosting services to us. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personal information except to provide these Services (including all third party hosting services, which generally will store this information as part of the service they provide to us).
