ON GUARD SERVICES, INC. PRIVACY POLICY This website is owned and operated by On Guard Services, Inc. (“On Guard Services”). Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At On Guard Services, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather and how we use it. INFORMATION COLLECTED AND TRACKED BY ON GUARD SERVICES, INC. In general, when you visit our website and access information, you remain anonymous. We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission. Optional Voluntary Information There are occasions where we may ask you to voluntarily submit additional information about yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. We may also request your credit card number and expiration date. We may request this information to be able to better understand your needs, adjust our website to your personal preferences, enable you to order products and services via the website, enable you to participate in the “Ask A Question” service and message board, and send you e-mail and postal mail newsletters and announcements, and for other similar business purposes. We give you the opportunity to elect not to receive future materials from us. If you sign up for an electronic newsletter, electronic announcement, or e-mail list, each message will include instructions on how to “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” from that list. Usage Tracking We collect tracking information and monitor traffic patterns throughout this website, including the search terms that users enter in our Search function. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We do break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user’s browser). This information allows us to better tailor our content to users’ needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Other Data Collection We may collect data from or about you in other ways not specifically described in this policy. For example, you might contact us with a question. We maintain such data like other business records. All opinions, ideas, suggestions, and other feedback submitted through our website may be used by On Guard Services, without any restriction and free of charge, and nothing contained in this policy shall limit or otherwise affect this. We may also collect non-personally identifiable information such as the type of internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, and the domain name of the website from which you linked into our website or an advertisement. Please note that On Guard Services will fully cooperate with any court order or other legal process and will provide your personal information to the extent required in any legal proceeding. USE OF INFORMATION AND PROTECTION OF YOUR PRIVACY As mentioned above, On Guard Services may use personal information about you and track your usage of our website to be able to better understand your needs, adjust our website to your personal preferences, enable you to order products and services via the website, enable you to participate in the “Ask A Question” service and message board, and send you e-mail and postal mail newsletters and announcements, and for other similar business purposes. On Guard Services does not disclose its mailing lists to any outside parties. Also, we will not share your personal information with any outside parties without your permission, unless such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. We may use third party contractors who can access our databases for the purpose of conducting repairs or upgrades to our computer system. We may also use third party service providers and give access to your personal information as part of the services they provide to us. We hold all such third parties to the same privacy standards to which we hold ourselves. We require these third parties to use and disclose your personal information only as necessary to perform their services. CHILDREN Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), On Guard Services will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with any personally identifiable information, we will delete that information from our systems. COOKIES On Guard Services may place text files called “cookies” in the browser files of your computer. The cookies themselves do not contain personal information, although they will enable us to relate your use of this website to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. The only personal information cookies can contain is information you supply yourself. Cookies can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. On Guard Services uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). We may also use cookies when you submit a question through our “Ask A Question” service or register for an account.
