INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Standard Screen Supply is the sole owner of the information collected on Standard Screen Supply
Sites. Standard Screen Supply collects information from our users at several different points on
our Web site. A user may be required to complete a registration form in order to use our web
sites. Users may choose to opt-in to our subscription listing to receive informational or
promotional offers from Standard Screen Supply and its affiliates via mail or e-mail. During
subscription, a user is required to give contact information (such as name, address, and email
address). We use this information to contact the user about services on our site for which he has
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income
level), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
INFORMATION USE
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, and/or third party site traffic
software to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on
individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is
NOT tied to the users personally identifiable information. The data is used to improve the content
and layout of the site for all users. We share profile data with other third parties in aggregate
form only.
COOKIES
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We
sometimes use session ID cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the
cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive
for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser
help file directions.
LOG FILES
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use a tracking utility
called Urchin that uses log files to analyze user movement.
CLEAR GIFS (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We or our third party advertising company sometimes employs a software technology called clear
gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing
us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in
function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main
difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about
the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally
identifiable information and are used to track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use.
In addition, we use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been
opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications
and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of these emails,
please see the Opt-out section.
COMMUNICATION FROM THE SITE
We occasionally send information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
CHOICE/OPT-OUT
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside
parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should
proceed with services that require an outside party.
LINKS
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Standard Screen Supply, are
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site. Some of our business partners are linked from our Standard Screen
Supply sites and due to similar design and color schemes may appear to be hosted and
maintained by Standard Screen Supply.
SURVEYS & CONTESTS
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code). Contact information will be shared with the contest and survey sponsors to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not
shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an
intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
E-MAIL THIS PAGE TO A FRIEND
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for
the friend's name and email address. Standard Screen Supply will automatically send the friend a
one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Standard Screen Supply stores this information for
the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Standard Screen Supply
at info@standardscreen.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
SECURITY
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit
sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in
our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to:
info@standardscreen.com.
NOTIFICATIONS OF CHANGES
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement,
the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have
opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will
not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if
we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the
change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to
receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
