Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings with links from this
website, including vendor sites, have their own privacy statements that can be
viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within each respective website.
Online merchants and others who participate in CCI services are encouraged to
participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude
towards consumer privacy. However, since
we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating
merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy
practices or contents of those sites. We
recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of
merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information
or complete any transaction with such parties.
3. Information We
Collect and How We Use It
CCI collects certain information
from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the
user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to
administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track
include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
CCI may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text
file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web
Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a
cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing
and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality.
CCI reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on
our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as
merging into customcablesinc.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If
you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.
- Personal
Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase
services. When you register, we will
request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone
number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will
request financial information. Any
financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you
purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
CCI/http://www.customcablesinc.com Web pages may contain
electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel
gifs – that allow CCI to count users who have visited those pages and to
deliver co-branded services. CCI may
include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the
service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages
or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views,
which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. CCI prohibits Web beacons from being used to
collect or access your personal information.
5.
Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that
personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and
current. You may review this information
by contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant –
sales@customcablesinc.com.
6. Changes to this Statement
CCI has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy
statement. When we do, we will also
revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this
privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the
personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy
statement and any updates.
