Information you give us: DojoLink.com collects any information
which you enter on our Web site. This information is normally provided when you
search, buy, participate in a contest, sweepstakes or on-line survey, or when
you communicate with any of our departments such as customer service, sales or
technical services through our Web site, telephone, mail or fax. You also
provide information when you establish an account with us. Examples of the type
of information you may supply us with include your name, address, telephone
number, credit card information, and e-mail addresses. In some instances, we ask you for other
people’s names and email addresses for the sole purpose of fulfilling your
specific request to email certain specific information as part of our “email a
friend” feature.
Automatic Information collected by us: We (or agents on our behalf)
collect anonymous information from visits to our sites through the use of “Web
Beacons.” Web Beacons are simply web page elements which may employ cookie
technology that enable us to record anonymous data about visits to or
transactions made on our web site. This anonymous information is sometimes known
as “clickstream data.” We may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to
improve your online experience, or customer service. No personal data is
collected through the use of Web Beacons on our sites. Through the use of
cookies, we may also collect and analyze the IP address used to connect your
computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as your
browser type and version; operating system and platform; purchase history;
confirmation when you open e-mail that we send you; and the URLs which lead you
to and around our Web site including the date and time. Your browser allows you
to reject cookies and software is available from third parties which will allow
you to visit our Web site without providing this information. You are welcomed
at our Web site if you use this software but we will not be able to offer you
our personalized services and we will be unable to accept any orders from you.
Orders: If you place an order we use a secure order form which
requires you to provide contact, billing, and financial information. This
information is transmitted to your credit card company to authorize your
purchase.
Email Newsletter Subscription: If you request an email newsletter
subscription or enter a DojoLink.com sponsored sweepstakes, we employ a
double opt-in subscription program. Upon registration, you will receive a
confirmation email to the email address you gave us with a link contained within
it or instructions for completing the subscription process. You will not be
fully subscribed to the newsletter until you click through the link in the email
we sent you or otherwise follow the instructions contained therein. In order to
make our emails more relevant and useful to you, our servers may receive a
confirmation when you open email from DojoLink.com.
Sharing of Information with third-parties:
Independent Contractors: We may employ other companies or individuals
to provide certain services to us such as analyzing customer lists and data,
providing marketing assistance, or consulting services. These third parties will
have access to the information needed to perform their functions but cannot use
that information for any other purpose. Any 3rd parties who use our data will be
fully bound by this privacy policy. In no event will the data being used by any
unrelated third party include your email address.
Aggregate information: We provide aggregate information to some of our
business partners. This information does not allow them to identify you
individually in any way.
Credit card companies and shippers: When you purchase from us we
send your credit card information, name, billing address and the amount of your
purchase to your credit card company to verify and authorize the purchase. Your
name, telephone number and shipping information must be provided to third party
shippers such as UPS, Federal Express and the United States Postal Service to
deliver your purchase. There also may be instances in which we drop-ship orders
directly to you from one of our manufacturers or suppliers. These drop-shippers
are only given your name, postal address, and telephone number for the sole
purpose of fulfilling your order.
Link to Third Party Site: Our Web site contains certain links to third
party sites, such as our vendors. DojoLink.com is not responsible or liable
for the privacy practices or content found on these sites. We suggest that you
check the Privacy Notice of each site you visit.
Law Enforcement and Protection of Users:
We will release personally
identifiable information to third parties and organizations when we believe it
is appropriate for us to do so to comply with the law. We will also do so to
cooperate with law enforcement investigations, comply with court orders or
subpoenas, protect the legal rights of us and our users, or when we believe it
is needed for fraud protection and/ or credit risk reduction.
Business Transfer:
DojoLink.com is a privately owned entity which
has been in business since 2002, and our intent is to continue operating for many years to
come. However, in the unlikely event that DojoLink.com is sold, has its
assets acquired or transferred, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or merges
or becomes affiliated with any other division, individual or entity, any
customer information owned or under the control of DojoLink.com may be one of
the transferred assets.
Security:
We employ the latest 128-bit encryption technology in all
areas of the site which require you to provide your personal or account
information, including online ordering, order status, catalog request and most
contest forms. Your name, your personal information and especially your credit
card number are safely stored.
To make sure you have the latest security features on your
browser, you may want to download the most recent version of your favorite
browser, which should have full SSL support.
