Privacy Policy
This security and privacy policy (”Privacy Policy”) constitutes a part of the Terms & Conditions (”Terms and Conditions”) of this Web Site, which governs your use of this Site. The Terms and Conditions, including this Privacy Policy, may be amended by Steven S. Warren (”Site Owner”) at any time by posting the amended Terms and Conditions on this Site. The Terms and Conditions were last amended on April 14, 2007.
In addition to this Privacy Policy, certain services offered on or accessible from this Site have Supplemental Terms that will govern your use of such services. These also form a part of the Terms and Conditions and govern your use of such services.
Credit Card Transactions
For your protection, we have taken a number of steps to maximize the security of financial transactions that are accepted on the this Web Site. Credit Card processing is accomplished using secure processing services. Your entry of credit card information is encrypted when transmitted in secure mode. If you are behind a firewall, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) feature of your browser and the processing of the credit card may be blocked. In this case, you have the option of credit card processing without SSL by selecting the “Non-Secure” feature on the screen — the choice is up to you.
Using Encryption
In certain transactions you are given the option of running in a secure (SSL) mode or unsecure mode. In cases where a firewall is causing a situation that cannot be corrected, the use of the unsecure mode is given. The unsecure mode is used by you at your own risk.
In addition, there are constantly changing restrictions in the use of encryption software and schemes that are used in various countries. The use of appropriate software and encryption options are your responsibility, and the Site Owner assumes no risk or liability in ensuring your compliance to local law.
REGARDLESS OF THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY YOU OR BY THE SITE OWNER, “PERFECT SECURITY” DOES NOT EXIST ON THE INTERNET. THE SITE OWNER CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO THIS SITE OR THE SITE OWNER, AND YOU TRANSMIT SUCH INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Information We Collect From You, How We Use the Information
There are a number of areas in this Web Site where we ask for and collect information about you, including personally identifiable information. Where we do, it is in order to serve you better, or is necessary to accomplish the service you are requesting. Examples include membership information (which may include name, address, email, telephone number), security identifiers, and product purchase information stored in online shopping carts.
Use of “Cookies”
Cookies are implemented in various parts of this Web Site. In most instances, the use of Cookies is discretionary by you, and declining Cookies will usually result only in loss of certain conveniences such as session continuity and re-authentication during current or future sessions. Various types of Persistent and Per-Session (Transient) Cookies may be used with any one service, and their implementations, behaviors, and effects will vary. It is the policy of this Web Site that Cookies do not carry any of your personal information (name, email address, credit card, etc.) nor identification/password-type data that allows access to such personal information on our servers. All personal, transaction, and security rights are housed on secure servers, and follow the policy described in the “Information We Collect From You and How We Use the Information” section above.
General Web Server Security
All of the StevenScottWarren.com web servers throughout the main network are registered through Verisign as secure servers using industry-standard certificate techniques. This enables all communication between our servers to be verified when services are requested between our computers.
All of the personal information collected from you on this Web Site, including names, addresses, are stored behind a “firewall,” and defenses have been erected to seek to enhance the protection of your information from outside attack by hackers and curious visitors.
Personal Protection of Your Access Rights and Authentication
There is a common registration process that allows you to receive premium content on this Web Site. The registration involves the use of a unique user name and password. The user name and password will be used to authenticate you when you enter privileged services that are offered by this Web Site. After authentication, the service being requested will be allowed based on your current status in our membership registration database for specific electronic services for which you have signed up.
Legal Requests
The Site Owner cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us, service or content providers we work with, or you to possible legal liability.
