USPAE Website Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

USPAE (we” or “us”) values our visitors’ privacy. This privacy policy summarizes what information we might collect from any visitor (“you”), and what we will and will not do with it. This policy is subject to change at any time without prior notice.

Please note that this privacy policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that USPAE does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by USPAE. If you visit a website that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information.

What We Do With Your Personally Identifiable Information

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us. “Personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, such as, for example:

  • your name, company, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address
  • any account-preference information you provide us
  • your computer’s domain name and IP address

If you do provide personally identifiable information to us, either directly or through a reseller or other business partner, we will:

  • not sell or rent it to a third party without your permission — although unless you opt out, we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as news about our services and products;
  • not use or disclose the information except:
    • as necessary to provide services or products you have ordered, such as (for example) by providing it to a carrier to deliver products you have ordered;
    • in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
    • in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);
    • as required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena or search warrant;
    • to outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;
    • to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale or disposition of all or a portion of USPAE’s assets;
    • as necessary to enforce the Terms of Service; or
    • as necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of USPAE, its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

No Security Guarantee

USPAE will take commercially reasonable precautions to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access. However, even after we receive personal information from you, we cannot guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a breach of our commercially reasonable efforts or as a result of any other event beyond our reasonable control. Also, please be aware that your email transmissions and/or other communications to us containing personal information may be unlawfully intercepted or accessed by third parties and/or this website may be subject to hostile network attacks or administrative errors. Accordingly, we cannot and does not guarantee that your transaction information is completely secure and safe from such risks. For the avoidance of doubt, we expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to ensuring, guaranteeing or otherwise offering any definitive promise of security in connection with your personal information, transaction information or usage information.

Other Information We Collect

We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our Web site(s); research and development; customer- and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.

Cookies

USPAE may use “cookies” to store personal data on your computer. We may also link information stored on your computer in cookies with personal data about specific individuals stored on our servers. If you set up your Web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox) so that cookies are not allowed, you might not be able to use some or all of the features of our Web site(s).

External Data Storage Sites

We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom we have contracted.

Notice To European Union Users

USPAE’s operations are located in the United States. If you provide information to us, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) to the United States. By providing personal information to us, you are consenting to its storage and use as described herein.
