Thank you for visiting Machovec.com. This document is our privacy policy, which we have created in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the protection of the privacy of our customers and visitors. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Machovec.com and any other web site operated by our affiliates.

SALES TRANSACTION SECURITY

Protecting your order. Machovec.com pledges a safe and worry-free shopping experience. We use the industry standard for Internet security, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 128-bit) encryption to scramble your personal and credit card information as it travels over the Internet during the checkout process, ensuring the privacy of your information. We protect all of your personal information , including your name, address, password AND credit card information.

Secure Browser. All orders are performed within a secure browser window using the https Internet protocol. When you click "Check Out" from the Machovec.com shopping cart, the "http" portion of the website address changes to "https". The "s" stands for secure. In addition, both Internet Explorer and Netscape use special symbols to indicate that you're in a web site's secure area. Some browsers also let you know that you're moving in or out of a secure area by notifying you with a special pop-up window that requires you to click "OK" before continuing.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE GATHER OR TRACK

Registration. When you register with Machovec.com you create a user profile. In the profile, Machovec.com asks for your name, e-mail address, a user selected password and other information. Once you are a registered user you can update your profile and may be able to provide other preferential information such as Address and other user preferences.

Order Forms. When you place an order Machovec.com asks you to provide us with contact information, such as name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail address, telephone number and a valid credit card number. We require this information to process your order. Other non-required information we might request includes demographic information and/or purchasing habits so that we can provide a more personalized experience.

IP Address. Machovec.com uses the IP address of our visitors to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our web site and to analyze traffic patterns on our web site (for instance, the number of unique visitors to our web site.). Although IP information must be logged for these purposes, we do not link your IP address to your other personal identifying information, except when cooperating with investigations involving fraudulent or other illegal activity.

Cookies. Machovec.com uses software tags called "cookies" to identify customers when they visit our site. Cookies are stored on you computer, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies" which means that they are automatically deleted at the end of each visit to our web site. Some cookies remain across sessions. In addition to our cookies, some advertisers or web sites that maintain links on our site may also use their own cookies.

A cookie itself does not have the ability to automatically collect personal information about you. A cookie can store certain information that identifies your computer to us so that you don't have to reenter information as frequently when you use our site and so we can personalize your visit to our site. Your browser can be set up to accept or reject cookies. It is important to note that if you choose to reject cookies you will not be able to take advantage of certain features on our site.

Surveys. From time to time we may invite you to participate in a survey so that we can better understand our customers. Participation in a survey is voluntary, and therefore you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.

Communications. If you send us a personal correspondence, such as e-mails and letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on out site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. We use the information in the file that we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your use of the services, to provide better service, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreement for Terms of Use.

If you provide us with you e-mail address, register as a customer, or make a purchase from us, we will occasionally send you e-mail or standard mail with recommendations or notices of new products and/or special offers. These offers may include information about selected paid advertisers. However, at no time will your e-mail address or other personal information be revealed to these paid advertisers unless you provide the consent or chose to conduct business with them of your own accord. If you do not wish to receive such mailings from us, please let us know by sending an e-mail to remove@machovec.com. Be sure to provide the e-mail address and/or physical address that you wish to be opted-out from.
