How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the
safety of your personal information. Your personal
information is contained behind secured networks and is only
accessible by a limited number of persons who have special
access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the
information confidential. When you place orders or access
your personal information, we offer the use of a secure
server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is
transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and
then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as
stated above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service
provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through
your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or
service provider's systems to recognize your browser and
capture and remember certain information. For instance, we
use cookies to help us remember and process the items in
your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand
your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We
also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about
site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer
better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist
us in better understanding our site visitors. These service
providers are not permitted to use the information collected
on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our
business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a
cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all
cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a
little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn
the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies
off, you won't have access to many features that make your
site experience more efficient and some of our services will
not function properly. However, you can still place orders
over the telephone by contacting customer service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside
parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside
parties your personally identifiable information unless we
provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
The term "outside parties" does not include RushShops.com.
It also does not include website hosting partners and other
parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting
our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties
agree to keep this information confidential. We may also
release your information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site
policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or
safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may
be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or
other uses.
