Privacy Policy
This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for S3 Stores websites.
We take our obligations with regard to your personal information seriously, and have created this privacy policy to inform you of the information gathering and dissemination practices of this website.
In wishing to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information-collecting practices and to notify you of the types of personal information collected on this website, how it is used, with whom it may be shared, what choices are available to you, what security procedures are in place, and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
If you feel that S3 Stores is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, please contact us.
Information Collection and Use
S3 Stores is the sole owner of the information we collect on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this policy statement. We collect information from our users at several different points on this website for purposes such as processing orders, improving our services, and providing customer support.
Membership and Ordering
When you make a purchase on our website, you choose to become a member. You provide information such as your name, email address, billing and shipping address, telephone number, and form of payment, and you choose your own member identification and password for future purchases. We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have difficulty processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with you.
Sharing
S3 Stores does not share your private information with other companies, except as necessary to provide services you request. For example, we may use an outside shipping company to ship orders and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond fulfilling your order.
Cookies and Usage Tracking
S3 Stores sites employ web browser cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's device containing information about the user. We use cookies to identify your visit session, customize your user experience, create website analytical data, and support advertising and remarketing. You may use features of your web browser to block or delete cookies, but some site features may no longer work properly if cookies are disabled.
Our systems may also log information such as IP addresses, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, and track user movement in the aggregate.
Aggregate Information, Surveys, and Communications
We may use aggregate information from demographic surveys, traffic patterns, and IP addresses to customize our site and plan advertising or promotions. Aggregate information may occasionally be shared with partners, but we do not share personally identifiable information.
From time to time, users may be given the opportunity to opt-in to receive notifications, newsletters, catalogs, or other information via email or mail. Participation in surveys or promotional programs is optional, and any email we send to an opt-in list includes directions for how to remove yourself from the list.
Referrals, Special Requests, and Managing Your Information
If you use our referral features to inform a friend about us or an item on our site, we may ask for your friend's name and email address in order to send a one-time invitation. Your friend may opt out of further communications.
Our special request pages allow customers to inquire about products they cannot find on the website. Personal information gathered during this process is used strictly for replying to inquiries, billing purposes, and fulfilling orders.
If your personally identifiable information changes or if you no longer desire our services, we provide ways to correct, update, or delete/deactivate your information that has been provided to us.
Links
This website contains links to other sites, whether owned or controlled by S3 Stores or unrelated third parties. Please be aware that the privacy policies of those sites may differ from those of S3 Stores, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage users to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
Online and Offline Security
S3 Stores takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via our website, we take steps to protect your information both online and offline, including the use of encryption technologies such as SSL for payment processing where applicable.
Access to personally identifiable information is restricted in our offices to employees who need the information to perform specific job functions. Systems are protected by passwords and other reasonable security measures, and servers storing personal information are kept in secure environments under restricted access.
Privacy Policy Changes
In the event of any changes to the S3 Stores Privacy Policy, we will post the changes to this page and/or other appropriate places so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We use information only in accordance with the privacy policy under which that information was collected, unless we obtain your consent to use it otherwise.
If at any time we plan to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you when required so that you may choose whether or not to allow us to use your information in this new manner.
