SharkLids EyeGear, Inc. Web Site Privacy Policy

Effective as of June 12, 2006

Welcome to our web site! SharkLids EyeGear, Inc. (“SEINC”) understands your concerns about privacy, in general, and Internet privacy, in particular, and takes these matters very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains SEINC’s policies concerning personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected both online through our web site at www.sharklids.com (the “Web Site”) and offline. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy. This Web Site is intended for use by residents of the United States.

Use and Disclosure

We respect your privacy! All information, if any, collected at this Web Site will be kept strictly confidential, except as described below, and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned, or otherwise unintentionally disclosed. Any information you give to SEINC will be held with the utmost care, and will not be used in ways that you have not consented to. A detailed explanation about how we safeguard your personal information is offered below. When you elect to conduct a commercial transaction through the Web Site (i.e., buy a product), we collect only the Personal Data that is needed to process the transaction, (which may include any or all of the following: your name, postal address, email address, credit card number, phone number, fax number, plus information about your method of purchase, such as amount, credit card information, and product purchased). Because SEINC uses independent, third-party providers and fulfillment agencies to process your transaction, we need to share your Personal Data with such providers and your Personal Data will also be subject to their privacy policies.

Active Information Collection

Like many web sites, this Web Site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).

Some areas of this Web Site may require you to submit information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing) or to participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.

Passive Information Collection

As you navigate through a web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection. A "cookie" is a bit of information that a web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. "Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This Web Site uses session cookies.

"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what areas of the web site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the web site based on your preferences. This Web Site uses persistent cookies. "Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. We do not use Internet tags at this Web Site. "Navigational data" ('log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This Web Site uses navigational data.

Privacy of our E-mail Lists

If you give us your e-mail address and/or postal address, we reserve the right to send you periodic mailings and/or e-mails with information on our products, services, or information on upcoming events. If you do not wish to continue receiving these mailings, you may opt-out as described under the heading: “Opt-out Notification”.

SEINC maintains several email lists within the software functionality of some of our website tools. These lists are for the use of our registered users, within a secure environment, as a means of coordinating project-related information exchanges. We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our list to anyone.

Linking

The Web Site contains links to third-party web sites (“External Sites”). These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by us of the content on such External Sites. If you decide to access linked External Sites, you do so at your own risk and SEINC is not responsible for any damages you may suffer from using such External Sites. You should review the terms of use and privacy policies for those sites before using them. Linking to this Web Site is prohibited without our prior, written agreement.
