Information Collection and Use
Chinaramic Enterprise Limited is the
sole owner of this website. We will not sell, share, or rent
user's supplied information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this statement. Chinaramic Enterprise
Limited collects information from our users at several different
points on our website.
Registration
In order to buy a product at this website,
a user must first complete the registration form. During registration
a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our website for which they
have expressed interest to participate. It is optional for
the user to provide demographic information (such as income
level and gender), but encouraged so we can provide a more
personalized experience on our website.
Order
We request information from the user
on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information
(like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored
on the user's hard drive containing information about the
user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our website. Once the user
closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our website, the user would not have
to login with a password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our website. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our website. The only drawback to this is that the
user will be limited in some areas of our website. Cookies
can also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our website.
Some of our business partners use cookies
on our website (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the website, track user's movement, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic
information with our partners and advertisers. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
We 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.
We partner with another party to provide
specific services. When the user signs up for these services,
we will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services. These
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This website may contain links to other
websites. Please be aware that we, Chinaramic Enterprise Limited
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our website and to read the privacy statements of each and
every website that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by this website.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our
newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and
email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our website requests
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the
user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of this website.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our website, we ask them
for the friend's name and email address. Chinaramic Enterprise
Limited will automatically send the friend a one-time email
inviting them to visit the website. Chinaramic Enterprise
Limited stores this information for the sole purpose of sending
this one-time email. The friend may contact Chinaramic Enterprise
Limited at www.Chinaramic.com to request
the removal of this information from our database.
Security
This website takes every precaution
to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks
users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need
the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the
servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked door.
If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to enquiry@chinaramic.com
.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly
fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is necessary for
us to supplement the information we receive with information
from 3rd party sources.
For example, in order for this website
to enhance its ability to tailor the website to an individual's
preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits
of users with similar information from our partners, companies
within the Chinaramic Group, to create a personalized user
profile. When a user makes a purchase, request, or participate
in activities from these companies, the companies collect
and share that information with us so we can tailor the website
to our users' preferences.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming
email to verify password and username. Established members
will occasionally receive information on products, services,
special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy
of our users we present the option to not receive these types
of communications. Please see our choice to opt-out.
Website and Service Updates
We also send the user website and service
announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe
from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to their
account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable
information changes (such as your name), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to
correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided
to us. This can usually be done at the member information
page or by emailing our Customer Support. For all intents
and purposes, a user must login and use this website at least
once every 6 months, otherwise that particular user's information
will be deleted and cleared from our database.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity
to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes
not directly related to our website at the point where we
ask for the information. For example, our registration form
has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who want to participate
on our website, but don't want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive
our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners
may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying
to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email.
Users of our website are always notified
when their information is being collected by any outside parties.
We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to
whether they should proceed with services that require an
outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose
it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email.
Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
