Information gathering
POWERSTORM CORPORATION gathers voluntary
information from our users primarily through their
interaction on our web sites. This information
takes the form of entered information as products
are purchased and by using our "E-mail this web site
to a friend" feature. Under no circumstances does
POWERSTORM CORPORATION divulge any information about
an individual user to a third party.
Entered information is in the form of name,
address, e-mail address and credit card processing
information required to conduct safe and secure
electronic business transactions. Our users may
also voluntarily choose to electronically forward a
link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"E-mail this web site to a friend". The user must
provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the
case of transmission errors and, of course, to let
the recipient know who sent the e-mail.
POWERSTORM CORPORATION gathers information
through tracking data derived mainly by tallying
page views throughout our web sites. This
information allows us to better tailor our content
to customers' needs and to help us better understand
the demographics of our audience.
We do not correlate this information with data
about individual users. POWERSTORM CORPORATION does
break down overall usage statistics according to a
user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by
reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser). We
use this tracking information to determine which
areas of our site users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build
better sites for you.
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we never
knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Information storage
POWERSTORM CORPORATION may place a text file
called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain
personal information although it enables us to
relate your use of this site to information that you
specifically and knowingly provide. The only
personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply yourself. A cookie can't
read data off your hard disk or read cookie files
created by other sites.
POWERSTORM CORPORATION uses cookies to track user
traffic patterns (as described above). Our ordering
process also uses cookies to determine which items
have been placed in the shopping cart. This
information is never used for anything else. You
can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you receive the warning message
with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to shop online at this site.
Information use
POWERSTORM CORPORATION uses any information
voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
experience on our sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the site or
to better prepare future content based on the
interests of our users.
POWERSTORM CORPORATION never shares this
information with any third parties, including
advertisers, sponsors or partners. When we use
tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to
those areas, we do not track what individual users
read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
Privacy policy changes
Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and
only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers. If
POWERSTORM CORPORATION decides to change this
privacy policy, we will post those changes on this
page so you remain aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances
we disclose it.
By using this site, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by POWERSTORM
CORPORATION.
