Use of Cookies
The National Shrink Database Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk
by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by
a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize National Shrink Database pages,
or register with National Shrink Database site or services, a cookie helps National
Shrink Database to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies
the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping
addresses, and so on. When you return to the same National Shrink Database Web site,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use
the National Shrink Database features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the National Shrink Database services or Web sites you
visit.
Security of your Personal Information
National Shrink Database secures your personal information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. National Shrink Database secures the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment,
protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information
(such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected
through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
National Shrink Database will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. National Shrink Database encourages you to periodically
