| Your Privacy Counts....
At Garrett Smart Electronics we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to ensure that we provide you with the best services to suit your needs.
What We Collect and Where Do We Collect It?
All users of the site are free to explore most of the site without providing any personal information to Garrett Smart Electronics. At other areas of the site you may be asked to provide the following information:
Users may want to place an order with Garrett Smart Electronics. At that time, users will be asked to provide certain information, such as name, address, e-mail and, where appropriate, credit card information in order to make a
purchase.
We collect your e-mail address when you contact us by e-mail so that we may respond to your e-mail.
We also collect your email for special sales that Garrett Smart Electronics may want you to know about. (i.e. Christmas, and other important holidays)
As with most web sites, we monitor where users of the site travel throughout the site so that we can develop a better understanding of the areas of greatest interest.
How Does Garrett Smart Electronics Use This Information?
Navigational
Our system automatically gathers information about the areas visited by both members and users. To do this, Garrett Smart Electronics logs IP addresses (in other words, the location of your computer on the Internet) for system administration, troubleshooting
and to examine overall traffic trends. (For example, IP addresses help us determine the number of people coming from various gateways, such as AOL.) We do not use any of this navigational data on an individual basis. Nor do we share any of this data with
outside companies. We do use navigational information in the aggregate to understand how our users travel around the site as a group to use the services that we offer. We collect that information so that Garrett Smart Electronics can constantly improve the
site. We may also share this statistical information with our partners or other outside companies, but in doing so, we do not disclose individual names or personal navigational information.
Personal
When you become a customer of Garrett Smart Electronics, we will ask you for some information, such as name, address and email. When you go to buy a product, additional information, such as your preferred method of payment and your shipping address, will be
required.
We might, from time to time, use the information provided to send you alerts about upcoming events and promotions and to create general customer profiles. You can -- at any time -- "opt-out" of receiving such communication by replying to the email stating that
you do not wish in the future to receive such information.
Do We Sell, Trade or Disclose Your Personal Information?
Garrett Smart Electronics does not disclose, share, sell or trade any personal or individual information that it collects to third parties other than in the course of completing a transaction that you have requested or in
response to an investigation involving legal matters. For example, depending on shipping arrangements, we may release your name, e-mail and phone number to the seller, only after you have made a purchase and funds have been collected by Garrett Smart
Electronics. This is necessary to ensure that shipping and delivery are completed satisfactorily for both the buyer and seller. While we may provide information regarding site usage to third parties, such as traffic reports and sale information, this
information will not include any of your personal information.
Cookies
"Cookies" are pieces of data your browser stores on your computer's hard drive. Garrett Smart Electronics uses a cookie to customize portions of our site to your preferences. The cookie, by itself, does not tell us (or anyone
else) who you are, your email address, or anything else personal. You provide that information when you buy from Garrett Smart Electronics and only Garrett Smart Electronics has access to that information and we will not share that information with others
except in the course of completing the transaction.
How Does Garrett Smart Electronics Protect Customer Information?
Garrett Smart Electronics uses a secure server on the check out pages. The servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an advanced encryption technology that safeguards your personal information and guarantees privacy.
Links
We keep track of links that appear on our site that you may use to exit our site, but we do not keep track of where you go on the World Wide Web. The Web sites you visit may have their own privacy policies or no policy at all.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Web sites before providing them with any of your personal information. Garrett Smart Electronics is not responsible for the privacy policies of those sites nor for any cookies those sites may deposit on your
hard drive.
About Children
Garrett Smart Electronics does not target children nor does Garrett Smart Electronics expect to attract children to its site. Because we are not a children's site, we do not provide most of the privacy measures that are so
important for their protection on the Internet. Because of this, we ask that minors do not submit information to Garrett Smart Electronics without the express consent and participation of a parent or guardian.
Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here for seven (7) days so that you will always know what information we have gathered, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to
anyone.
Your Ability to Confirm Information
We provide you with the opportunity to review, update or correct your information that we have on file. Just as you want to make sure that information Garrett Smart Electronics has about you is accurate, we want to keep
only the most up-to-date information about your order. Therefore, whenever you want to review your information, or believe that your contact or billing information needs updating, you can call or email the customer service department. For assistance please
contact Garrett Smart Electronics at at; sales@garrett-smarthome.com if you would like to confirm the information that you have previously provided
to us.
Removing Your Information from Our Records
If for some reason, you want us to remove your credit card and contact information from our database, we will -- after all of your transactions have been completed. All you have to do is send us an email at
sales@garrett-smarthome.com Such information, however, is never completely removed from our database archives because we routinely back up our servers for disaster recovery and tax-record purposes.
Disclosures Required Under Law
Garrett Smart Electronics will disclose personal information or information collected on about your use of the site in response to valid requests by legal authorities or in order to comply with the legal process.
If you have any questions or feedback you would like to share with us please email us at; sales@garrett-smarthome.com
