- What
information does A1toners.com collect from you?
In order to better provide you with numerous products and services,
A1toners.com collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally
Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you
with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our
site.
Personally
Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who
you are. Personal information is requested when you order a product
or service and send us feedback. For example, this information might
include your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number,
e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product
details. With this information, A1toners.com can fill your orders and better
provide you with personalized services. If you visit one of the
stores available through a link on our site, they will independently
collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with
their own privacy policies. If you have questions about their
information practices, please read their privacy policies. In many
cases, you can find a link to their privacy policies on the page offering
the Partners' services.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific
individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where
you shop on our site in several ways. This information is compiled
and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example,
this information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator
("URL") that you just came from, what browser you are using, and your
Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier
for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks
like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on
the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is
a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify
your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to
communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
- Where
do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide A1toners.com's
visitors with a superior customized online experience. We use the customer
contact information to fill orders, contact purchasers to inform them
of their order status, to send promotional information, to enhance the
operation of our site and administer our systems.
Demographic
data also may be collected at our site from third party advertising
servers or content servers, who provide us with the zip code and area
code associated with a visitor's server, along with pages viewed on
our site. We review the actions of the A1toners.com visitors on an aggregate
basis to determine customers' preferences. A1toners.com also does research
on our visitors' demographics, interests, and pages viewed based on
the information provided to us during ordering. We will use this data
to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, to improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site use, to improve
our product offerings, and to customize our site's content, layout,
and services. We receive reports from third party ad servers and content
servers, that tells us how many ads were presented and clicked upon
or what content was served.
We gather
information in the following ways:
Shopping
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration,
to gather broad demographic information, to enable ads to be served
on our site, to report Non-Personally Identifiable Information to
our advertisers, and to monitor the level of activity on our site.
We collect information from visitors to our site regarding the URLs
they came from, domain types (e.g., .com or .org), their IP addresses,
the date and time of their visit or order, the number of visits and
orders, the number of visits per browsing session, the server type,
the operating system and browser type used to come to the site, the
country, state and telephone area code where their servers are located,
the pages and page titles of our site that visitors viewed during
their visit, whether the visitor's computer is enabled for Java or
cookies, browser language, applications and plug-ins, and any search
terms entered on our site.

When you order from us, we collect personally identifiable information
from you. If you order one of our products or services, we will collect
and maintain your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping
address, telephone number, product selections, credit card or other
payment information, order number, referring URL, IP address, page
you bought from and a password. We collect this, and other information,
as disclosed in this Policy, in order to fill your order, to communicate
with you about your order and to send you promotional materials. Before
confirming your order, you will have the opportunity to review the
product order form and make changes and additions to the information
it contained and these changes will be automatically kept for future
use.
