What Information Do We Collect?
When visiting our web site, you may provide us with two types of information. We collect non-personal navigational information that the site gathers and uses on a collective basis as you and others browse. You also provide personal information you voluntarily choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration Information
When you register to be a user of our services, you will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company, and your practices. You may establish an account, create a wish list, register for certain services, sign up for emails and updates.
Your Carpe Tee'M Account
Personal information relating to you and your order history is only available to you if you provide the password that you create. After providing your password, you can edit or delete your information at any time through the "My Account" page at our Club House.
If you forget your password, you may retrieve it by following the prompts at sign in. We do not give passwords over the phone, nor will we email them to a different email address than the one used to register.
The addresses located in the "my account" page are in your personal storage space. We do not use the names of people in your address section to send emails or promotions. These names and addresses are accessible to you to readily place orders.
Email Information
We may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses; when you correspond with us. If you use our "Email this page" feature to send a copy of that page to someone else, your email address will appear as the sender of the email. Both your email address and the recipient's email address will not be used for any other purpose.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Carpe Tee'M will not sell, rent or share your email address with third parties to send you unsolicited email. When you place an order with carpeteem.com we use this information to process and track you order and contact you via email, postal mail or phone if we have any questions or concerns regarding your order. We maintain a record of this order. If you provide an email address you will also receive order and shipping confirmation emails. Generally, we use personal information for purposes of managing and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
Choice/Opt-out
We do not use your information for purposes not directly related to our site or business. However we allow you the choice to opt-out of having your information used for purposes not directly related to our site, when we ask for the information.
Until you explicitly opt-in for the first time we consider you in the opt-out category. We always notify our customers when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
If you do not wish to receive any promotional or marketing e-mails and/or surface mail marketing letters, you may opt-out of receiving those communications by using the opt-out mechanism on the User Account Settings Web page, or by sending an e-mail with the subject line "Unsubscribe" to our e-mail address.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other customers. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We work with reputable third parties who perform services on our behalf. Sometimes these service providers need information about our customers in order to do their jobs, such as fulfill orders and promotions, maintain and manage our customer database and report on customer behavior and preferences.
We also use third parties to facilitate the marketing of our business, including, but not limited to, sending email and processing credit card payments. In connection with these offerings and business operations, our partners and other third parties may have access to your personal information for use in connection with these business activities.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.
