COLLECTION
OF INFORMATION & USE THEREOF
It
is Transpo's policy to respect and protect the privacy
of visitors to Transpo's website. Accordingly, Transpo
DOES NOT extract without permission personal information
about its visitors or their computer at any time while
on Transpo's website. Transpo will, however, analyze
information about our visitors as a group to make
our website better, but visitors are not individually
identified when we do this.
Transpo
will collect personal information such as names, home
addresses, e-mail addresses, age, etc., but only when
a visitor voluntarily gives it to us in the process
of ordering subscriptions to the Transpo newsletters
or registering with the Transpo website. This information
is used internally by Transpo to fulfill your requests
and for marketing and research purposes. Transpo will
NOT sell, rent or give a visitor's personal information
to any third party unless Transpo asks for and receives
the visitor's permission at the time the personal
information is collected. Transpo does however, share
aggregate information about the users of Transpo's
website with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors
and certain others. As mentioned above, this aggregate
information is used to develop, improve and customize
Transpo's website to better serve visitors to our
website. Where Transpo-usa.com's information collection
activities involve children, Transpo-usa.com provides
special privacy protections.
Transpo
is committed to protecting the online privacy of children.
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act ("COPPA"), Transpo will not knowingly collect
any personally identifiable information from children
under the age of thirteen (13) without first obtaining
parental consent. Prior to providing any personally
identifiable information (your name, email address,
address, phone number etc.), either by placing an
order for merchandise, setting up a Transpo-usa.com
account, or participating in any other activity offered
through the Transpo-usa.com site, children under the
age of thirteen (13) must have a parent or legal guardian
complete and return (by mail or fax) a Parental Consent
Form to Transpo-usa.com - Transpo Electronics, Inc.,
ADDRESS HERE; or by fax to: FAX
# HERE. The consent form states that the
child's "Parent" or "Legal Guardian", by his or her
signature, consents to the collection and transfer
of the child's personally identifiable information.
Consent may be revoked by completing a "Transpo Revocation
of Parental Consent Form" and sending it to the address
or fax number above.
In
compliance with COPPA, Transpo is sensitive about
children consulting with parents or guardians before
furnishing personal information or ordering anything
online. It's also Transpo's intention to adhere to
the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) Guidelines
on Internet advertising with its special sensitivities
regarding solicitations to children under thirteen
(13). Transpo encourages parents/guardians to supervise
and join their children in exploring cyberspace. Transpo
is proud of its website and believes that it is suitable
for Transpo fans of all ages.
Please
note that if a parent does not permit Transpo-usa.com's
use or collection of personally identifiable information
or has instructed Transpo to delete personally identifiable
information, a child's participation in those Transpo-usa.com
activities for which the personally identifiable information
has been requested may not be possible.
Transpo
will not disclose information collected from children
under the age of thirteen (13) (or from adults for
that matter) to third parties unless indicated otherwise
or in special cases where Transpo has reason to believe
that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference (whether intentionally or
unintentionally) with Transpo's rights or property
or anyone else who may be harmed by such actions or
if required by law.
Transpo
recommends that parents/guardians monitor and supervise
the online activities of their children and to consider
using available parental control tools which can prevent
children from disclosing their name, address, and
other personal information without parental permission.
Visitors to Transpo's website who are under thirteen
(13) years old should not be submitting any personal
information like their name, address, e-mail address,
phone number etc. without a parent's or guardian's
permission.
CORRESPONDENCE & WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS
Transpo uses automated e-mail systems to e-mail weekly
newsletters and to collect and answer correspondence
from our visitors. While Transpo may not have the
time or manpower to individually answer each piece
of correspondence, we do read all of them!
Transpo
tries to make it easy for visitors to contact Transpo-usa.com
and we provide easy instructions on our website on
how you can either edit information previously given
(such as your address) or remove yourself from automated
messages generated by Transpo. Should you have a technical
problem doing this please contact Webmaster@Transpo-usa.com.
COOKIES
Transpo
uses "cookie" technology to enhance a visitor's online
experience by making it easier to navigate through
our website or to make an activity work better.
Cookies
are small pieces of information or files that a website
puts on a computer's hard disk for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies allow a computer to "remember" information
from our website for future use. The use of cookies
is an industry standard and is practiced by most major
websites.
Transpo
DOES NOT use cookies to collect or record personally
identifiable information about visitors to Transpo-usa.com.
Transpo uses information collected by cookies to learn
about our visitors' preferences, so that we can make
our website better. The information is about our visitors

REQUESTS FOR FEEDBACK
Transpo-usa.com
may request feedback from visitors regarding an activity
or piece of content on the Transpo-usa.com website.
Feedback is used for internal purposes only, and any
personally identifiable information that is accidentally
submitted is deleted.
ADVERTISEMENTS
AND LINKS
Transpo-usa.com
may include advertisements and/or links to websites
operated by third parties that are not sponsors and
are not affiliated with Transpo. Transpo tries to
make sure that when there are links off the Transpo
website, they are working and lead visitors to interesting,
fun and informative areas. However, it is hard to
guarantee what exactly is presented on other sites
or where links elsewhere may lead. Transpo is not
responsible for the content, practices, or information
provided or requested on websites operated by third
parties. Further, advertisements on and links to or
from Transpo-usa.com do not constitute sponsorship,
endorsement, or approval by Transpo of the content,
policies, practices or products or services offered
on these websites. Transpo-usa.com will always mark
advertisements as advertisements and will display
and notify visitors when they are leaving Transpo-usa.com.
Parents/guardians
should check each website's privacy policy and terms
of use in order to understand their policies and practices
regarding the collection and use of personally identifiable
information. Transpo also suggests that parents/guardians
review the privacy policies of all websites that their
children visit, including those websites linking to
or from the Transpo websites. Information provided
to those websites will be subject to the privacy policy
posted at that website.
SECURITY
The
importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with Transpo-usa.com visitors
is of utmost concern to us. Transpo exercises great
care and implements a variety of technologies to make
the Transpo website as secure as possible against
unauthorized access and to protect the information
visitors choose to provide to us. Transpo periodically
reviews and updates these measures. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be one hundred percent (100%) secure. As a result,
while Transpo strives to protect a visitor's personal
information, Transpo can not ensure or warrant the
security of any information transmitted to us or from
our online products or services, and a visitor does
so at his/her own risk. Transpo uses the industry
standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption when
credit card information is transmitted to us.
