ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Monumental Battlefields
collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Registration
We do not require registration for the use of this site.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and
shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used
for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user. Our Credit Card Orders are handled through PayPal:
http://www.paypal.com
We do not collect credit card information. Your transaction is handled direct with the credit card processor. We only receive your Name and
Address, along with payment, which is deposited into our account. We use PayPal, because we believe it to be one of the most secure method of credit card
payments on the internet.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We do not use Cookies.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site
(for example, PayPal). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We do not share aggregated demographic information with our partners or advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a
credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for
any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we Monumental Battlefields are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and
every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
We currently do not offer a newsletter. In the future should we offer such, its participation to subscribe to our newsletter, would be totally
voluntary. At such time, we would ask for contact information such as name and email address.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form
asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the
best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’. To learn more about SSL, follow this link
http://developer.netscape.com/tech/security/ssl/howitworks.html
.
While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All
of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their
desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well
as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on
are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about
the security at our website, you can send a letter to Monumental Battlefields, PO Box 3324, Gettysburg, PA 17325.
Special Offers
Past Purchasers may occasionally receive information on
new products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information
changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s
personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we
ask for the information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from
us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our promotional
materials may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying Monumental Battlefields, PO Box 3324, Gettysburg, PA 17325.
Users of our site are always notified when their
information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to
whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
