place an order, we collect and store some or all of
the following information that you provide: name, billing
address, shipping address, e-mail address, telephone
number, credit card number and expiration date. This
information is used to provide the products and services
that you have ordered or requested, to process and ship
orders, to send order and shipping confirmations and
to provide customer service. This information also may
be used to contact you about sales, special offers and
new site features, unless you have opted not to receive
promotional communications in connection with this Web

We collect and store certain other information automatically
whenever you interact with this Web site. For example,

reference site domain name every time you visit this
Web site. We also collect information regarding customer
traffic patterns and site usage. This information is
used to analyze and improve this Web site and to provide
our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience.
Also, like many Web sites, we use "cookies",
which are files stored on your computer's hard drive
by your browser. Cookies help us to identify account
holders and to optimize their shopping experience. Cookies
also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart
when a user leaves this Web site without checking out.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow
you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies
"turned on" so that we can offer you a better
shopping experience on this Web site.
We also may collect and store information about you
that we receive from other sources, to enable us to
update and correct the information contained in our
database and to provide product recommendations and
special offers that we think will interest you.
Is Information Collected From Children?
We do not sell or ship any items ordered through this
Web site directly to anyone who we know to be under
the age of 18, nor do we collect any personal information
from anyone who we know to be under the age of 18. If
you are under the age of 18, you should use this Web
site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian
and should not submit any personal information to us.
With Whom Do You Share Information?
We do not share with others any personal information
that you provide to us through this Web site or through
our Customer Service Department, except with your consent
or as described in this Privacy Policy.
We engage third parties to perform services in connection
with the operation of our business. Examples of these
services include payment processing and authorization,
fraud protection and credit risk reduction, product
customization, order fulfillment and shipping, marketing
and promotional material distribution, Web site evaluation,
data analysis and, where applicable, data cleansing.
We provide personal information to these third parties,
but we authorize them to use this information only in
connection with the services they perform.
We also may offer you the opportunity to purchase products
and services provided by third parties, such as magazine
subscriptions and extended warranty plans. If you purchase
any of these products or services, we will provide your
personal information to the third parties that provide
them, but we authorize these third parties to use this
information only in connection with the products and
services they provide.
We may release personal information if we believe in
good faith that: the law or legal process requires it;
we have received a valid administrative request from
a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary
to protect the rights, property or safety of PSC or
any of our affiliates, business partners, customers
or others.
We may share non-personal information with our marketing
partners, advertisers and others from time to time.
Examples of such non-personal information include the
number of users who visited this Web site during a specific
time period or purchased a specific product through
this Web site. This information generally is shared
in an aggregated form.
As with any business, it is possible that as our business
develops, we might sell or buy online stores or other
assets. In such transactions, information about customers
often is among the transferred assets. Accordingly,
in the unlikely event that PSC or substantially all
of our assets are acquired by a third party, such information
may be one of the transferred assets (unless the information
was collected under a previous Privacy Policy that did
not permit such disclosure). Under such circumstances,
we would to the extent possible require the acquiring
party to follow the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?
We use various security measures, including Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) encryption technology, to protect personal
information that we collect. If you place an order
through this Web site, you will be asked to set up an
account and provide an e-mail address and password. You
must provide an appropriate e-mail address and password
in order to access account information. In order to help
protect your personal information further, you should be
careful about providing your password to others. If you
wish to cancel a password, or if you become aware of any
loss, theft or unauthorized use of a password, please
contact our Customer Service Department by e-mail at
budostoreuk@hotmail.com
