Cookies, Web Beacons, and other Technologies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information
from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer
service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which
people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Laptops
For Less Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information
non-identifiable. This anonymous information is sometimes known
as "clickstream data." Laptops For Less or others on
Laptops For Less’s behalf may use this data to analyze trends
and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a
transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction
in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable
information such as clickstream data. This information is used
and analyzed, at an aggregate level only, to help us understand
trends and patterns about our website. This information is not
reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction
details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous
paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including
one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that
a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored
on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer
but not you. Some Laptops For Less pages use cookies, sent by
Laptops For Less or its third party vendors, or other technologies
to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set
your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set
your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, our web
sites may not work properly.
Some Laptops For Less Web sites also use Web beacons
or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide
better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a
number of pages across Laptops For Less Web sites. When a visitor
accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit
is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers.
These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If
you do not want your cookie information to be associated with
your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off
cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies
will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they
generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie
information and are disregarded.
Online Advertising
Certain companies help us deliver interactive on-line
advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and
use information about customers to help us to understand better
the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most
appealing to our customers. After it is collected the information
is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual.
Disclosures Required by Law
Under certain circumstances, it is possible that
Personally Identifiable Information may be subject to disclosure
pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants,
or orders.
Privacy Technology
Technology will increasingly help give you more control
over your Personally Identifiable Information. It will also help
organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies.
Laptops For Less supports the development of privacy technologies
to help achieve goals that create greater trust and confidence
in the way Personally Identifiable Information is handled.
Links to Non Laptops For Less Websites
Laptops For Less Web sites may contain links to other
Web sites. Laptops For Less is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of those other Web sites.
Notification of Change
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy
at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions
shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may
be given by means including, but not limited to issuing an email
to the email address listed by registered users, a notice posted
on our Web site home page or via a posting on this page of the
revised Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it
is your responsibility to maintain a valid email address as a
registered user, review this site and this Policy periodically
and to be aware of any modifications. Your continued use of the
site after such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment
of the modified Policy; and (b) agreement to abide and be bound
by the modified Policy.
