EMAIL ADDRESS LIST 

Some aspects of this site will require that you provide a valid email address, i.e. inquiries or product purchases. Your email address will be used for the purpose of administering your subscription to these Opt-In features. Should we offer an email newsletter or any other email-based promotional communication, you will be provided the means to Opt-Out.

PRODUCT SALES 

All products or services we offer for sale, require that you fill out an order form with contact information (name, e-mail address, shipping address, etc.) and credit card information. This information is used only to complete the transaction which will be through a third-party processor. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information will be used to contact you. 

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION

We will use an outside credit card processing company (i.e. PayPal or Google checkout systems) for any transactions. We do not acquire, retain, share, rent, sell or use this information for any other purpose except to obtain payment from you. 

LOG FILES 

Our site uses various means to track visitor activity. IP addresses may be used to administer our website to evaluate visitor demographics and traffic counts. IP addresses are not linked to ANY identifiable personal information. 

SHARING OF PERSONAL OR DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We will not disclose, share, reveal, sell or rent any personal information (i.e. identity, address, e-mail address, etc.) with any person or entity. None of the demographic information will include any data which can be used to identify any individual or entity visiting charlieosborn.com. 

LINKS 

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Hightest.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of 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. 

SECURITY

This web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the web site, the information is protected both on-line and off-line. When our credit card processing service asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry--SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. 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. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices, are reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and shown what they can do to ensure that our customers' information is protected. If you have any questions about the security at our web site, you can send us an email.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

If we 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 what 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.
