OR "OUR", IN UPPER OR LOWER CASE)
TAKES THE PRIVACY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION VERY SERIOUSLY AND WILL
USE YOUR INFORMATION ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY
POLICY. CAREFULLY REVIEW IT BEFORE SHARING ANY INFORMATION WITH US.
BY USING THIS WEBSITE (the "WEBSITE"),
YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND
THAT YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST 18 YEARS
OF AGE OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU ARE
PROHIBITED FROM USING THIS WEBSITE AND ANY CONTINUED USE IS
UNAUTHORIZED.
THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY UZ GROUP WITHOUT PRIOR
WRITTEN NOTICE AT ANY TIME, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.� THE LATEST VERSION
OF THE TERMS OF USE WILL BE POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE, AND YOU SHOULD
REVIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY PRIOR TO USING THIS WEBSITE. YOUR CONTINUED
USE OF THIS WEBSITE SIGNIFIES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFIED PRIVACY
POLICY.
- Types of Information Collected. In order
to provide you with our services, we collect two types of information
about you: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally
Identifiable Information.
- Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to
information with specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain
activities on this Website, such as registering as a user, ordering a
product or service, or sending us feedback (collectively, the "Services"),
we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself., such
as your name, address, nationality, country of residence, email
address, telephone number, and/or other personal identifying
information. Also, when purchasing products or services from us, you
may be asked to provide a credit card number, billing address, and
similar information. Depending upon the activity, some of the
information we ask you to provide is mandatory and some is voluntary.
If you do not provide the mandatory information with respect to a
particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to
information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.
We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on
our Website in several ways. This information is compiled and
analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information
may include the Website's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL")
that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you
are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL
is the global address of documents and other resources on the World
Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on
a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks
like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on
the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a
number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you
are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your
computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to
communicate on the Internet.
- Collection Methods and Use of Information.
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you
unless you voluntarily provide it to us.� You provide certain
Personally Identifiable Information to us when you (a) register on our
Website; (b) make reservations and/or order our products or services;
(c) send email messages, submit forms or transmit other information to
us; or (c) submit your credit card or other payment information when
purchasing products and services from us. We may also collect
information from you at other points on our Website that state that
such information is being collected.
In addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad server
and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store
categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address
to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our
Website and to gather demographic information. Our third party ad
servers will also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports
that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our
Website.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to
provide our Services to you, subject to our agreements with you. We
will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the
operation of Services and improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, statistically analyze the use of the Services, improve our
Services, and customize our Services and Website.� We may use
Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and
to contact you regarding administrative matters.� We may also use
Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of
Use, Terms of Sale, and this Privacy Policy.
- Release of Information.� We do not sell,
trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others.� We
and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information
to operate our Website and to perform the Services.� For example, we
provide some of our Services through contractual arrangements with
affiliates, service providers, partners and other third parties, such
as in the case of processing credit card payments.��
We will encourage our service partners to adopt post privacy
policies.� However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information
by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those
service partners, and is not subject to our control.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial
authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the
appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally
Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to
cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with
law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for
illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement
agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.�
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our
customers� sales, traffic patterns, and related Website information to
third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any
Personally Identifiable Information.
- Updating and Correcting Information. You
have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable
Information that you have provided to us.� You have the obligation to
correct and update your Personally Identifiable Information promptly.�
You may do so by accessing your account in accordance with
instructions posted elsewhere on this Website.� You may also correct
and update your Personally Identifiable Information by writing us at
the address provided at the end of this document.
You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or
removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions, you
cannot delete information associated with past transactions with us.�
In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information
without some residual information remaining stored in backups.
- User Choices on Collection and Use of Information.�
We may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and
services. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are
interested in receiving offers or information from us and our
partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and
services that we feel may be of interest to you.� Only UZ Group (or
agents working on behalf of UZ Group and under confidentiality
agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you
indicated that you do not object to these offers.� If you do not want
to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your
Personally Identifiable Information.� Or, at any time you can easily
edit your account information to no longer receive such offers and
mailings.
You also have choices with respect to cookies, as described below.
By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept
all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all
cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts of our Website
may not work properly in your case.�
- Security of Information. We secure your
Personally Identifiable Information consistent with current industry
standards. The security of all Personally Identifiable Information is
of utmost concern to us.� Your Personally Identifiable Information is
protected in several ways. �Access by you to your Personally
Identifiable Information is available through a password and unique
user ID selected by you.� This password is encrypted. We recommend
that you not divulge your password to anyone. �In addition, your
Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that
only selected UZ Group personnel and contractors have access to via
password. We encrypt your Personally Identifiable Information in an
attempt to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to us.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information also resides on a secure
server and is only accessible via password. Since this information is
not accessible from outside UZ Group you will not be asked to select a
password in order to view or modify such information.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and
order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking,
processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the
information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other
payment information and to process and ship your order.�
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we
strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you
acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the
Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and
privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and
us cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be
viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
- Cookies.� When you use our Website we will
store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize
your use of our Website. A cookie is a small data text file, which a
website stores on your computer�s hard drive (if your Web browser
permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us.� Our
cookies store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the
country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back
to our Website. The cookies make your use of the Website easier, make
the Website run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure
Website.� You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, but our Website or Services may not work properly in that
case.�
We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner
advertisements on our Website. As part of their service, they will
place a separate cookie on your computer.� We will not provide any
third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable
Information or information about your purchases.� We and our third
party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable
Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the
server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code
associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular
ad.� Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our Website in the
same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally
Identifiable Information to them.�
- Privacy Policies of Third Party Websites.�
Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this policy only
addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.�
Other Websites accessible through our Website have their own privacy
policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please
consult each Website�s privacy policy.� We are not responsible for the
policies or practices of third parties.� Additionally, other companies
which place advertising on our Website may collect information about
you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of
cookies. We cannot control this collection of information. You should
contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about
their use of the information that they collect.
- Miscellaneous Privacy Issues. You are not
authorized to use our Website or our Services unless you are at least
18 years old.� We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally
Identifiable Information about visitors that are under 18 years of
age.
You should also be aware that when Personally Identifiable
Information is voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, email address,
etc.) through our Website or Services, that information, along with any
information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used
by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third
parties. Such activities are beyond our control and this Privacy Policy
does not apply to such information.� Any submissions to public areas on
this Website are accepted with the understanding that they are
accessible to all third parties. �If you do not want your comments to
be viewed by third parties, you are advised not to make any submissions
to such public areas.� Ultimately, you are solely responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of your password and/or account information.
Please be careful and responsible in protecting your password and
account information.

Services or your dealings with us, please contact us by e-mail directed
