Collection of Personal Information from Website Visitors
In order to provide you with access to certain services or information on our Sites, we may require you to provide certain personal information. This information may include your name, screen name or subscriber name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, password for accessing our services, payment method, and, if applicable, payment information, such as the number and expiration date of a credit card for online purchases.
We also automatically collect and track (1) information about the domain name of home servers, IP address, client computer type, and web browser type of visitors to our Sites, as well as (2) aggregate and specific information about the pages accessed by visitors.
Collection of Other Information
Toner Webshop uses various tools and technologies to automatically collect information including cookies, clickstream and web beacons.
Cookies
Our websites use a technology called “cookies” so that we can better serve our visitors when they purchase a product on our Sites, request additional information about our company, products or services or participate in various activities listed on our Sites. A cookie is a text file that is placed on a user’s computer’s hard drive when visiting certain websites.
These cookies may be placed by us or by third-party vendors and are used to obtain information such as a visitor’s username, the contents of a shopping cart and web pages or advertisements viewed by the visitor. When the visitor returns to our Sites, we can recognize him or her by the internet cookie so that we can customize the user experience for the visitor.
You can set your browser to display a message when you receive a cookie. You can then decide whether or not to accept the cookie. However, without cookies you may not be able to fully utilize the functions of our Site. For example, if you disable or reject cookies, you will not be able to make purchases on our Sites.
Clickstream
Some of our Sites may collect information about the “clickstream” of our customers as they visit our Sites. Clickstream data includes the pages from which visitors come, the navigation paths visitors take, and the portions of the Sites they visit.
We track such data both on and off our Sites from time to time. In addition, we may track clickstream data from time to time and link it to personal information you provide to us in order to provide you with information and other benefits, such as products and services that enhance your customer experience.
Web Beacon
Certain email communications you receive from us may contain “web beacons.” Web beacons consist of a line of code on our Sites that delivers a small graphic image from another website or a third-party ad server. The web beacon may not be visible because it is typically 1×1 pixel in size and is designed to blend into the background of a web page. Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page containing the web beacon, the URL of the page containing the web beacon, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We may use web beacons to, for example, monitor the effectiveness of advertising banners in our e-mail distributions.
Use of Personal Data
The personal data that we collect via our sites is used, among other things, to process orders and information requests, for marketing and advertising of products of Toner Webshop and other organizations that we think may be of interest to you, for feedback purposes, for statistical analysis of user behavior, for developing or improving products, for improving content, for notifications of upcoming events, and for changes to the content and layout of our sites. Names, postal and email addresses, and telephone numbers collected through our sites may be used to contact you about our products and services and upcoming events in which we believe you may be interested.
We may also use the personal information you provide to Toner Webshop for internal purposes, such as the administration and operation of our Sites, data analysis, and compliance with our legal obligations, policies, and procedures.
Sharing of Personal Information
We will not share or otherwise disclose any personal information about visitors to our site except as described here and as permitted by law. Toner Webshop may share your personal information with third parties who perform services for and on our behalf (for example, credit card companies, financial institutions, transportation companies, consultants, advisors, and market research companies). Service providers and suppliers must maintain the confidentiality and security of the personal information they receive from us and may not use it for purposes other than those originally intended. We may also disclose personal information if, in our sole discretion, it is necessary or appropriate to prevent fraud, injury or damage to persons or property, to protect our rights or the rights of others, or as required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
We may also provide, rent, sell, or otherwise share the personal information we collect about you for marketing campaigns conducted by us or by other companies or organizations that offer products or services that we believe may be of interest to our customers. Depending on local law, you may opt-out or refuse the use and/or sharing of your personal information for marketing purposes in the Your Choices section below.
Protecting Personal Information
We have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the personal information you provide on our sites from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Transferring Personal Information to Other Countries
Where permitted by local law and regulation, we may transfer the personal information we collect on our sites to other countries where we and our service providers maintain operations, but we will do so only for the purposes described above. When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Statement, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Use of Non-Toner Webshop Websites.
This Privacy Statement applies only to information collected during your use of the sites. Our sites may contain links to other websites that may operate independently of Toner Webshop. These and other websites may also contain references or links to our sites. Toner Webshop is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other non-Toner Webshop websites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each other site you use.
