Privacy Statement
Privacy and Security Statement We respect the privacy of our customers. This privacy policy statement is designed to help you understand what information we gather online and what we do with that information. Because our Web site will continue to implement new technologies and improve the services and features we provide, this policy is subject to change without prior notice. For that reason, we encourage you to review the privacy policy periodically. Registered users will be notified by e-mail of any material changes in either the scope of the privacy seal, the language of the privacy notice, or our information practices and given the chance to opt-out of any new uses. By using our Web site, you agree to the terms of the privacy policy in effect at that time. Information We Gather The type of information we gather online is summarized into six general categories. The following explains why we collect this information and how we use it. 1. General Tracking Information We keep track of the pages visited by each user. Our Web server automatically collects some information about you when you request pages from our server, including your IP address. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you. We aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns. We use this information to improve our site by making it more responsive to the needs and preferences of our users. This information does not identify you personally. On occasion we may provide this aggregate information to vendors, investors, potential advertisers, or news agencies to demonstrate the amount of interest in the site and to help us plan for technical infrastructure requirements. 2. Click Path Tracking Using cookie technology (see below for more information), we track your click path through our site. We use this information to help customize your visit to our site. 3. Registration Information (only if registered at Shower4ever.com) In order to register on our site, you must provide your: • First and Last Name • Mailing Address • E-Mail Address • Home Phone Number • ZIP Code • Log-In ID • Password Registration is an optional service provided by Shower4ever.com. However, you must be registered on our site to shop online. If you choose to register: • We require your first and last names to help us differentiate your registration profile from others at Shower4ever.com. They also allow us to automatically populate shipping information forms should you decide to order from Shower4ever.com. We require a mailing address in order to make the checkout process faster. Your address will also be added to our customer information database to allow Shower4ever.com to research and offer products and services specifically designed for you and customers like you. • We require a phone number in case there is a problem with your order. We will not telemarket to you. However, you may be called and asked to participate in an optional Shower4ever.com telephone survey designed to help us improve your shopping experience. • We require a zip code so that you can shop the Shower4ever.com Home Improvement Warehouse nearest you. We can also deliver content appropriate to your region. For example, if you live in Southern California, we wouldn't want to feature on your home page a how-to on preparing for severe winter storms. • We require an e-mail address because, unlike your first and last name, it identifies you uniquely. We will send you an e-mail confirming your registration on our site, and in the event you forget your password, we will send it to your e-mail address at your request. Periodically, we will send promotional e-mails describing new features or products. You may unsubscribe to these e-mails at any time using the unsubscribe link at the base of any Shower4ever.com e-mail. • We require a unique log in ID and password combination that allows you secure access to your user profile and preferences. If you forget your password, at your request we can e-mail it to the e-mail address you chose in your profile. We have legally binding agreements with these service providers that prohibit them from using your information for any purpose other than what Shower4ever.com instructs them to do with it. If you ever need to view, change, update or delete any of your registration information, log in and click My Account at the top of the screen. You will be taken to a page where you can access your information so that you can edit it. 4. Online Ordering Information If you choose to purchase products from our site, you will need to provide the following information so that we can fulfill your order: • First and Last Name • Contact Phone Number(s) • Shipping Address • E-mail Address • Credit Card Account Information We use this information for the purpose of fulfilling your order. Your order information will also be used to track and analyze shopping trends. This analysis allows Shower4ever.com to provide the highest quality products and services possible. We do NOT sell to any third party under any circumstances any of the personal information you provide to complete your order. We request a contact phone number in case one of our customer service representatives would need to reach you, such as in order to arrange a delivery time. We request your e-mail address because we send a single e-mail message acknowledging receipt of your order. This message contains the list of items you purchased, a reference number, delivery method and the total amount of items requested, but it does NOT contain your credit card number. Use of Cookie Technology In order to register on or order products from our site, your browser must be set to accept cookies. A cookie is just an entry in a text file or folder on your hard drive.

Security Information We understand that many consumers are concerned about security on the Internet. The Web server here at Shower4ever.com is designed for Internet commerce, and employs industry standard methods of protecting the security of information sent over the site. This statement describes the technologies we use and provides additional information about how we handle your credit card information. We want you to be able to shop at the Shower4ever.com site with confidence. Of course, if you would rather order products by telephone, you can call us at (888) 530-2373. Is the Information I Send You Secure While It Is Being Sent? We strive to protect the security of the information you send to us while it is en route to our site. Every page of the Shower4ever.com site on which information is exchanged between you and Shower4ever.com employs Secure Sockets Layer technology. Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a secure and encrypted method of communicating between your browser software and our Web server. SSL is the most common method of secure communication used on the Internet, and SSL technology is built into most major browsers. When you provide information or place an order with us, the information is sent to us via this secure, encrypted SSL connection. A quick method of identifying a secure Web page is to look at the address of the page. Secure pages will usually appear with an address that starts with "https://" rather than the standard "http://". Shower4ever.com Companies provides links to Web sites outside of Shower4ever.com as an added convenience to the user. Any link included does not imply or convey endorsement of the other company or organization, its site or its products or services. Shower4ever.com Company is not responsible for the privacy, terms of use or other policies of any other Web site. Is the Information I Am Sending Really Going to Shower4ever.com? We have also obtained a GeoTrust™ digital security certificate for Shower4ever.com. GeoTrust™ is an independent third party that authenticates the identity of others on the Internet. By registering with GeoTrust™, we provide you a method of independently authenticating that the information you are sending is going to Shower4ever.com. What Happens to My Information After You Receive It? SSL protects information en route to us and the GeoTrust™ certificate confirms that we are the recipient of this information. How the information is handled after it arrives is every bit as important to maintaining security. Once you are finished shopping and you have typed in your shipping information, e-mail address and credit card information, and you have clicked "Submit Order," your encrypted information is sent to our server. All data collected is stored on site at and may be accessed by Shower4ever.com, Co., its wholly owned subsidiaries and contracted third party service providers. Security Questions or Comments We are committed to providing a secure, friendly site where customers can shop without undue concern over security. When we receive your information, we use commercially reasonable efforts, including the measures described above, to protect the security of your information on our systems. However, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Therefore, we do not warrant or ensure the security of any information sent to us online.
