At The Uniform Shop, we are committed to protecting your privacy.
You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information
about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide
services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains
data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete
The Uniform Shop Statement of Privacy.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information
that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows
us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when
you are contacting us or setting up an account through our product
catalog. Personal information collected by The Uniform Shop often
is limited to basic contact information but may include other information
when needed to provide a service you requested.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for
the following purposes:
|
•
|
To make the site easier
for you to use by not making you enter your personal information
more than once. |
|
•
|
To deliver services that you request
or purchase. |
|
•
|
To help us create and publish content
most relevant to you. |
|
•
|
To alert you to site updates, special
offers, updated information and
other new services from The Uniform Shop. |
We occasionally hire other companies
to provide limited services on our behalf, including answering customer
questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing
registration forms. We will only provide those companies the information
they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using
that information for any other purpose.
The Uniform Shop may disclose your personal
information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process served on The Uniform Shop or the
site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of The Uniform
Shop and its family of Web sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances
to protect the personal safety of users of The Uniform Shop, its
Web sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give
us personal information, The Uniform Shop will not share that information
with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited
exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes
stated above.
Registering also allows you to tell us how or whether you want The
Uniform Shop to communicate with you. At the time of your registration
you set your preferences to be contacted, or you can always tell
us not to contact you.
The Uniform Shop may send out periodic
e-mails informing you of technical service issues related to a product
or service you requested. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe
to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the
service you have chosen.
Access to your Personal Information
If you would like to review or revise
information you previously provided on an online form, or believe
that what we currently have on record is incorrect, you may update
your information in the Account section of this website. There you
will be able to:
|
•
|
View and edit personal
information you have already given us at The Uniform Shop. |
|
•
|
Tell us whether you want The Uniform
Shop to send you email. |
|
•
|
Set preferences for using features
on The Uniform Shop. |
Security of your Personal Information
The Uniform Shop strictly protects the
security of your personal information and honors your choices for
its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared
outside the company without your permission, except under conditions
explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information.
No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing
your password, so do not share this with others.
Use of Cookies
The Uniform Shop uses "cookies"
to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text
file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is
to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example,
if you register with The Uniform Shop sites or services, a cookie
helps The Uniform Shop to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information,
such as addresses, email, and so on. When you return to The Uniform
Shop, the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the The Uniform Shop features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you
can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you
prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to
fully experience the interactive features of the The Uniform Shop
services or Web sites you visit.
Changes to this Statement
The Uniform Shop will occasionally update
this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last
updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For material
changes to this Statement, The Uniform Shop will notify you by placing
prominent notice on the Web site.
