Web
Site Use Information
Similar
to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What
Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through
cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time
of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and
the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.
This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None
of this information is associated with you as an individual.
How
Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making
available other products and services to our customers and
prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web
site, new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers
are developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of
our customers' personal information. As a customer, you will
be given the opportunity, at least once annually, to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What
Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software
that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to
access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are
stored by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies
can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page
to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by
the same user or to use the information to streamline the
user's transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier
for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete
commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should
make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How
Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We
use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web
server logs to gather information about our Web site users'
browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our customers. This information assists
us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly
manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies
help us collect important business and technical statistics.
The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed
by users to our Web site as they move from one page to another.
Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our
Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor capacity. We
do not use these technologies to capture your individual email
address or any personally identifying information about you
although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing
Information with Affiliates

time to time you may notice offers from outside companies
advertised on our Web site. We take measures to select product
or service providers that are responsible and afford privacy

we will retain all ownership rights to the information, and

How
Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When
you send confidential personal credit card information to
us on our Web site, a secure server software which we have
licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent
to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once
it reaches our Web site.
Other
email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures will be in place prior to
your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask
that you do not send confidential information such as Social
Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How
Do We Protect Your Information?
Information
Security . We utilize encryption/security software
to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we
collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental
loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation
of Information Protection Practices. Periodically,
our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance
with corporate policies and procedures governing the security,
confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee
Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate
values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed
to the protection of customer information. In general, our
business practices limit employee access to confidential information,
and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How
Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You
may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
info@platinumpurchase.com
Do
We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We
may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales,
Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information
to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information
will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise
provided in this Privacy Policy.
What
About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to do so,
in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
What
About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We
are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful
to the users of our Web site.
Please
remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site
to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.
Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including
Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to
that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those
rules and policies before proceeding.
Your
Consent

your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will
