At Blastwave FX, we understand your
privacy is important to you, that's why Blastwave FX is the sole owner
of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or
rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed
in this statement.
Information Collection and Use
Blastwave FX collects information from our
users at several different points on our website. By visiting
Blastwave FX, you are accepting the practices
described in this Privacy Notice.
Registration
In order to make a purchase on this
website, a user must first complete a basic registration form that
requires a user to give their first name, last name, country and email
address. This information is used to contact the user regarding
confirmation of their purchase. We also provide users with the option to
sign-up for our newsletter so we can provide them with relevant site
information and a more personalized experience.
Order
We request information from the user on
our order form. Here a user must provide financial information including
first and last name on the credit card they are using, the credit card
type, the credit card number, the credit card expiration date, and the
billing address of the card holder. We also request an alternate
shipping address if it is not the same as the credit card billing
address. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill
customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user.
Shipping and Order Processing
We use an outside company to ship orders,
and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with other parties to provide
specific services related to the fulfillment of orders from our users.
When necessary, we will share names, or other contact information that
is required for the third party to provide these services. These parties
are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other
sites. Please be aware that we at Blastwave FX are not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our
newsletter, we ask for their email address as contact information.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the
friend's name and email address. Blastwave FX will automatically send
the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Blastwave
FX stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
email. The friend may contact Blastwave FX at
www.blastwavefx.com to request the
removal of this information from our database.
Security
This website takes every precaution
to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online
and off-line.
When our order form asks users to
enter sensitive information such as credit card number, that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when you are just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow this
link
www.ssl.com.
While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to
info@blastwavefx.com.
Special Offers
Our users will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out
of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not
receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and
service announcement updates. Members are able to un-subscribe from
service announcements, which contain important information about the
service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and
in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable
information changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's
personal data provided to us.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive
our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of
receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject
line in the email or email us at
unsubscribe@blastwavefx.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
