Protecting your privacy is a top priority to us. Here's how we collect, use and protect any personal, business or data information you provide to us via our web site, email, telephone, fax or mail.

What We Collect.
While visiting our standard web site (noted in your browser address as pages ending in .html) information is stored in a log file for the purpose of analyzing what pages are accessed, which files are downloaded, and what errors occur. We reveiw which top domain addresses visit our site. This process does not collect any personal information about you or your business.

When you complete any form on our site, your information is written to a secure file.

When using the Miva Merchant Message Boards your registration information is stored securely, and your password is encrypted. We do not, nor do we know how, to "crack" these passwords. The only way to get a password when forgotten is to be issued a new temporary password created by the system, not us.

When you shop our online store, a SESSION ID tracks movements and your IP address is stored for authentication and verification reasons only. This is standard in all shopping cart programs. Your credit card information is stored securely via VeriSign SSL, in a different location than your contact information, and is removed from the server when transactions are complete. Any other information, such as FTP and login info provided in order for us to perform installs and customizations, is stored securely in yet another location, and is removed from our servers when the transaction is complete.

Our online store uses cookies to identify you and your movement through our store. A cookie is a small file stored on your computer, which expires by a certain date. Our cookies do not track your movement throughout the Internet and do not, ever, send us information about you when you are not on our site.

What We Do With It.
After you shop with us, your name, address, telephone number and email, along with your order are kept on file for two reasons: 1. To reference should you have questions regarding your order; 2. To notify you of any special updates or security issues about your purchase. This information is never sold, traded or distributed to others.

When you register for updates about our site, we store your name and email address in a secure area. This information is used only to send you updates about our site... We do not distribute this information to anyone else.

The information you provide at our message boards is used solely for your use of those boards. We do not distribute this information to anyone else.

What You Can Do.
You have the option to opt-out of any notification altogether, and be removed from most all of our database systems. Though we cannot remove your ordering information, you may request to be removed from product update notifications.
