This Xyron website (including www.xyron.com, www.xyronpro.com and
www.wishbladedesigns.com, together the “Website”) has been designed with
your privacy, security and convenience in mind. We will not rent or sell
your name or personal information to any third party. This policy only
applies to information collected through the Website.
Our Website may include an ordering system, enabling you to purchase
products from one of our subsidiaries, dealers, or other third parties.
In the case of dealers or other third parties, we will only provide them
with your name, address and other non-financial information to help them
to serve you. Our sites have the ability to store information to save
you from having to re-enter it on a subsequent visit to that site.
If you have set up an account with us or entered personal information
including your e-mail address, we may occasionally update you via e-mail
with newsletters and messages of special opportunities. If you would
rather not be alerted to such opportunities, you have the ability to opt
out by editing your account details or unsubscribing upon receipt of the
e-mail.
Other sites to which this Website provides links are governed by
separate privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy
of such sites carefully before supplying them with any personal
information.
As stated in our
www.wishbladedesigns.com Terms of Use , this Privacy Policy does not
apply to Comments (as defined in the Terms of Use) or message board
postings.
What kinds of personal information does Xyron collect?
In general, you can visit Xyron's site on the Web without telling us who
you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. The more
information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we
are able to customize your experience. We ask for information from you
in several ways from different parts of our Website.
We ask for personal information from you when you become a registered
user of the Website. You are required to register and receive a logon
name to be able to access and use certain features of the Website. At
that time, Xyron asks for certain required information such as your
name, e-mail address, credit card number and expiration date, and other
information to process your registration. We also request certain other
optional information that will enable us to provide you with a more
personalized experience when using the Website. We will let you know
what information is optional, and you decide whether or not you want to
provide that information or to receive newsletters or third party
correspondence. As you use the Website, you may be required to enter
personal information in order to receive specific benefits. For example,
we ask for information from you when you register for a course, purchase
products or services through our catalog or affiliate relationships, or
when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by Xyron or its many
partners. This enables us to administer the contest and notify winner.
In the course of using the Website, we automatically track certain
information about you. This information may include the URL that you
just came from and the next URL you go to, regardless of whether these
URLs are on our Website or not. It also includes your IP address. Xyron
uses this information to identify broad demographic trends that may be
used to provide information tailored to your interests.
•If you choose to buy products or services on the Website or through
affiliate relationships, we collect information about your buying
behavior. If a third party provides those products or services, then we
will send the third party information about you that is needed to
process the order. We do not control how the third party uses that
information, and this policy does not cover the privacy practices of
those businesses.
•We monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us refine
and improve the design and layout of the Website and the user experience.
•If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters we
may keep a record of that correspondence. We also periodically ask users
for feedback that we use to improve our service and products and add new
features. If you respond to these requests, we may keep a record of your
response.
•We collect IP addresses for system administration.
How does Xyron use my information?
We collect personal information to give you a customized experience and
to help Xyron understand its customers better. Xyron does not sell,
trade, or rent your personal information to others.
•The personal information you choose to give us allows Xyron to process
and fulfill your orders and to notify you of your order status.
•We use the personal information you give us to provide you with
up-to-date information about Xyron's products and services.
•We may use the information we collect to notify you from time to time
about important functionality changes to the Website, new Supplier
services and products, and special offers we think you will find
valuable.
•When you provide us with personal information to enter a contest or
promotion sponsored by Xyron or its partners, we use this information to
administer the contest and notify winners. We store all information
relating to such contests and promotions.
•In order for Xyron to provide free services on our Website, we may
include third party advertisements on our Website.
•We will deliver targeted advertisements to our customers using the
personal information you give us. Third parties provide us with
advertisements and identify an audience they want to reach. We display
these advertisements on our Website to people who fit the criteria. We
do not allow advertisers to have access to individual account
information. These advertisements are usually banner ads and promotional
e-mails. You will only receive e-mail announcements of special offers if
you have asked to receive newsletters and/or third party information
when registering on our Website. You can change your preferences at any
time.
•We also research our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based
on the information you give us. We compile and analyze this information
in aggregate on an anonymous basis.
•We may use the IP addresses we collect to report aggregate, anonymous
information to our advertisers.
Who collects information?
When you supply personal information on the Website, you share that
information only with Xyron and its agents appointed to host or manage
the site on Xyron's behalf. Such agents will comply with this privacy
policy and may use your personal information in the same manner it is
used by Xyron. When companies other than Xyron sponsor promotions,
aggregated data collected on the Website in connection with these
promotions may be shared with the sponsor, but your personal details
will not be shared without your explicit permission.
If you leave our Website using links to go to other third party sites,
those third parties may gather information about you. This privacy
policy does not cover the practices of those businesses.
Does Xyron share my information?
Other than as stated in this policy, Xyron does not disclose any of your
personal information to third parties without your permission. Read the
following sections to learn more.
Xyron shopping
When you buy services or products offered through Xyron, the provider of
the product or service receives only the information required for the
transaction to take place, unless the product or service provider
collects additional information. You may be required to give these
providers certain additional information to purchase some products or
services. These providers have separate privacy and data collection
practices. Xyron has no responsibility or liability for their policies.
The service provider's home page usually provides a link to its privacy
policy.
Third-party data and aggregate data
Xyron discloses aggregate, anonymous statistics (for example, the
percentage of users from the western U.S.) to prospective partners and
advertisers and for other lawful purposes.
Other situations
Xyron also may disclose your information where disclosure is necessary
to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with our rights or property rights,
the users' rights, or others' rights. In the same way, Xyron will
disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required
by law or to comply with a legal process served on Xyron or its Website.
We may disclose your personal information in the good faith belief that
we just act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of Xyron and its Website.
Do I have a choice about how my information is gathered, used and distributed?
Yes. When you log in or register at the Website, you can choose to
receive newsletters, information, and e-mails. If you change your mind,
you can simply update your account information on our Web site or choose
to unsubscribe from the service upon receipt of the e-mail so that the
information will not be sent in the future. It's your choice.
Some of our promotions may request your e-mail address so that you can
receive periodic updates about the status of the promotion. When you
participate in these types of promotions, you will automatically receive
promotion-related e-mail; however, you can choose the no-e-mail option
that some promotions offer. Occasionally these promotion-related e-mail
messages may include targeted advertising.
What security precautions does Xyron take to protect me?
Your account information and profile are password-protected. You can
edit your account information and profile by using your logon name and
password. We recommend that you follow these guidelines to protect
yourself:
•Do not tell anyone your password. If your password has been compromised
for any reason, you should immediately change your password.
•Do not respond to unsolicited e-mail by giving your password, even if
the e-mail claims to be from us. Xyron will never ask you for your
password in this way.
•Sign out of your account and close your browser window when you are
done using the Website.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. Although we are committed to protecting your personal
information, Xyron cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you send to us or from our online services, and you do so at
your own risk.
How does Xyron protect my credit card and financial information?
We are committed to protecting the privacy of your credit card and
financial account information. We do not sell, trade, or rent your
financial or credit card information. This includes any information you
keep in your personal account on our Website. We do not make this
information available to anyone without your permission. We may provide
statistical data on our customers to advertisers, partners, vendors, and
other reputable third parties, which is comprised of aggregate,
anonymous data only, which does not contain any personally identifiable
information. For example, we will not disclose that you purchased a
specific product, but we might disclose statistics on how many customers
have purchased a specific product.
When you enter credit card information on our Website, we transmit the
information in encrypted format, using industry standard, secure socket
layer (SSL).
E-mail correspondence to Xyron
Because an e-mail address is personal identifying information, we
protect the privacy of the sender by limiting access to these e-mail
messages and keeping them in a secure e-mail system. Most e-mail
messages are deleted after they are responded to, however in certain
cases hard copies or data from certain e-mail correspondence may be kept
on file. Any such copies will also be stored in a secure location. In
the event that Xyron becomes legally obligated to disclose information
obtained from consumers on its web site pursuant to legal or
administrative process, Xyron will take all reasonable steps to remove
personal information from the data where possible.
What are cookies and how does Xyron use them?
Our Website may use cookies to keep track of the fact that you have
signed in so you don't have to continually enter your username and
password on subsequent visits. Also, we use cookies to deliver content
specific to your interests and for other purposes. (Cookies are small
files downloaded to your computer to track movements within web sites.)
Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You can make
decisions about cookies. You can modify your browser preferences to
accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all
cookies. If you decide to reject all cookies, you cannot participate in
services available at the Website that require registration to
participate. There are many sources for additional information about
Internet cookies, and we encourage anyone concerned about the use of
cookies to do more research on the topic so you can make an informed
decision about accepting them from any site.
This policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers on our
Website.
Web beacons
In addition to cookies, Xyron may use a common Internet technology
called "Web beacons" (i.e. "Web bugs," "action tags, "pixel trackers,"
or "clear GIFs") on its Website. Web beacons are small graphic images
placed on a Web page, Web-based document, or in an e-mail message that
are designed to allow Xyron or a third party to collect certain
information and monitor user activity on our sites. Web beacons are
invisible to the user because they are typically very small (an image
only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page,
document or e-mail message.
Xyron may use Web beacons at the Website to collect information such as
the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL
of the page the Web user comes from, and the time the Web beacon is
activated (such as when you view the Web page, advertisement, or e-mail
that contains the Web beacon). We may also use Web beacons to display
e-mails in the appropriate HTML or text format. From time to time, we
may permit third parties to place Web beacons on our sites or in e-mails
sent on our behalf for purposes of collecting the same types of
information specified above.
What about the privacy of children?
This Website is a general audience website and is not directed
specifically to children. The Website’s registration process requires
entry of a prospective registrant’s age and does not allow those
indicating their age as under 13 to register. Should Xyron become aware
of the fact that it has collected information from an individual under
the age of 13, it will immediately delete that information. We urge
parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names,
addresses or phone numbers, without permission, when using the Internet.
Changes to your Account or Personal Information
If you detect any inaccuracy in your account or personal information, we
will be happy to make any changes you deem appropriate.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Since offerings and technologies change, we reserve the right, at our
discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of our policy at
any time. Please check back here for changes.
