Protecting your privacy is important to Playa Companion. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware of and understand the Playa Companion's Customer Privacy Policy, we can provide you with better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to learn how we handle your personal information.
Why we collect personal information: Playa Companion collects and uses your personal information to give you superior customer service, to provide you with convenient access to our products and services, and to make a wider range available to you. In addition, we use your personal information to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers, and other information we think you’d like to hear about. This may occasionally include information from other technology companies about products and services that can add value to your Playa Companion products. From time to time, we may also use your personal information to contact you to participate in a market research survey, so that we can gauge customer satisfaction and develop better products.
How we
collect personal information: We collect
information about you in several ways. For
example, we might ask for your contact
information when you correspond with us to make
a purchase or request service, register to
attend a seminar, or participate in an online
survey. In addition, when you register a new
Playa Companion product, or ask to be
included in an email mailing list, we collect
and store the information you provide in a
secure database.
To save you time and make our web services even
easier to use, some areas of the Playa Companion website allow you to create an "Playa
Companion ID" using your personal
information. Here's how it works: Simply fill
out a brief profile—your name and email
address—then choose a password for security. The
system saves your information and assigns you a
personal Playa Companion ID. Next time you
visit Playa Companion, you can simply enter
your Playa Companion ID and password—the
system will automatically look up the
information it needs.
When we disclose personal information: Because
Playa Companion is an internet company, your
personal information may be shared with other
Playa Companion business units. They will
protect your personal information in accordance
with the Playa Companion Customer Privacy
Policy. Playa Companion may occasionally
share your personal contact information with
carefully selected technology companies, to keep
you informed about related products and
services. For example, when new Cell Phones are
released, we may send you information to ensure
that you're aware of the latest updates to our
library
Playa Companion works with other companies
that help us provide Playa Companion products
and services to you, and we may provide your personal
information to these companies. For example, we give shipping
companies this information so they can deliver your products
efficiently. The information they receive is for shipping and
delivery purposes only, and we require that the companies
safeguard your personal information in accordance with Playa
Companion's policies.
At times we may be required by law or legal
process to disclose your personal information.
We may also disclose information about you if we
believe that disclosure is necessary for the
public interest.
How we protect your personal information: Playa
Companion safeguards the security of the data
you send us with physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures. We urge you to take every
precaution to protect your personal data when
you are on the Internet. Change your passwords
often, use a combination of letters and numbers,
and make sure you use a secure browser.
The Playa Companion Store uses
industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption on all web pages where personal
information is required. To make purchases from
the Playa Companion Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator
3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. This
protects the confidentiality of your personal
and credit card information while it is
transmitted over the Internet.
Collecting other personal information: When you
browse Playa Companion’s website as a
non-member, you are able to do so anonymously.
Generally, we don’t collect personal information
when you browse — not even your email address.
Your browser, however, does automatically tell
us the type of computer and operating system you
are using.
Like many websites, the Playa Companion
website uses “cookie” technology. When you first
connect to our site, the cookie identifies your
browser with a unique, random number. The
cookies we use do not reveal any personal
information about you, except perhaps your first
name so we can welcome you on your next visit.
Cookies help us understand which parts of our
websites are the most popular, where our
visitors are going, and how long they spend
there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns
on our site so we can make the site even better.
In some of our emails to you, we may use a
“click-through URL.” When you click one of these
URLs, you pass through our web server before
arriving at the website that is your
destination. We track click-throughs to help us
determine your interest in particular topics and
measure the effectiveness of our customer
communications.
Our companywide commitment to privacy: To make
sure your personal information remains
confidential, we communicate these privacy
guidelines to every Playa Companion employee.
In addition, Playa Companion participates in
industry initiatives—such as the Online Privacy
Alliance and Trustee to preserve privacy rights
on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic
commerce.
Playa Companion does not knowingly solicit
personal information from children or send them
requests for personal information.
Playa Companion's website contains links to
other sites. Playa Companion does not share
your personal information with those websites
and is not responsible for their privacy
practices. We encourage you to learn about the
privacy policies of those companies.
If we are going to use your personal information
differently from that stated at the time of
collection, we will try to contact you via email
using the most recent information we have. If
you have not given us permission to communicate
with you, you will not be contacted, nor will we
use your personal information in a new manner.
The Playa Companion Customer Privacy Policy
is subject to change at any time. We encourage
you to review the privacy policy regularly for
any changes.
