PRIVACY
POLICY
This Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding
the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
As we update and expand our services, this policy may change,
so please refer back to it periodically. By accessing our
Web site or using our services, you consent to our information
practices.
Collection and Use of Information
Personal information means information that can be used to
identify and contact you, specifically your name, postal delivery
address, e-mail address, payment method (e.g., credit card
or debit card) and telephone number, as well as other information
when such information is combined with your personal information.
When you purchase, register or re-register at
our Web site, we ask you to supply us with personal information
so that we can provide, enhance and personalize our services
and marketing efforts. For similar reasons, we may supplement
the personal information you provide with publicly available
information about you. We use this personal information to
process your registration, your orders and your payments,
and to communicate with you on these and other topics. We
also use your e-mail address to send you newsletters, as well
as messages about Cartess Marketing Group special offers,
promotional announcements and consumer surveys. Occasionally,
we may send these materials to you via postal mail, using
the shipping address provided. Our mailers that contain the
products you ordered may also contain promotional items or
advertisements. If you no longer want to receive the newsletters,
other announcements, simply access the Email Subscriptions
link at the bottom of the email you receive from us and click
the link to unsubscribe. Please note that you cannot unsubscribe
from certain correspondence from us, including messages relating
to your account transactions.
Links to Other Sites
The Cartess Marketing Group Web site contains links to sites
operated by third parties whose policies regarding the handling
of personal information may differ from ours. While we endeavor
to associate with reputable sites, Cartess Marketing Group
cannot be responsible for the information handling practices
of these other sites.
Children
You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase from the
Cartess Marketing Group Web site. While individuals under
the age of 18 may utilize the site, they may do so only with
the involvement of a parent or legal guardian and subject
to our Terms of Use.
Cookies and Other Technology
As you browse the Cartess Marketing Group site, cookies are
placed on your computer's hard drive. (Cookies are small pieces
of data that are sent to your browser from a Web server and
stored on your hard drive for record keeping purposes.) In
general, cookies can make the Web more useful by storing information
about your preferences on a particular site. Cookies in and
of themselves do not personally identify users, although they
do identify a user's computer. If your browser is set to not
accept cookies, you may not be able to use the Cartess Marketing
Group site or service.
In addition to cookies, we use other technologies,
including pixel tags, to gather information on how our users
interact with our site and to otherwise help us efficiently
operate and monitor our site and service. These technologies,
show us, for example, popular pages, conversion rates, click-throughs
and other information that can be used to improve, operate
and monitor our site and our service. Third parties, including
consultants we engage and online advertisers, may also use
this technology to perform similar services for us as well
as to assess their own advertising or services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Except as otherwise disclosed to you, we will not sell, rent
or disclose your personal information to third parties without
notifying you of our intent to share the personal information
in advance and giving you an opportunity to prevent your personal
information from being shared.
We use other companies, agents or contractors
to perform services on our behalf. For example, we have partnered
with other companies to personalize and optimize our Web pages,
process credit card transactions, analyze and enhance data,
including customers' interaction with our site, and process
consumer surveys. We also provide postal addresses to the
U.S. Post Office for delivery purposes. In the course of providing
such services, these other companies may have access to your
personal information. These companies are not permitted to
use your personal information except for the purpose of providing
the services we request of them.
From time to time, we may partner with companies
whose products we believe will interest our users. In conjunction
with these partners, we may send promotional announcements
and/or serve web-based advertisements to our customers on
their behalf.
Cartess Marketing Group also reserves the right
to disclose personal information when we reasonably believe
disclosure is required by law, if we reasonably believe disclosure
is necessary to establish or exercise legal rights, or in
situations involving potential threats to physical safety.
In the event that Cartess Marketing Group is acquired by or
merged with a third party, we reserve the right, to sell or
otherwise transfer the personal information we have collected
as part of that transaction provided that such third party
continues to honor our privacy policy.
Security
Cartess Marketing Group takes information security very seriously
and uses reasonable administrative, technical and managerial
measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized
access. For example, we utilize Secure Sockets Layering, an
industry-standard protocol for certain of your transmissions
to us, in order to encrypt the personal information that you
send to us through the registration and sign up process. We
store your email address and payment method information in
an encrypted form.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of your account information and for restricting access to
your computer or mobile device through which you access your
Cartess Marketing Group account. Users of public or shared
computers or unprotected mobile devices should log out at
the completion of each visit to the Cartess Marketing Group
Web site.
Unfortunately, no security system can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security
of your personal information and cannot assume liability for
improper access to it. By using this Web site, or providing
personal information to us through any means, you agree that
we can communicate with you electronically regarding security,
privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of
this site.
Changes to This Policy
As we update and expand our services, we may make changes
to this policy. You should check back for updates to this
policy from time to time. If the changes result in materially
less protection for your personal information than that provided
in this policy, we will make reasonable efforts to contact
you and obtain your consent to the changes. Like our Terms
of Use, of which this policy is a part, your use of the Cartess
Marketing Group Web site or continued use of our service after
our efforts to contact you means that you agree to be bound
by such changes.

Customer Service. If you have questions concerning this privacy
policy, please contact info@cartessmarketing.com. Our address
