Like many Internet Web sites, we collect different types of information in connection with the rendering of our services and the administration of our Web site. We will not voluntarily disclose or sell any information we gather about you (“Personal Information”) to third parties for solicitation or other reasons unless you consent, and except as otherwise provided below:
We may from time to time approach you regarding product, service, and other information, or offers which we feel, based on your Personal Information, may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such information, you can contact us in the manner provided above. In addition, Personal Information may be released to third parties (I) if we are required by law to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order; (ii) if release of such information is required in connection with the maintenance and administration of this site; (iii) in the very rare circumstance in which we believe in good faith there is a threat to the rights, safety, physical security or property of you or others. Although Val-U-Co would like third parties whom we provide personal information to comply with our privacy policy, we cannot guarantee their compliance.
Registration is required in order to purchase a product from our retail catalog. Registration is also required in order to access our wholesale catalog. Persons wishing to purchase from our retail catalog (“Retail Users”) or access our wholesale catalog (“Wholesale Users”) (collectively, “Users”) are required to provide certain information when registering. Our Web site may require Retail Users to give us contact information (such as their name, address and e-mail address), unique identifiers (such as their date of birth), financial information (such as their account or credit card numbers), and user identification numbers and passwords. We use this information to process your orders, to keep you updated on your orders and to personalize your shopping experience. We utilize the services of Authorize.Net as an internet payment gateway. Our Web site may require Wholesale Users give us contact information (such as company name, contact name, telephone number, email address, and company address), as well as any information provided to Val-U-Co at its request (such as tax registration number), and user identification and password.
Val-U-Co may disclose general, non-personal information related to site statistics.
Val-U-Co is not responsible for any unauthorized access to or use of the information provided.
Our secure servers protect the Personal Information using 128-bit Encryption and firewall technology. Your Personal Information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Val-U-Co does not own or control, or to people that Val-U-Co does not employ or manage. Other sites accessible through our Web site have their own privacy policies and data collection practices. Please consult each site's privacy policy. Val-U-Co provides numerous 3rd party links in our search results. Val-U-Co may also participate in co-branding and other relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to its Users. However, we have no control over these linked sites, each of who have separate privacy and data collection practices independent of Val-U-Co. We have no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions, and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these Web sites.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of a Users Personal Information or communication will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate. Therefore, although we believe we use industry standard practices to protect Users’ privacy, we do not promise that their personally identifiable information or communications can remain private.
Users consent to the collection and use of their information as described herein.
