Handmark, Inc. knows that you care
how information about you is used. This notice describes
our privacy policy. By visiting handmark.com
or fourostudent.net, you are accepting the practices
described in this Privacy Notice.
What personal information about
customers does Handmark, Inc. gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us
personalize and improve your online experience at
handmark.com. Here are the types of information
we gather:
- Information You Give Us - We receive
and store any information you enter on our Web
site or give us in any other way. You can choose
not to provide certain information, but then
you might not be able to take advantage of many
of our features. We use the information that
you provide for such purposes as responding
to your requests, improving our shopping and
other online experiences, and communicating
with you.
- Automatic Information - We receive
and store certain types of information whenever
you interact with us. For example, like many
Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain
types of information when your Web browser accesses
handmark.com.
- Information From Other Sources - For
reasons such as improving personalization of
our service (for example, providing better product
recommendations or special offers that we think
will interest you), we might receive information
about you from other sources and add it to our
account information. We also sometimes receive
updated delivery and address information from
our shippers or other sources so that we can
correct our records and deliver your next purchase
or communication more easily.
What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that
we transfer to your computer's hard drive through
your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize
your browser and to provide storage of items
in your Shopping Cart between visits.
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on most
browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser
from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie,
or how to disable cookies altogether. However,
cookies allow you to take full advantage of
some of Handmark's coolest features, and we
recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does Handmark, Inc. Share the Information
It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important
part of our business, and we are not in the business
of selling it to others. We share customer information
only as described below.
- Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control
- Occasionally we may make offers that are fulfilled
through a business other than Handmark, Inc.
You can tell when another business is involved
in your transactions, and we share customer
information related to those transactions with
that business.
- Agents - We employ other companies
and individuals to perform functions on our
behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders,
delivering packages, sending postal mail and
email, removing repetitive information from
customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments,
and providing customer service. They have access
to personal information needed to perform their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Promotional Offers - Sometimes we send
offers to selected groups of Handmark, Inc.
customers on behalf of other businesses. When
we do this, we do not give that business your
name and address.
- Business Transfers - As we continue
to develop our business, we might sell or buy
products, services or other assets. In such
transactions, customer information generally
is one of the transferred business assets. Also,
in the event that Handmark, Inc., or substantially
all of its assets are acquired, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Protection of Handmark, Inc. and Others
- We release account and other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply
with law; enforce or apply our and other agreements;
or protect the rights, property, or safety of
Handmark, Inc., our users, or others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction.
- With Your Consent - Other than as set
out above, you will receive notice when information
about you might go to third parties, and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share
the information.
How Secure Is Information About
Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information
during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information
you input.
- We reveal only the last five digits of your
credit card numbers when confirming an order.
Of course, we transmit the entire credit card
number to the appropriate credit card company
during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against
unauthorized access to your computer. Be sure
to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
Children
handmark.com does not sell products for purchase
by children. We may sell children's products for
purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may
use handmark.com only with involvement of a parent
or guardian.
