Personal Data
Shaner will not collect any personally-identifiable information about you (e.g., your name, address, telephone number, or email address (“personal data”)) through our websites unless you have provided it to us voluntarily. If you do not want your personal data collected, please do not submit it to us.
When you do provide us with personal data, we may use that information in the following ways, unless stated otherwise: we may store and process that information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services; we (or a fulfillment house or other third party on our behalf in connection with a promotion) may use that information to contact you; and/or we may provide other third parties with aggregate – but not individual – information about visitors to or users of our sites. We do not now and do not currently intend to sell, rent, or market personal data about you to third parties.
Additional Information Collected Automatically
Shaner also reviews data and information contained in log files located on our web server, which record the date and time of each visit to the site, the user’s IP (internet protocol) address, the referring IP address or domain (the prior web site visited), and the files viewed on the site (including HTML pages, graphics, etc.). We use the log file information to analyze data in the aggregate to determine the trends and usage of the site. We cannot correlate the log data to identify specific users.
Information Placed Automatically on Your Computer (i.e., “Cookies”)
When you visit the site, we may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser directory of your computer’s hard drive. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your web browser and later retrieve. A cookie enables the site to recognize you as a prior user, provides the site with information regarding your prior use, and assists Shaner in determining what portions of the site are most appropriate for you. Your web browser may provide you with the ability to not accept cookies. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. However, in order to take full advantage of the site, we recommend that you accept cookies from the site. We do not use cookies to examine other websites you may have visited before or after leaving the site.
