Information Collection and Use

Two types of information may be collected when you visit any of our Web sites: information that you knowingly provide to us that personally identifies you (called personal information), and information that is obtained from your visit but is not directly associated with you (called non-personal information).

When you sign up to use one or more of our services, ask a question or purchase merchandise, we may specifically ask for information about you, including, but not limited to name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, birth date and/or payment information. This information is used to fulfill the services you requested or to improve our Web site offerings to you and users like you.

In the normal course of using the FRANCISCO® Web site, we may collect information about your habits and usage of our sites. This non-personal information is collected without any direct association with you specifically.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Agents, employees and contractors of our company, who have access to personal information, are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the high standards of the company.

Information about you specifically will not be used for any purpose other than to carry out the services you requested from the company and its affiliates.

We will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone at any time without your prior permission. We will not use any personal information beyond what is necessary to assist us in delivering to you the services you have requested.

We will send personal information about you to other organizations or people only when:
We have your consent to share such information;
We need to share your information in order to provide the product or service you have requested; or
We are required to share such information by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena.

We routinely use the non-personal information that we collect to improve the design and content of our sites and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information to analyze site usage, as well as to offer products, programs or services to you or other users like you.

Uses of E-mail Addresses

Our Company may periodically send promotional e-mail.
You will not receive such e-mail messages unless at the time you provided us with your e-mail address you indicated that you wished to receive such promotional e-mail. If you are asked for your e-mail address and are not given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving additional information, then the e-mail address is to be used for the specific service you requested only and will be deleted when you request the service be discontinued.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors

Sometimes the FRANCISCO® Web site may contain links to various other sites not owned and operated by the company. While we encourage other site developers to adopt privacy policies that build users' trust and confidence, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of Web sites either linked to our sites or to which we link. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy policies, as we have no control over the information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your computer's hard drive by our servers to identify your computer. Cookies, we may place, are only read by the server that placed them there and are unable to execute any code or virus. We may use cookies to recognize you when you visit our sites, to personalize your experience and generally to serve you better. For example, if you enter your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, ZIP code or other personal information on one of our forms, such information may be, but is not necessarily always, stored in a cookie, so you do not have to enter this information again.

IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer whenever you're using the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

Our company collects IP addresses in our Web site logs for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information and to audit the use of our site. When visitors request pages from the FRANCISCO® site, our servers log the visitor's IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us.

Our Committment to Security

We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect via the Internet.

The company may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post changes to our policy here, so be sure to check back periodically. Your continued use of the FRANCISCO® Web site following the posting of any changes to this policy shall mean that you have accepted those changes.
