Thank you for visiting Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary. This notice
explains our online information collection and use practices and the choices
you can make about the way we use and share such information. Please take
the time to read and understand this policy so that you can understand
how we use your personal information. OUR ONLINE INFORMATION COLLECTION
AND USE PRACTICES MAY DIFFER FROM OUR PRACTICES REGARDING INFORMATION
OBTAINED OFFLINE.
REMEMBER IF YOU REGISTER WITH Shop
Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary, PARTICIPATE IN A SURVEY, PURCHASE SOMETHING
FROM US OR ENTER ANY OF OUR CONTESTS OR PROMOTIONS, YOU AGREE TO THESE
TERMS. AS WE UPDATE AND EXPAND OUR SERVICES, THIS POLICY MIGHT CHANGE,
SO CHECK IT OUT FROM TIME TO TIME.
The
Information We Collect.
At Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary you can do a variety of things!
You may be able to order products, enter contests, participate in surveys,
request a catalog...etc. The types of personally identifiable information
(i.e. information that can directly identify you or indicate where you
might be contacted) that may be collected at these pages could include:
name, address, age, date of birth, sex, e-mail address, telephone number,
fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests
in and use of various products, programs and services.
Sometimes you can submit information
about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and
e-mail address to refer a product or page to a friend and if you order
a gift online and want it sent directly to a friend, you might submit
the friend's name and address. The types of personally identifiable information
that may be collected about other people at these pages may include: recipient's
name, address, age, date of birth, company name, e-mail address, sex and
telephone number.
We also may collect certain non-personally
identifiable information (i.e. generic information that does not identify
you personally) when you visit any of our web pages such as the type of
browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of
operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows '98 or Mac OS) and the
domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online or
Earthlink).
How
We Use and Disclose the Information.
We will use the personal information you provide online for the purpose(s)
you have submitted. Examples of us using your personal information for
the purpose(s) submitted include, sending a catalog, if you have won a
contest, sending to you an email notification that you have won. In addition,
we may send to you an e-mail offering products or services which we think
you may be interested in or to ask you to participate in a survey. For
example, we may send to you an e-mail regarding special merchandise offers
and announcements about products or services offered by Shop Brodart and/or
YourHomeLibrary. We may also contact you offline. For example, when you
provide your mailing address, Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary may
send to you in the mail special offers, promotions and catalogs, which
we think may be of interest to you. If you want us to stop using the personal
information you provided in these ways, please contact us:
US: supplies.customerservice@brodart.com
CANADA: supplies.customerservice@brodart.ca
International: supplies.international@brodart.com
How
We Share Your Personal Information.
We will not share the personal information you provide except (a) if it
is for the purpose(s) you provided it; (b) with your consent; (c) as may
be required by law or as we think necessary to protect our company or
others from injury (e.g. in response to a court order or subpoena, in
response to a law enforcement agency request or when we believe that someone
is causing (or about to cause) injury to or interference with the rights
or property of another); (d) with other persons or companies with whom
we contract to carry out internal site operations or our business activities
(for example, sending out a product or a promotional item that you have
requested on the site); and/or (e) notifying you when we make changes
to one of our subscriber agreements or this policy.
Examples of us sharing your personal
information for the purposes submitted are if you request information
regarding financial aid, we may provide the information provided to a
third party lender so that they can send to you directly the information
you requested or if you enter a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by a
third party, we may forward your information to such third party.
We will seek to obtain your consent
at the place where the information is collected either by an "opt-in"
or "opt-out" method, or by other means (such as sending to you
an e-mail).
We do not consider any companies that
are within our "family" of companies to be "third parties"
for purposes of this policy. Thus, we may also share personal information
provided online with companies owned directly or indirectly by Alloy,
Inc. Any of these companies may use and further share this information
in the same ways we do. However, if we pass on personal information to
a family company, we require that it protect such information in a manner
that is consistent with this policy. If you want us to stop sharing your
personal information among Brodart owned companies, please contact us:
US: supplies.customerservice@brodart.com
CANADA: supplies.customerservice@brodart.ca
International: supplies.international@brodart.com
Additionally, with your consent, we
may share the personal information you provide online with companies not
affiliated with us (i.e. third party companies) who want to market products
or services to you or to ask you questions, both online and offline. If
you want us to stop sharing your personal information with these companies,
please contact us:
US: supplies.customerservice@brodart.com
CANADA: supplies.customerservice@brodart.ca
International: supplies.international@brodart.com
If you consent to receiving communications from non-affiliated companies,
you may need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that
you no longer wish to receive their communications or if you wish to change
any data you provided online. In this instance, any changes or amendments
to your personal information must be given directly to each company who
communicates with you as these changes, amendments and/or deletions will
not be exchanged between us and non-affiliated companies.
If we do share personal information
to a non-affiliated company, to the extent practical, we require that
they protect such information in a manner that is consistent with this
policy. We cannot, however, guarantee how these non-affiliated companies
will use your personal information.
Use
and Disclosure of Anonymous Information.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect
to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize
your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate
to analyze how our site is used, as well as to offer you products, programs
or services. Sometimes we share aggregate information with others, including
affiliated companies and non-affiliated companies.
Collection

Our site may contain links to other sites whose information practices
may be different than ours. You should check the other sites' privacy
notices since we have no control over information that is submitted to
or collected by them.
We may offer contests, sweepstakes,
or promotions that are sponsored by or co-sponsored with non-affiliated
companies. Based on our agreement with them, these third parties may obtain
personally identifiable information that site visitors voluntarily submit
to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. We have no control
over the use of this information by these companies.
Cookies.
To enhance your online experience with us, many of our web pages use "cookies."
Cookies are text files placed on your hard disk by our web server to store

you may need to re-register with us every time you visit our site in order
to participate in certain promotions and other stuff. You should also
know that companies that advertise on our web site (and their agents)
might use their own cookies. This policy does not cover how these companies
use their cookies.
Clickstream
Data.
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at
each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred
to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a web
site's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing
software you use and the address of the web site from which you linked
to Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary. We may use clickstream data as
a form of non-personally identifiable information to anonymously determine
how much time visitors spend on each page of Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary,
how visitors navigate throughout the site and how we may tailor our web
pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will only
be used to improve our site. Any collection or use of clickstream data
will be anonymous and aggregate.
Supplementing Information. From time
to time we may supplement information you give us with information from
other sources, such as information validating your address. Thus, information
we obtain through Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary may be intermingled
with and used in conjunction with information obtained through sources
other than Shop Brodart and/or YourHomeLibrary, including both offline
and online sources.
Our
Commitment to Security.
We believe we have in place the appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect online
as well as offline. When your personal information is passed onto non-affiliated
companies, to the extent practical, we require that they also have in
place the appropriate safeguards. We cannot, however, guarantee that they
do so.
