INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Treadstone Performance is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. When you shop on our website,
we collect personal information from you such as name,
address, email, phone number and/or credit card information.
This information is used for billing purposes for filling
customer's orders, contacting customers to inform them
of order status and sending promotional information.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to
others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Treadstone Performance collects information
from our users at several different points on our website.
LOG FILES
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the
site, track user's movement within the site, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
SHARING
We may share aggregated demographic information with
our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to
any personal information that can identify any person
individually.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and
a credit card processing company to charge users for
goods and services. These companies do not retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for
any secondary purposes.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these
services.
SECURITY
Treadstone Performance takes every precaution to protect
our users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as name, address, phone number, credit card information),
that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry, SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon
on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed
to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
When you submit your order, the sensitive information
is sent to our secure server that is retrieved only
by authorized administrators via secure connection and
pass worded logs.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need
the information to perform a specific job (i.e. for
billing purposes or service representatives) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Our employees
must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well
as any time new policies are added, our employees are
notified and/or reminded about the importance we place
on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers'
information is protected.
