Collecting Information
Like many websites, we gather information about how visitors use our
website. In general, you can visit many of our web pages without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. We may track your Internet domain address for trends and
statistics, but you will remain anonymous unless you tell us who you
are. For more information, see "Cookies and Pixel Tags" section below.
We request information from you (which may include name, address,
telephone number, email address, and when necessary
credit card information) when you:
- Register

- Participate in a promotion or other website feature
In order to better understand your preferences and better serve
you, we may combine information you give us online with other
information from Shockwarehouse.com sources, transactions and
communications. All data combined and stored with online data
is protected by this privacy policy.

Sharing Information
We do not sell or rent your information to any outside parties.
For the purpose of operating our business, we may transfer information
between Shockwarehouse.com and our preferred service providers who use
that information only to conduct Shockwarehouse.com business. For example,
they may handle Shockwarehouse.com's credit card processing, shipping,
data management, email distribution, market research, information analysis,
and promotions management. We may also share your information to administer
a website feature (e.g. contests) and in that case will notify you before you
give us your information. We provide our preferred service providers with
the information they need to perform their services and work with them to
respect and protect your information.
On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information upon governmental
request, in response to a court order, when required by law, to enforce our
website policies, or to protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.
We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection
or investigation. We do not provide information to these agencies or
companies for marketing or commercial purposes.
Protecting Your Information
We use a variety of security measures, including sophisticated encryption
and authentication tools to maintain the safety of your personal information.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only
accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to
such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you
place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure
server. All credit card information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only
accessed as stated above. Regardless of these efforts, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
