This privacy statement explains our privacy practices for our customers who shop and register in our Web site, http://www.ihomewholesale.com.
Commitment to Privacy
We respect your right to privacy. Your ability to make informed choices about the uses of your information is important to us. This privacy statement explains our policy regarding the collection, use, disclosure and protection of personal information. The terms of this privacy statement apply to information collected from you, unless different terms are specified as part of a special offer, or in another form or contract we provide you and you consent to those terms by participating in the special offer or the program, or otherwise. The following provide detailed information about our privacy practices:
- What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information that identifies an individual or is directly associated with a specific person or entity such as a customer's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, or information about activities which can be directly linked to that person, such as his or her purchases.
- Collection of Personal Information
We collect the personal information that you provide us, such as when you:
- register for membership
- place an order or purchase products by our site, by telephone, mail or facsimile
- contact us for any reason, such as by replying to inquires by mail, fax or through our Web site, by telephone through customer service.
We may automatically collect some information when you visit our Web site, such as your computer's network address and operating system, the site from which you linked to us, and the time and date of your visit and purchases. We do not link this to personal information. This information may be collected through the use of "cookies". We may combine this information with the other personal information we maintain about you. In either case, this policy statement governs this information.
- Use of Personal Information by ihomewholesale.com
The personal information we collect is generally used to process your requests or transactions, provide you with high-quality service, tell you about opportunities we think will be of interest, and understand your needs so that we can serve you better. We also may use personal information we collect to provide you with promotional information, which is information we believe will add value to your membership, such as coupon savings and promotions. If you prefer not to receive Promotional Information from us, we make it easy for you to let us know. You can contact us at any time to decline Promotional Information.
- Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, share or disclose personal information to third parties without your prior consent, except in the limited circumstances described below:
- Order Fulfillment
We may provide to a third party certain information that is necessary to fulfill an order you have placed with us. For example, if you request shipment for a purchase, we may provide your address to the shipping carrier, and if you pay by a credit or debit card, your card number and sales transaction information are passed on to the card processor and/or issuer (including their service providers such as fraud verification services). However, we give vendors, suppliers, and others involved in the commerce distribution chain only the information needed to provide you the products or services you order, such as shipping and/or billing address, e-mail address, telephone number and product orders. Moreover, we require them to keep the information confidential and not to use it for other purposes. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.
- Protection of Personal Information
We have put into place security measures in an effort to protect personal information from loss, misuse or alteration while it is under our control. Personal information we collect is stored electronically and may be combined with other membership information. We use technical, administrative and physical measures in an effort to protect against unauthorized access.
Account information is accessible online only through the use of a password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of ihomewholesale.com by any person using your password. If other people have access to your e-mail, they may be able to access your password and obtain personal information about you (such as your credit card information), or change information about your user profile. You should not use an e-mail account operated by an employer because many employers have the legal right to access such e-mail accounts. Please advise us immediately by email us, if you believe your password has been misused.
