We understand that making purchases online involves a great deal of trust on your part; we take this trust very seriously, and make it our highest priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personally identifiable information ("PII") you provide us. (PII includes information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as name, address, phone number, or e-mail address.) As a visitor to our U.S. web site, www.webcoredesigns.com ("WebCore Designs"), you have the right to understand our information privacy practices prior to providing WebCore Designs with any of your PII. This statement sets forth our privacy policy regarding information you provide to us through the use of our website. This statement also provides you with information on how to prevent your personal information from being collected or shared when you visit our website, or send us an e-mail.

Please review our Privacy Policy in conjunction with our other Legal Notices and, if applicable, your contract with us. The terms of this Privacy Policy are in addition to the terms of our Legal Notice and our contract. We offer some products and services that may be provided by third parties (Third Party Products). These Third Party Products may collect and use information in ways that differ from those set out in this Privacy Policy. We have no responsibility for how these third parties treat your information, however, if we have access to their privacy policies, we will provide them to you on your request.

We collect information from Users in many ways. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to provide Users with an understanding of what types of information we collect, how we treat it, and choices they may have related to this information. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time. To stay updated on our current Privacy Policy, please visit this page often. If you have a question about how a certain type of information is handled, please e-mail us at: info@webcoredesigns.com.

Our Policy in a Nutshell:

With some exceptions, we will not share the PII you provide to us with anyone, period!
To better understand the exceptions, please read our entire privacy policy.

What Information We Gather From You:

We collect information about you through two principal means: through technology (for example, IP addresses and cookies) and through your voluntary submission of information. WebCore Designs only collects PII that you voluntarily provide to us.

1. Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Using technology, our site can collect information about the type of browser you are using, your operating system and your IP address information. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer and is recognized by Web technology whenever you are surfing the Internet. None of this information is considered personally identifiable information. As technology evolves, additional methods of information gathering may be used, such as "pixel tags" (also known as "web beacons" and "clear gifs").

We may also use cookies and other technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information for a variety of purposes, such as to improve the design and content of our website and to enable us to provide a more personalized experience when you browse the Internet. Most industry-standard Web browsers have an option that allows you to turn off all cookies or have your computer inform you each time that a request to place a cookie is being made. If you turn cookies off (or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie), you may not have access to some features on our websites and some of our services, such as being automatically recognized as a loyal customer.

We will never provide any of your "personal or non-personally identifiable information" to third parties (such as marketers, ad-server companies and advertisers) that make use of general customer data. Nor will we share that information with other third parties.

WebCore Designs is not liable for information that is inaccurate due to technical defects in software used on our websites, whether induced by our systems or by software provided by third parties.

2. Personally Identifiable Information
You can use the majority of our website without being required to divulge any "personally identifiable information" to us. To participate in or use some of the services available on our site (such as submitting a request for information, or contacting us) you may be required to provide certain "personally identifiable information" (such as your name and e-mail address). In addition, in connection with some activities, such as requesting information, we may collect additional "personally identifiable information" such as your street and billing address and method of payment.

When corresponding with you via e-mail, we may use a variety of technologies, such as "clear gifs" or "web beacons," to let us know, among other things, whether you received and opened our e-mail. The clear gif included in the e-mail may establish a cookie on your system that further allows us to tailor information to fit your personal needs.

Customer Record
When users become customers they provide us with their address, email, phone number, and credit card. Users may also provide us with their fax number and company affiliation (together “Customer Record”).
