Q: What is the Barvan-int policy on cookies?
A.: Cookies are tiny text files, which are stored on your computer and the Barvan-int website uses these files to remember the pages that you visit, what items are in your cart and various other things which are all in place to make the site easier to use. All shopping websites use cookies and without them the site would not be that convenient.
Here are the types of information we collect from you:
Information You Give Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, communicating with you and improving your website experience. You provide such information when you search, buy, participate in a contest or questionnaire, and communicate with customer service or sign-up for a newsletter. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with information such as: your name; address and phone number; PayPal/ credit card information (if needed); people to whom purchases have been shipped (including addresses and phone numbers).
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Barvan-int. We would like to make you aware that tools do exist to allow you to browse websites anonymously; however, this will mean that we will be unable to provide you with a more customized experience. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include: the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; email address; password; computer and connection information such as web browser type and version; operating system and platform; purchase history, which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers to create marketing campaigns; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our website (including date and time); cookie number; products you viewed or searched for. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.
Email Communications
To help us make emails more useful and interesting, it is our practice to receive a confirmation when you open an email from Barvan-int if your computer supports such capabilities.
Q.: Does Barvan-int share the information that we receive through our website?
A.: We absolutely hate receiving spam email and would never want to inflict this on anyone, especially our customers. As a result we will never sell your personal information to any third parties.
We do, however, have certain Third Party Service Providers who perform important business functions on our behalf. These include: processing payment transactions, fulfilling orders and delivering packages. They have access to personal data needed to carry out their functions, but they may not use it for other purposes. We require that all our Third Party Service Providers process personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
With your consent, other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Q.: How secure is your information?
A.: We protect the security of your transaction information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to any passwords you have with us and we recommend that you do not submit sensitive financial information on shared or public computers.
Q.: What is your policy concerning children using Barvan-int.com?
A.: We will never knowingly collect information from children under of the age of 13 in accordance with the Children’s' Online Privacy Protection Act. If it comes to our attention that a customer under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us, we will remove all such information from our files. However, we may still maintain a record of that person's name and address in a do not register file in order to avoid a subsequent registration.
Q.: How do I remove myself from your mailing lists?
A.: At the bottom of every email that we send out is an unsubscribe link. You can opt out by clicking this link or sending us a message via email. However, we may still maintain a copy of your personal information in an inactive customer file for our own internal reference.
