Information Collection and Use Information Collection

Sharks Technologies  is the sole owner of the information that is collected on sharktechnologies.com. Sharks Technologies collects information from and about our users in connection with a number of tools and activities.

Order

We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). Financial information is collected through a payment processor that complies with the PCI Data Security Standard. If you request that your Sharks Technologies purchase be shipped to someone other than yourself (such as a gift recipient), we use the information you provide about the other person to fulfill the shipment. The information collected in connection with orders is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user's activity on our Web site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

If users reject the use of cookies, certain elements of the Web site may cease to function, such as adding items to the Shopping Cart.

Log Files

Like most standard Web sites, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)

We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. For example, we may decide to share the aggregate number of customers of Sharks Technologies by zip code. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Information Use and Sharing with Trusted Partners

We do not disclose personal information that can reasonably be traced to an individual, household or business, such as email addresses, physical addresses and financial information to third parties, except trusted partners that help us deliver our products and services. Our trusted partners include our payment processor(s), shipping companies and others we engage to deliver goods and services to our customers. Trusted partners are prohibited from using the personal information we provide to them for any purpose except to provide the goods and services that we have contracted with them to provide.

Communication with Customer Service

We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services, and in regards to issues relating to their account to which we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users' wishes.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose any information requested. The requested information may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Anonymous Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Links to Third Party Web Sites

Our Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Sharks Technologies, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site they visit. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by our Web site.

Third Parties You Affirmatively Choose to Communicate With

We may partner with other third parties that offer to provide specific goods and services to our customers and users of our Web site. When the user signs up for these particular services through us, we share names and other contact information necessary for the third party to communicate with you about the goods and services you have asked to receive.

Business Transitions

In the event Sharks Technologies goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Data Security

Sharks Technologies as developer and manager of our Web site, has taken reasonable steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to information that is maintained in our computer systems. These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, ensure the integrity of information that is transmitted between our customers and Sharks Technologies, and to provide reasonable protection of private information that is in our possession. Unfortunately, however, there is no way to guarantee that a third-party will not attempt to breach our systems. Recognizing this risk, we take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to, alteration of and/or exfiltration of information from our systems.

WARNING -- If security monitoring reveals possible evidence of criminal activity, information pertaining to such activity may be provided to law enforcement officials. Unauthorized attempts to upload information and/or change information on the Sharks Technologies website are strictly prohibited and are subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and Title 18 U.S.C. Sec.1001 and 1030.

Disclosure when required by law

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on us.

 

The information contained in this policy statement should not be construed in any way as giving business, legal, or other advice, or warranting as fail proof, the security of information provided via the Sharks Technologies Web site.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement and we will indicate the date of our last update to this Privacy Policy at the time of this page.
