information collected on this site. We
will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this statement. Ward
Cameron Enterprises collects information from our users at several different
points on our website. RegistrationIn order to use portions of this website, you must first complete a registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers, but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. Order We request information from the user on our order form.
Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our Discussion Forums. Log FilesWe use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Sharing We
may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person. We
use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes. We
occasionally partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up
for these services, we will share only names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services. These
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services. Links

surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information.

shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site. Tell-A-FriendIf a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address.

outside parties. We do this so our

services that require an outside party, or not. Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users
