TheRoomSurgeons.com Privacy Policy
TheRoomSurgeons.com strives to
offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology
and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information
(your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject
to the terms of this privacy policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent
your email address to any
unauthorized third party.
How we gather information from
users
How we collect and store
information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and
the services provided. For example,
you may be asked to provide
information when you register for
access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features,
such as newsletters or when you make
a purchase. You may provide
information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message
boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like
most Web sites, TheRoomSurgeons.com
also collects information
automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use
cookie technology to recognize you
and hold information from your
visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time
you visit, or may control the number
of times you encounter a particular
advertisement while visiting our
site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to
provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to
refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access
certain portions of the site or may
be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site's features
according to your preferences.
What we do with the
information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your
visit and deliver more
individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not
personally identify you) may be used
in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage
patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g.,
to learn which pages are visited
most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information
may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected
on www.TheRoomSurgeons.com to
communicate with you about your
registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service
and privacy policy; services and
products offered by
www.TheRoomSurgeons.com and other
topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by
TheRoomSurgeons.com may also be used
for other purposes, including but
not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and
contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who
provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted
by law. In addition, from time to
time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or
partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the
transferred assets. We may also
disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other
times when we believe we are
reasonably required to do so by law,
in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or to
law enforcement authorities whenever
we deem it appropriate or necessary.
Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in
such cases.
