COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Quality Cleaning Supplies. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost
importance to us. At Quality Cleaning Supplies, we want to make your on-line experience safe and satisfying.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and
conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather and how we use it.
Quality Cleaning Supplies gathers two types of information about users:
» Information users provide through optional,
voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to
email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
» Information Quality Cleaning Supplies gathers through aggregated
tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to our viewer's
needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Quality Cleaning
Supplies divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Quality Cleaning Supplies Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
Electronic Newsletters
We may offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Quality Cleaning Supplies gathers the email addresses
of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link
provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe
to the newsletters at the time of registration.
"E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient.
This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what
our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not
identifiable to any particular user. Quality Cleaning Supplies may use a system to "tag" users after
they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information
about individual users.
Surveys
Quality Cleaning Supplies may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience.
We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and
partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage Tracking
Quality Cleaning Supplies tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate
this information with data about individual users. Quality Cleaning Supplies does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
Quality Cleaning Supplies sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms users enter in our Search function, but this
tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather
how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself
does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information
you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
Quality Cleaning Supplies uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system
delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting
cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use
this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in polling and surveys.
Use of Information
Quality Cleaning Supplies uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our
network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to
enable users to participate in polls and surveys. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be
particularly interested in something we are doing. Quality Cleaning Supplies never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you. We track terms entered in the Search function as one of many measures to
learn what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
Quality Cleaning Supplies creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers,
sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and our users to receive
advertisements pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser
or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose information about any
individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of
our users or the public.
Sharing of the Information
Quality Cleaning Supplies uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help
our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We
will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
Security
Quality Cleaning Supplies operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and
only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.
Opt-out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
» Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
» Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to
gather any personally identifiable information from our users
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Quality Cleaning Supplies. If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
