WorldConnect Privacy Notice WorldConnect knows that you care how information about you is used and shared. We appreciate your trust and handle your information with great care. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting swissworldadapter.com and/or swisstravelproducts.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. What Personal Information About Customers Does Swisstravelproducts.com Gather? The information we gather from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at swisstravelproducts.com. Below are the types of information we gather. Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses swisstravelproducts.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at swisstravelproducts.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist. E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from swisstravelproducts.com if your computer supports such capabilities. Information from Other Sources: For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. What About Cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. Does Swisstravelproducts.com Share the Information It Receives? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with our affiliated businesses, an example of which are our distribution partners. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at swisstravelproducts.com or sell offerings to you at swisstravelproducts.com. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. You can tell when another business is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that business. Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of swisstravelproducts.com customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please remove your name from the Newsletter list. Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that WorldConnect AG, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. Protection of swisstravelproducts.com and Others We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of WorldConnect.ch, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. 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. How Secure Is Information About Me? We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. The credit card company WorldConnect AG works with, is specialized for web transactions and uses all the encryptions, protocols etc. that guarantees a secure transmission of any information. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. What Choices Do I Have? As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of some WorldConnect.ch features. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences. (If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of WorldConnect.ch, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.) Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions If you choose to visit WorldConnect.ch, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Washington. If you have any concern about privacy at WorldConnect.ch, please send us a thorough description to info@swisstravelproducts.com, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly. This Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to the Privacy Notice in effect at the time of use. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes.
