Information Collection and Use
The Master's Path is the sole owner of the 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.
The Master's Path collects information from our users at several
different points on our website.
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.
Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. 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 Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners
use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files -- We 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 will 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 partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share 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. Surveys & Contests From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and 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.
Security -- This website takes every precaution
to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information
via the website,
your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information, that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry
- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon
on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open,
when you are just 'surfing'.
Special Offers -- We send all new members a welcoming
email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally
receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and
opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
-- We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members
are able to un-subscribe
from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We communicate
with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information: If a
user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct,
update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can
usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer
Support. [Some sites may also provide telephone or postal mail options
for updating or correcting personal information].
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. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email.
Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
