1.Minors (under 18)
Children are not eligible to
use our services and we ask that minors
(under 18 years of age) do not submit any personal information to
us.
2. Information We Collect.
Our primary goal in collecting
personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth,
efficient, and personalized experience while using our services.
This allows us to provide services and features that most likely
meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your
experience easier and quicker.
We automatically track certain information about you based upon your
behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal
research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to
better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled
and analyzed on an aggregated basis.
Using the Site's web server log files, we use IP addresses to
analyze trends, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information. This information may include
the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or
not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or
not), what browser and operating system you are using, your IP
address etc.
In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may
also offer certain features that are only available through the use
of a cookie. Cookies can also help us provide information which is
targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive,
not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that
they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. The other
type of cookie we use is a 'persistent' cookie. This stays on your
hard drive and we use this to automatically identify who you are. We
use this cookie so that you do not need to log in manually every
time you visit the site if you are a registered user. The cookie
itself contains no personally identifiable information but it does
pass an ID to our server which allows us to tie the cookie to your
personal information. We do this to allow us to let you know on the
homepage what has changed on the site since your last visit. We also
use the cookie to track how often you visit the site so we know who
our most loyal users are. You are always free to decline our cookies
if your browser permits, although in that case you will not be able
to use certain features on our site. For example, if you disable
cookies, you will need to log in manually each time you visit the
site as we cannot use a cookie to remember who you are.
Surveys & Contests. From time-to-time our site may request
information from users via surveys, contests or for a particular
service (e.g. newsletter). 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
will include contact information (as supplied to the site during
registration) and supplementary information on your professional
interests, opinions and preferences . We will use the contact
information to notify winners. We will not publish winners' details
on the site though on request we will provide details of any
winners' name and organization. If the survey or contest has a
sponsor then we will share information given by entrants with the
sponsor.
Payment Processing. In order to process payments
online we require the billing address for the credit card used and
our external payment provider,
AuthorizeNet, requires your credit
card details. For details of how your information is used, please
see following section.
3. Our Use of Your Information.
We use personally identifiable
information about you to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content
and product offerings and to customize our site's content, layout,
and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and
better tailor it to meet our users' needs.
We use your e-mail address to send you newsletters or other
communications that you have requested from the Site. Out of respect
for our users we offer an opt-out (see 4. below).
We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other
information we obtain from your current and past activities on the
Site, to resolve any disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our
User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to
identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on rare
occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users using
multiple User IDs or alias.
Payment Processing. We use
AuthorizeNet as our external
payment provider. In addition to the information outlined above, we
require the billing address of the credit card you use so that we
can pass this to AuthorizeNet who check the address against the
cardholder's details for security purposes. We store these billing
details on our servers in case we need to contact you in the future
regarding payments. AuthorizeNet requires that you provide your
credit card details to process the transaction. This is done on a
secure AuthorizeNet server using SSL (secure sockets layer).
Centurion Tactical does not have any access to these credit card
details and they are not stored or processed in any way by Centurion
Tactical. In the case of a suspected fraudulent transaction, card
details may be disclosed to Centurion Tactical by AuthorizeNet for
the sole purpose of performing further checks. Centurion Tactical is
not permitted to then retain these details. These details are stored
securely by AuthorizeNet in order to process future payments you may
make, but AuthorizeNet does not use your information for any other
purpose.
4. Opt-Out of Email
Communications
If at any stage you wish no longer
to receive any e-mails that you receive from the site you can stop
them by contacting us.
5. Our Disclosure of Your
Information
Unfortunately, due to the existing
regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personally identifiable information will
never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy.
By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced
to disclose information to the government or third parties under
certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you
authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law
enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole
discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or
other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
Drop Shipping. Some items you order from
CenturionTactical.com are drop shipped directly fromt the
distributor or manufacturer. Your personal information
required for shipping is passed to the 3rd party who is actually
shipping you the product.
Legal Requests. Centurion Tactical cooperates with law
enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws,
intellectual property and other rights. Local, and international law
enforcement agents can request and may receive your personally
identifiable information.
6. "Tell a friend" services
CenturionTactical.com offers a
service whereby you can e-mail site content (for example, a
particular forum post) to a friend or colleague. This will involve
entering the e-mail address of your friend. We do not use the e-mail
addresses you enter for any purpose other than to send your e-mail.
We do not store, rent or sell these e-mail addresses.
7. Changes to Privacy Policy
If we are going to use your
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that
stated at the time of collection we will notify you via email. You
will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in
this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes
in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web
site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the
notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive
communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy
practices.
