At First Distributors, Inc., we respect the privacy interests of our website visitors and are committed to providing a safe and secure online experience. This Privacy
Policy describes the types of information we collect, the uses we make of that information and the ways you can alter or delete the personal information you choose to
give us.
As always, thank you for interest in First Distributors and please feel free to contact us with any questions about this Privacy Policy or any aspect of your shopping
experience.
Information We Collect
In general, First Distributors, Inc. does not collect personal identifying information from visitors to this web site unless such information is provided by the
individual. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of First Distributors, Inc.'s Internet servers, including the type of
operating system and browser being used by the visitor. The information we collect allows us to make statistical analyses of the use of our site, to improve the
content of our site, and to customize our site to better suit your needs.
In an effort to protect our customers and to ensure that new customers meet our purchasing requirements, we do require visitors to register or sign in to view our
wholesale pricing. There may be times such as when you place an order, participate in a contest/promotion, etc. at which we may ask you to provide certain information
about yourself. We also maintain a record of your online purchases.
Whether or not to provide personal information is completely of your own choice. However, if you choose to not provide required information, you may be unable to view
pricing, purchase products, participate in offers or any other services, etc. in which we require information. In the event that you do not feel comfortable providing
required information, please feel free to contact us with your concerns.
Use Of Your Information
We may use aggregated information, which does not identify you personally, for advertising, marketing, promotional and other business purposes. Should you choose to
provide personal identifying information, we may use and disclose that information in a number of ways related to your use of our site. We may use your personal
identifying information in connection with sending you specific, targeted information that may be of interest to you. We may use your contact information, such as
your e-mail address, to acknowledge your request for information, confirmation of an order or for other similar purposes. We will not sell our member contact list or
provide your personal identifying information to any other person or entity in the ordinary course of our business, although we reserve the right to transfer such
information in connection with a change in ownership of First Distributors, Inc. or its assets. In some instances, we may use third party companies to help us with
technical website/database maintenance, to fulfill promotions or product/information requests or other business operating situations. In those instances, the
information is provided only for that purpose.
Cookies
We make use of "cookies," which are small sets of information stored onto your computer in connection with your use of our web site. We may use information gathered
by cookies to measure certain traffic patterns on our web site or for similar purposes. A user does not need to have the cookie function of their browser turned on in
order to use this web site. If you arrived at our site through a link from another site, it is also possible that these other sites may place a cookie or other
identifier on your computer. We do not control and are not responsible for the use of cookies or other identifiers by anyone except First Distributors, Inc..
Corrections and Deletions
If you want to see the personal information we have collected about you from this site, or if you believe any information we have is incorrect and you wish to correct
it, please write to us at the address given at the end of this Privacy Policy. If we change or delete information in response to your request, we will discontinue
using it; however, some information may remain in backup records and may take time to be ultimately purged.
Security
While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal identifying information, given the nature of the Internet, we cannot ensure complete security and we are not
responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of any person or entity other than First Distributors, Inc.. Although we take precautions against security
breaches, hackers pose a threat to any Internet user, and the legal and regulatory status of matters on the Internet are uncertain both in the United States and abroad.
For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that all of your personal identifying information will never be disclosed in ways you do not expect or which are not described
in this Privacy Policy. We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries, we obey court orders, and we honor subpoenas and other legal process. Your personal identifying
information may be disclosed if we are compelled by law or legal process to disclose it. We may also disclose such information if we determine, in our sole
discretion, that disclosure would be useful in connection with investigating possible noncompliance either with the law or with any policy of First Distributors, Inc.
Consent
Anyone under 18 should not send any information about themselves to us, including information like your name, address or e-mail address. First Distributors, Inc. does
not knowingly collect personally identifying information from anyone under the age of 18. In the event that we learn that we have collected such information from an
individual under 18 without parental consent, the information will be deleted from our database as soon as reasonably possible.
Changes to this Privacy Policy Statement
First Distributors, Inc. reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will go into effect on the date posted on the Privacy Policy. The new
policy will apply to current and past site users and will replace any prior policies and information that may be inconsistent.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our site may contain links to other websites operated and managed by third parties. We are not responsible for websites operated and maintained by third parties.
Although we make a reasonable effort to provide links to high quality and safe sites, you use these links at your own risk. We advise our visitors to review the
privacy policy of a linked site before use.
