SafetyBob.com Privacy Notice
Last updated: February 9, 2008.
- SafetyBob.com knows that you care how information about you is used
and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully
and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By
visiting SafetyBob.com, you are accepting the practices described in
this Privacy Notice.
What Personal Information About
Customers Does SafetyBob.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your shopping experience at SafetyBob.com. Here 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, 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
SafetyBob.com.
- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more
useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open
e-mail from SafetyBob.com if your computer supports such capabilities.
We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies,
in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please
adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.
- Information from Other Sources: We might receive
information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information.
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.
- The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how
to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable
cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar
data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the
add-on's settings or visiting the Website of its manufacturer. However,
because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of SafetyBob.com's
essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For
instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not
be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or
use any SafetyBob.com products and services that require you to Sign
in.
Does SafetyBob.com Share the
Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business,
and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer
information only as described below and with subsidiaries SafetyBob.com,
Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow
practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
- Third-Party Service Providers: 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, providing search results and links
(including paid listings and links), 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.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our
business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units.
In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made
in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer
consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that SafetyBob.com,
Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Protection of SafetyBob.com and Others: We release
account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate
to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and
other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of SafetyBob.com,
our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing,
or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers
for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in
this Privacy Notice.
- 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 reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when
confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card
number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
- 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.

also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags

of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access
to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the
information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are
not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for
