This privacy statement
discloses the privacy practices for www.myrtlebeachnames.com (Myrtle Beach Names).
This web site wants to demonstrate its firm commitment to your
privacy; it has agreed to disclose its information and its
privacy policy practices.
If you feel that this company is
not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you should contact
Customer Service at 843-238-6263 or by email to: Myrtlebeachnames@aol.com.
Information Collection,
Sharing, and Use
Myrtle Beach Names 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. Myrtle Beach Names collects
information from our users at several different points on our
web site.
Myrtle Beach Names does not collect or
store any information about how individuals make use of our
site. We study our log statistics as a whole, but do not trace
your browsing as a person, and we do not share or proffer this
information to third-party companies except as described herein
and/or with your permission.
We do not rent or share email
addresses or telephone numbers. We retain that information in
our records just so that we can contact you in case of pertinent
information.
In the event Myrtle Beach Names or a large
part of all assets are bought or merged with another company,
all customer information that we have stored will be transferred
to the new company. You may or may not be advised of such a
change beforehand.
We may use a third-party service
for marketing purposes across the Internet and occasionally on
this site. They may gather anonymous information about your
visits to our site and your dealings with our products and
services. They may also make use of information regarding your
visits to this and other sites to direct advertisements for
products and/or services. This anonymous information is
accumulated via a pixel tag, also know as a web beacon,
industry-standard technology utilized by most leading sites. If
you would like to know more about this practice and to
understand your options regarding not having this anonymous
information gathered or used by our third-party service, please
contact us.
Contacting our Customers
We do not use "direct
telemarketing" techniques, either by telephone or fax, and
we will never give your name and/or phone number to a company
that does so. We sometimes call our customers to inquire about
the quality of our services. For instance, we occasionally
scrutinize the shippers we use to make certain that orders are
delivered in a timely manner, and without damage. Nevertheless,
we do not do telephone marketing and will not sell information
to companies that do.
Shopping/Ordering
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.
Myrtle Beach Names, like all companies
that sell via an Internet catalog, retains a list of current and
prospective customers. If you place an order with us, we will
send email or regular mail offers and product changes, unless
you have opted out of this service. We prefer to have email
address as well as postal address in order to be able to contact
you in certain situations, such as contests/promotions,
shipping/delivery questions or problems, or modifications to an
order.
Opting Out of Communications
We know that you may or may not
wish to receive future offers of any sort. If you don't want
email or other correspondence from us (except for critical order
information), simply choose to opt out of correspondence by
contacting us.
Security
This web site takes every
precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit
sensitive information via the web site, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form
asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number and/or social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are the norm for
encrypted commercial transactions throughout the Internet. SSL
encrypts all personal information, such as your name and credit
card number, so that this information cannot be viewed as it is
processed online. While on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
Only those pages where you input
your credit card and billing information deliver encrypted
information. When you ask for one of these checkout screens, the
page's URL starts with “https” instead of http, and the
security icon on your browser resembles a closed (locked)
padlock. [this page you are viewing is secure]
While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in
our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our
users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter,
as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are
notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers'
information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure
environment.
If you have any questions about
the security at our web site, you can send an email to Myrtlebeachnames@aol.com.

our site design, as well as offer better and more pertinent
products, services, contests, and promotions to our customers.

offer promotions on other sites, and encapsulate visitor site
usage collectively (not individually) for analytic and
diagnostic purposes only.

first-party cookies, we will lose the ability to track your

addition, we will not know how to recognize you as a
"returning customer" to grant you access to your
account information or aid with data input during the checkout
process.
If you are worried about cookies,
and wish to avoid them totally, we recommend that you use or buy
one of the many first-rate "Cookie Eliminator"
programs easily available. On the other hand, many modern
browsers permit you to choose your preferred privacy settings as
they relate to cookies. For instance, you may decide to not
accept third-party cookies or you may want to delete all cookies
upon closing the browser window. Making use of any or all of
these techniques will not change your use of www.myrtlebeachnames.com other
than requiring you to log in when you return.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on our here 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.
