Privacy
Hollander believes that privacy is important
to the success and use of the Internet. This statement sets forth
Hollander's Privacy Statement for our websites and describes the practices
that Hollander will follow with respect to the privacy of users of
this site. From time to time, we may change this Privacy Statement.
For example, as we update and improve our service, new features
may require modifications to the Privacy Statement. Accordingly,
please check back periodically. What is personally identifiable
information?
"Personally identifiable information"
is information about you, such as name, address, e-mail address,
user ID, credit card number, social security number, and so on.
How is information collected, used, and
disclosed?
We do not collect personal information -- including
your e-mail address -- unless we first ask you for it. On some of
our sites, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with information,
including your e-mail address, street address, telephone number
or other information so that we may enhance your site visit or follow
up with you after your visit. Whether you provide any information
is entirely up to you.
If you have voluntarily provided information, you
consented to the collection and use of your personally identifiable
information as described in this Privacy Statement. In some circumstances,
Hollander may share information you voluntarily provide us with trustworthy
business partners. We do not sell or rent personal information collected
through this site to anyone. Also, Hollander may provide aggregate
statistics about visitors to our sites, such as volume, traffic
patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party
vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifiable
information. Hollander may also disclose information in special cases
when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
(a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process;
(b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the Web
site Terms and Conditions of Use; or (d) act to protect the interests
of our users or others.
What are cookies and how are they used?
Some Hollander sites, like many other commercial
web sites, may utilize a standard technology called "cookies"
to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were
designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular
user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember
any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing
the site. Cookies are small strings of text that web sites can send
to your browser. Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing
an Hollander informational site, a cookie may be used to identify
your browser as one that has visited the site before.
We may also make use of memory-based cookies in
support of authenticating the user of certain Hollander web applications.
Similarly, if you are a registered user of a site providing service
to Hollander clients (and have a user ID and password), we may use
cookies so that we can provide personalized information based on
preferences you have indicated while using the site. Although you
have the ability to modify your browser to either accept all cookies,
notify you when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may
not be possible to utilize Hollander services which require registration
if you reject cookies.
What are your choices regarding collection,
use, and distribution of your information?
If you have voluntarily provided information, you
consented to the collection and use of your personally identifiable
information as described in this Privacy Statement. If, in connection
with your use of a particular service, we ask to use your data in
a way not described in this Privacy Statement and you do not wish
to permit that use, you can choose not to use the particular service.
If you have voluntarily provided personally identifiable
information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or e-mail
regarding products and services. If you do not want to receive such
offers and mailings, you can easily indicate that by checking the
appropriate box on the submission form.
How can you correct, access, and update
your information?
You may view and edit your personally identifiable
information at any time by contacting us using the link provided
on the web site.
How do we protect your information?
We exercise great care to protect your personally
identifiable information. This includes, among other things, using
industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion
detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information
you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that
information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission,
we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers.
Internally, we will restrict access to your personally
identifiable information to employees who need access to the information
in order to do their jobs. These employees are limited in number,
and are committed to our privacy policies.
We will review our security arrangements from time
to time as we deem appropriate.
How can you help protect your information?
If you are using an Hollander web site for which
you registered and chose a password, we recommend that you do not
divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail.
Also remember to sign out of the registered site and close your
browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure
that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence
if others have access to your computer.
Other sites
Hollander sites may contain links to other
sites, including those of our business partners. While we seek to
link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for
privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed
by other sites.
