Trasan.com (RagMops, Inc.) Privacy Notice

Last updated: January 28, 2003
Trasan.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 Trasan.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. 

Personal Information Collected on Customers and Members:
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Trasan.com. Here are the types of information we gather. 

Information You Provide:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You provide most such information when you search, buy, register, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product; place an order through Trasan.com; provide information in Your Account (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one e-mail address when shopping with us) or About You; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; compile Wish Lists or other gift registries; participate in Discussion Boards or Trasan.com Chat; provide and rate Reviews; or other website activities that are in place or maybe developed by Trasan in the future. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number; people (with addresses and phone numbers); content of reviews and e-mails to us; personal description; and financial information, including Social Security, Tax Identification Numbers, and Sales Tax Permits. 

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, improving our store, 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 Trasan.com. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; cookie number; products you viewed or searched for; and the phone number you used to call our 800 number. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Trasan.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist. 

E-mail Communications: 
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Trasan.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 Email Preferences. 
 
Use of 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 and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. Our shopping cart relies heavily on the use of cookies, but is not dependent upon them for use of our site. However, use of cookies enables our shopping cart to retain your item selections in the event your Internet connection is disrupted.
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. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Trasan.com's features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on. 

Sharing of Information:
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: 

Agents: 
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, 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.

Sales Agents: 
We employ independent sales agents to promote Trasan’s products. Customer names and email addresses may be provided to the agent as a means of customer service. As many customers find our site through such agents via email contact, agent’s personal or business web sites, this information may already be in the possession of such agents. This information is shared with the agent as a means to notify the agent that a purchase was made as a result of their marketing efforts and as a means of customer service in that the agent may send a thank you email and contact the shopper to ensure that your products were received in good condition, in a timely manner, or in an effort to explain the effective use of our products. This sharing of information, however, does not permit our agents to contact your in regards to non-Trasan related matters and your requests to not be contacted are honored by our agents in accordance with our Spam policies.

Promotional Offers: 
Sometimes we may send offers to selected groups of Trasan.com customers or members on behalf of other businesses; however, to date we have not done this. If we do, we will not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Email Preferences. 

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 RagMops, Inc. dba The Trasan Network, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. 

Protection of Trasan.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 Trasan.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. 

Providing 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. 

Information Security: 
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. The Trasan.com website makes extensive use of framing technology which, while making the site easier to navigate, may block the browsers ability to display the secure lock symbol on the status bar. Secure status may be viewed by viewing the properties of the web page (typically accessible by right clicking on the web page that is secured). 

We reveal your credit card number during order finalization; however, credit card numbers are not sent in emailed receipts to customers or members. 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.

Access to Information:
Trasan.com gives members access to a broad range of information about their accounts and interactions with Trasan.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. Members can change their address and other contact information as well as change the information that is displayed to others on their personalized websites. The list of which can be changed or customized may change as our Web site evolves. Information is changeable only with Customer or Member ID and Password assigned by Trasan.

Options: 
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records. 

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Email Preferences. (If you do not want to receive Terms and Conditions and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of Trasan.com, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.) 

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. However, you will not be able to use such important features of your website if you do not use cookies. 

Children:
Trasan.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use Trasan.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. 

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions:
If you choose to visit Trasan.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Terms and Conditions, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of California. If you have any concern about privacy at Trasan.com, please send us a thorough description to feedback@trasan.com, and we will try to resolve it. 

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Terms and Conditions will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
