1. Applicability
This Privacy Policy and Security Statement ("Statement") applies to this Web site ("Site"), which is owned and operated by Brightstar Corporation ("Brightstar" or "we") for the purpose of selling certain products and services offered by the companies represented on this Site ("Sellers"). Brightstar may operate other Web sites that are governed by different privacy policies and security statements.
2. General
We recognize that privacy and security are a concern for most individuals accessing the Internet. Whether you're buying one of the quality products or services offered on this Site, or just browsing our Site, we want to make you comfortable with our privacy practices and the security measures we take to protect your personal information. By visiting and by using our Web site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Statement as currently in effect. If you do not agree please do not access or use our Site. If we decide to change this Statement, the changes will be posted here on the Site, so please check back periodically to ensure you have the most current policy.
3. Personal Information
This Statement applies to only personal information. Information submitted solely in a business capacity is not covered by this Statement. "Personal information" is information about a natural person that identifies a specific individual, including, but not limited to, his or her name, title, company, physical and electronic addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information.
4. Information Collected
a. If You Only Visit: If you do nothing during your visit to this Site but browse or download information, we automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
This information does not identify you personally and is used for gathering web site statistics. Our web site logs do not identify a visitor by personal information.
b. If You Place An Order: If you place an order with us, we request information from you on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as name, e-mail address and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your order/request. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with you. We will normally send you an e-mail confirming any order you place with us. Depending on the settings on your computer, we may receive a return e-mail (a read-receipt) when you open the confirmation e-mail.
c. If You Send Us an E-Mail: You may choose to provide us with personal information, as in e-mail with a comment or question. We use the information to improve our service to you or to respond to your request.
d. Distribution List: The Site will offer you the option of adding your name and e-mail address to a distribution list for information on new products and services, special offers and other marketing opportunities. We will not add your name and e-mail address to such a list unless you affirmatively permit us to do so, that is, you have "opted-in". You may also remove your name and e-mail address from a distribution list at any time by using the "unsubscribe" technique found in the e-mail message, that is, you may "opt-out" at any time. We will act on your opt-out promptly, but it may not be effective immediately die to normal processing delays.
5. Sharing With Third Parties
Except as outlined below in this Statement, we never provide your personal information to third parties without your consent.
The Site may also contain optional surveys and questionnaires asking for information, as well as several opportunities for visitors to ask questions. We use the information you provide to help us design and build better products, to customize your shopping experience, and to provide advice and purchase recommendations. Taking part in any of these segments is always optional. We do not share the names and e-mail addresses of recipients of our distribution list or the results of our surveys and questionnaires with third parties, including Sellers.
We may do research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us when making a purchase, from surveys and from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis so as to prevent identification of personal information relating to any one individual. We may share this aggregated data with our Sellers and other business partners. In addition, we will share aggregated data with our Sellers in order to collect funds owed to us by the Sellers and in order to administer our relationships with those Sellers.
6. Cookies
When you come into our Site, our server attaches a small text file to your hard drive -- a cookie. Your unique cookie tells us that it's you whenever you re-enter our site, so we can recall where you've previously been on our site, and what, if anything, you have in your shopping cart. Cookies help us deliver a better Web site experience to our users.
This information collected by using a cookie is sometimes called "clickstream." We use this information to understand how our users navigate our site, and to determine common traffic patterns, including what site the user came from. We may use this information to make site navigation and product recommendations, and to help redesign our site in order to make your experience on our site more efficient and enjoyable. We may also use this information to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions that you and other users will see.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities that require the placement of cookies.
7. Security
When you place an order or provide personal information through this Site, your transactions are encrypted for security. Encryption scrambles the information in your purchase, including your credit card number.
This Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. The SSL protocol provides server authentication, data integrity, and privacy on the Web. SSL encrypts your personal and financial information as it is being transmitted, including credit card information, and also verifies the identity of the server and that the original message arrives at its destination.
We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when we confirm an order. Of course, we send the full credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. Your personal information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We do not send it outside the United States for processing.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from this Site, and therefore you use this Site at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. We also cannot be responsible for criminal acts of third parties, such as "hackers", who may seek to compromise our security measures through unlawful means. Industry-accepted security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operation of the Site.
8. Children
We do not sell products for purchase by children (persons under the age of 18). If you are under 18, you may use this Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, please do not send us any personal information without the approval of a parent or guardian.
9. Endorsements and Links to Other Sites
This Site may contain advertising for the purpose of commercial information and hyperlinks to, or web addresses of, the Web sites of other organizations. When you visit such other Web sites, you are no longer on our Site and you are subject to the privacy and security policies of the new site. We do not review these other privacy and security policies and takes no responsibility for them.
10. Changes and Inquiries
We may change, modify or withdraw this Statement at any time without notice. If you ever have questions regarding this Statement or want to be removed from a mailing list, please contact us at android@brightstarcorp.com.
