Last Revised March 11, 2005
We at ElectroMiami
(“ElectroMiami”, “we” or “us”)
understand that making
purchases online involves a
great deal of trust on your
part. We take that trust
seriously, and, as a result,
we seek to ensure the security
and confidentiality of your
personal information online.
This privacy policy is an
effort to answer your
privacy-related questions. If
you have questions that are
not addressed herein, please
submit them to us by sending
an email to
webmaster@ElectroMiami.com.
The purpose
of this privacy policy (the
"Policy") is to help you
understand what kinds of
personally identifiable
information we may gather
about you when you visit the
ElectroMiami Web site located
at
www.ElectroMiami.com and
related sub-domains (the
“Site”), how we may use that
information, whether we will
disclose it, and how you can
correct or update it. We note
that this Policy sets forth
our online information
collection and use policies
under U.S. law. The Site is
intended for use by residents
of the U.S. who are over the
age of 18. We do not knowingly
collect personally
identifiable information from
children (that is, minors
younger than thirteen years of
age).
If you do
not agree to the terms of this
Policy, you should not use the
Site. We reserve the right to
update or modify this Policy
from time to time, and such
changes to the Policy will be
effective immediately;
therefore please bookmark this
page and review it
periodically to assure
familiarity with the most
current version of the Policy.
You can tell if the Policy has
been updated since you last
reviewed it by checking the
"Last Revised" date at the
beginning of the Policy.
This Policy
is the sole authorized
statement of ElectroMiami's
practices with respect to the
online collection of
personally identifiable
information and the usage of
such information. Any
summaries of this Policy
generated by third party
software or otherwise (for
example, in connection with
the "Platform for Privacy
Preferences" or "P3P") shall
have no legal effect, are in
no way binding upon
ElectroMiami, shall not be
relied upon in substitute for
this Policy, and neither
supersede nor modify this
Policy.
What
Personal Information We
Collect
ElectroMiami
collects personally
identifiable information that
you specifically and
voluntarily provide on the
Site or by email to
ElectroMiami. Personally
identifiable information (“PII”)
is information that identifies
you as a specific individual,
for example, your name,
company name, account number,
physical or email address, and
phone number plus other
information that personally
identifies you including your
industry, the number of
employees at your company, and
purchase history. The Site
includes both public areas,
open to all visitors, and
private areas that are open
only to those visitors who
choose to register. In
addition, visitors can sign up
on the Site to request email
newsletters and other
information from ElectroMiami.
ElectroMiami collects PII from
you when you:
We may use
third-party advertising
companies to serve ads on our
behalf. These companies may
employ cookies and action tags
(also known as single pixel
gifs or web beacons) to
measure advertising
effectiveness. Any information
that these third parties
collect via cookies and action
tags is completely anonymous.
If you would like more
information about this
practice and your choices,

How We
Use the Personal Information
We Collect
We use the PII
that you provide to us in
order to 1) fulfill requests
for products, services and/or
information, 2) provide
customer service, 3) offer new
products or services, 4)
measure and improve the
effectiveness of our Site and
our marketing endeavors, 5)
tailor our online offerings to
your preferences, 6)
administer promotions or
surveys, and 7) achieve other
business purposes as permitted
under applicable law.
When you make a
purchase on our Site we
collect credit card
information including card
number, card type, cardholder
name and billing address, and
expiration date, in order to
bill you for purchases made
through ElectroMiami. Please
review our
Credit Card Policy for
additional information.
ElectroMiami may disclose PII
to consultants, professional
advisors and contractors who
perform services on our
behalf, but only to the extent
necessary for them to perform
such services. At times,
ElectroMiami may seek to
validate the PII we have
collected via an audit by a
third party designed to
determine the accuracy of
and/or to update the
information collected. We may
also combine data that we
collect online with data
collected offline (such as
through purchases made through
one of our catalogs), or with
data provided by other
parties.
ElectroMiami shares PII
collected from our visitors
and customers with our
affiliated or related
companies, including its
parent company, affiliates,
subsidiaries, or its parent
company’s other subsidiaries.
ElectroMiami reserves the
right to release PII
concerning any visitor when
that visitor is believed by
ElectroMiami to be in
violation of any published
guidelines for the use of the
Site, or participates (or is
suspected of participating) in
any illegal or potentially
illegal activity. ElectroMiami
also reserves the right to
disclose PII to comply with
applicable law, in response to
civil subpoenas or discovery
requests, or when we believe
in good faith that disclosure
is required to protect the
rights, property, safety or
security of ElectroMiami, our
visitors or the public, or to
respond to an emergency.
In the
event that we sell or
otherwise transfer to a third
party assets related either
(a) to the Site or (b) to one
or more of our businesses,
divisions or affiliated
companies, we reserve the
right to also transfer any and
all information (including any
PII) associated with the Site
and/or any business, division
or affiliated company to such
third party. However, all PII
transferred to such third
party shall be transferred
subject to the usage
restrictions contained in
ElectroMiami’s privacy policy.
Please note that we are not
responsible for retracting
your PII from any third
parties with whom we have
shared your information
pursuant to the terms of this
Policy.
Marketing Communications:
Opting Out
When you provide
PII to us, including when
registering to receive email
newsletters, catalog
subscriptions or other
information, or to make a
purchase, ElectroMiami
provides you with the
opportunity to opt-out of
having your information used
for marketing communications.
Unless you have opted out of
receiving such communications,
ElectroMiami may use your PII
to forward you, via email or
mail, advertisements
concerning ElectroMiami
products, services, special
promotions, surveys or other
opportunities from
ElectroMiami that we think may
be of interest to you. Such
email advertisements may also
concern third party companies’
products and services,
including companies in
industries such as hardware
and software, and other
providers of the types of
products that are sold or
featured on the Site.
ElectroMiami has
partnered with third parties
to offer our customers and
Site visitors a variety of
products and services. Other
than as set forth herein, we
will not sell or lease your
email address to third party
advertisers to solicit you
directly. However ElectroMiami
may share PII (such as your
physical mailing address - but
not your email address) with
our marketing partners in
order for them to offer you
additional products and
services that ElectroMiami
believes may be of interest to
you. Although we only work
with third parties whom we
believe to be reputable, our
marketing partners may have
different privacy policies and
practices than ElectroMiami.
We encourage you to review our
marketing partners’ privacy
policies to further understand
their procedures for
collecting, using and
disclosing your information.
We are not responsible for the
privacy practices of our
marketing partners or any
other third parties. If you
decide that you would like to
discontinue receiving
promotional materials from
these or any third parties,
please contact them directly.
Should you wish to
change your preferences
regarding the information that
you receive from ElectroMiami
or its affiliates, or would
prefer that we not share PII
with our marketing partners,
please refer to the paragraph
below entitled
“Correcting/Updating Your
Personal Information and
Preferences.” Please note that
we are not responsible for
retracting your PII from any
third parties with whom we
have shared your information
pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Policy.
Cookies
Upon visiting our
Site we will assign you a
unique ID in the form of a
"cookie". A cookie is a piece
of information that our server
places on your computer’s hard
drive, which ElectroMiami may
associate with your PII when
you log on to the site.
Cookies are used for such
purposes as facilitating and
personalizing your shopping
and ordering experience,
keeping track of your shopping
basket during your visit,
helping diagnose problems with
our server, and administering
our Site. We may use the
information collected through
cookies for marketing purposes
to inform you of special
offers, better understand your
needs or answer your
questions.
NOTE: You can control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web
browser, and you may remove
them from your computer at any
time at your discretion.
Web
Beacons
Some ElectroMiami
Web pages and HTML-formatted
e-mail newsletters may use Web
beacons to compile aggregate
statistics about website
usage. A Web beacon is an
electronic image, often called
a single-pixel (1x1) or clear
GIF, that is ordinarily not
visible to the site visitor.
Web beacons can recognize
certain types of information
on a visitor's computer, such
as a visitor's cookie number,
time and date of a page or
image view, and a description
of the page where the Web
beacon is placed. When used in
an e-mail, they can tell us
whether an e-mail has been
opened.
How We
Protect Your Personal
Information
To help ensure the
confidentiality of your PII,
ElectroMiami seeks to use
security technology and
procedures, which are reviewed
periodically. We use
encryption technology and
Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”)
in all areas where your
personal and account
information is required. This
means that the personal
information you submit to us
via our Site is encrypted by
your computer, and then
decrypted again on our side,
discouraging others from
accessing your private
information during
transmission. If your browser
does not support SSL, or if
you are unable to establish a
secure connection due to a
company firewall, please call
us at (305) 847-1540 to place
your order by phone.
In addition, your personal,
account information, and
transaction history are kept
behind our firewall.
Correcting/Updating Your
Personal Information and
Preferences
If you would like
to have your PII removed from
ElectroMiami’s databases, or
to make changes to your PII or
to your preferences regarding
the use of your PII for
marketing purposes, please
click here. We will use
reasonable efforts to comply
with your request. Please note
that we may need to contact
you in order to be sure that
we are updating the
appropriate information. When
requesting that PII be updated
or that your preferences be
changed, please keep in mind
that until the change is
implemented, you may still
receive email and/or physical
mailings from us. Furthermore,
there will be residual
information that will remain
within ElectroMiami databases,
access logs and other records,
which may contain such PII.
The residual information will
not be used for commercial
purposes; however,
ElectroMiami reserves the
right, from time to time, to
recontact former customers or
visitors to the Site. Please
note that we are not
responsible for retracting
your PII from third parties
with whom we have shared your
information pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this
Policy.
Other
Information We Collect
Information
About Your Computer and Your
Site Activities: When a
visitor comes to our Site we
collect and aggregate
information about the
visitor’s computer (such as
its IP address, operating
system and browser software),
and click-stream information
(such as the address (or
“URL”) of the Web site that
the visitor came from before
visiting our Site, which pages
of the Site were visited, the
order in which they were
visited and which hyperlinks
were clicked) for the purpose
of assessing our Site traffic
and the effectiveness of our
Site content, as well as to
help diagnose problems with
our servers. This data allows
us to improve the quality of
your visit by streamlining
your ability to navigate the
Site, and to develop featured
programs and content that will
be of interest to our
customers and Site visitors.
Aggregated
Information: ElectroMiami
may collect and aggregate
demographic information about
our Site visitors. For
example, we may seek to
aggregate information
regarding the gender make-up,
average age and range of
income levels of Site visitors
in order to better service our
user community. We may use
such information in its
aggregated form without
restriction.
Information
About Corporate and Other
Organizational Customers:
We may collect information
pertaining solely to
corporations, governmental or
educational entities, or other
business or not for profit
entities, such as, for
example, a company's address.
We may use any such corporate
information without
restriction. In an effort to
better support our customers
by delivering more relevant
marketing communications,
ElectroMiami will, on
occasion, purchase third party
information about businesses
and other entities that are
our customers. The company
information we purchase may
include number of employees,
or annual sales volume and
company structure. This is
used to customize such
customers’ online/offline
experience and to supplement
our internal sales information
to better serve you.
Advertisers
ElectroMiami may
use outside advertising
companies ("Advertisers") to
serve advertisements on the
Site. Please be advised that
such Advertisers may use
cookies or other technologies
to enable such Advertisers to
record which ads your browser
has seen, and which Site pages
you may have been viewing when
the ads were delivered.
Sweepstakes and Promotions
We may from time
to time offer sweepstakes,
contests, or other similar
promotions on the Site.
Additional PII may be required
in order to participate in
such promotions, so that we
may, for example, verify
entrants' eligibility and
identity and notify winners.
Participation in such
promotions is completely
voluntary. If and when we
sponsor such promotions, we
will post relevant privacy
information in the respective
"official rules" and/or
registration areas for such
promotions. That privacy
information, to the extent it
conflicts with this Policy,
will govern that particular
sweepstakes, contest or
promotion—please remember to
read it carefully.
Other companies
may offer sweepstakes,
contests or similar promotions
through our Site, including
through the Rebates & Coupons
page. ElectroMiami is not
responsible for any such
promotions offered by third
parties. Please read all
related terms and conditions
carefully, or contact the
applicable third party for
more information. The
collection and use of personal
information in connection with
such promotions is governed by
such third party’s privacy
policy, and not by the
policies of ElectroMiami.
Co-branded Sites: Links to
Other Sites
The Site offers
certain features that are
provided and/or hosted by
third parties, but that may be
presented on pages displaying
ElectroMiami’s branding. For
example, ElectroMiami-branded
pages featuring investor
relations information about
ElectroMiami may be created
and operated by a third party
data provider specializing in
such information. The Site may
also contain links to other
Web sites, or other affiliated
sites (e.g., event sponsors,
or companies offering rebates
or other promotions through
our Rebates & Coupons page).
We are not responsible for the
privacy practices or the
content of any such Web sites,
including such sites’ use of
any information (such as IP
number, browser type or
operating system) collected
when visitors to the Site
click through links to those
sites. Even though such
information might not identify
you personally, we strongly
encourage you to become
familiar with the privacy
practices of any third party
sites.
Online
vs. Offline Practices
Please note that
this Policy applies solely to
our online
information-gathering and
dissemination practices in
connection with the Site, and
does not apply to any of our
practices conducted offline
other than as expressly set
forth in this Policy.
