SECURITY
HerbsPro.com has taken strong measures to protect the
security of your personal information and to ensure that your
choices for its intended use are honored. We take strong precautions
to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or
disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
We guarantee your e-commerce transactions to
be 100% safe and secure. When you place orders or access your
personal account information, you're utilizing a secure server
software SSL, which encrypts your personal information before
it's sent over the Internet. SSL is one of the safest encryption
technologies available.
In addition, your transactions are guaranteed
under the Fair Credit Billing Act. This Act states that your bank
cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 in fraudulent credit
card charges. If your bank does hold you liable for $50.00 or
less, we'll cover your liability provided the unauthorized, fraudulent
use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own
and from purchases made from us over our secure server. In the
event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify
your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules
and procedures.
HerbsPro.com strictly protects the security of
your personal information and honors your choices for its intended
use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized
access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside
the company without your permission, except under conditions explained
above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and
processed in USA or any other country where HerbsPro.com, its
subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting
your information. No one can see or edit your personal information
without knowing your user name and password, so do not share these
with others.
NOTICE TO PARENTS
Parents or guardians: we want to help you guard
your children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children
about safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while
using the Internet.
The HerbsPro.com site does not publish content
that is targeted to children. However, if you are concerned about
your children providing HerbsPro.com any personal information
without your consent, HerbsPro.com offers a Kids account. It allows
parents to give parental consent for the collection, use and sharing
of children’s (ages 12 and under) personal information online.
ENFORCEMENT
If for some reason you believe HerbsPro.com has not adhered to
these principles, please notify us by email at policy@herbspro.com,
and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly.
Be certain the words Privacy Policy are in the Subject line.
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT REGISTRATION
When you buy and install a new product, we may
ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do,
we merge your registration information with any information you've
already left with us (we call that information your personal profile).
If you haven't previously registered with us, we create a personal
profile for you from your product registration information. If
you ever want to review or update that information, you can visit
the Profile Center, click on Update Profile, and edit any of the
Personal Information in your profile. If you haven't already created
a Registration ID, we will ask you to do so. This ensures that
only you can access your information.
CUSTOMER PROFILES
As mentioned above, every registered customer has a unique
personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification
number, which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile.
When you register, we create your profile, assign
a personal identification number, then send this personal identification
number back to your hard drive in the form of a cookie, which
is a very small bit of code. This code is uniquely yours. It is
your passport to seamless travel across www.HerbsPro.com, allowing
you to download free software, order free newsletters, and visit
premium sites without having to fill out registration forms with
information you've already provided. Even if you switch computers,
you won't have to re-register – just use your Registration
ID to identify yourself.
WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE
When you join us, you provide us with your contact
information, including your name and email address. We use this
information to send you updates about your order, questionnaires
to measure your satisfaction with our service and announcements
about new and exciting services that we offer. When you order
from us, we ask for your credit card number and billing address.
We use this information only to bill you for the product(s) you
order at that time. For your convenience, we do save billing information
in case you want to order from us again, but we don't use this
information again without your permission.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide
limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and
delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products
or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration.
We will only provide those companies the information they need
to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose.
HerbsPro.com will disclose your personal information,
without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good
faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on HerbsPro.com
or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of
HerbsPro.com and its family of Websites, and, (c) act in urgent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of HerbsPro.com,
its Websites, or the public.
