For session ID cookies, once you close your browser or log out, the cookie terminates and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your computer's hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser's help file contains information and instructions for removing persistent cookies. Session ID cookies may be used by Shelfstore to track user preferences while the user is visiting the website. They also help to minimise load times and save on server processing. Persistent cookies may be used by Shelfstore to store, for example, whetheror not you want your password remembered, or other such information. Cookies used on the Shelfstore Website do not contain credit card or other sensitive information.
Log Files
Like most standard Websites, Shelfstore use log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyse trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the information stored in the Shelfstore log files, including but not limited to IP addresses, is linked to personally identifiable information.
How Shelfstore uses this information
Shelfstore may use the personally identifiable information collected by Shelfstore to contact customers regarding products and services offered by Shelfstore and, to the extent the User has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. Shelfstore may also use this information for research purposes regarding the effectiveness of Website services, marketing, advertising and sales efforts. Shelfstore will not in any way share this information with a third party either for free or by selling it, unless you specifically authorise such disclosures.
Disclosure of Information
Shelfstore may also disclose aggregate, anonymous, data based on information collected from Users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, statistical information only will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept strictly confidential. In case Shelfstore is sold, the information collected from users may be transferred to the new owners.
Shelfstore may from time to time engage third parties, including its own subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to preserve, analyse or otherwise store or manipulate data received by Shelfstore from its customers. In all such cases, such third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care as Shelfstore and they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.
Special Offers and Updates
Shelfstore customers and users will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and possibly a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of users, Shelfstore presents the option to not receive these types of communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement, if, for instance, a service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, however, these communications are not promotional in nature.
Legal Disclaimer
Though every effort is made to preserve your privacy, Shelfstore may need to disclose personal information when required to by law. If it is deemed necessary that such action needs to be taken, Shelfstore will comply with judicial proceedings should a court order or legal process be served on Shelfstore.
