Privacy Policy:
What information does
Crown Financial Concepts.org collect from
you? In order to better provide you with numerous
products and services, Crown Financial
Concepts.org collects two types of information
about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information
and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary
goal in collecting information from you is to provide
you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience
while using our site.
Personally
Identifiable Information This refers to information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal
information is requested when you order a product or
service, register for a Gift List, enter contests or
sweepstakes, apply for credit, fill out surveys, and
send us feedback. For example, this information might
include your name, billing address, shipping address,
telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other
payment information, and product details. With this
information, Crown Financial Concepts.org can fill
your orders and better provide you with personalized
services.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information This refers to information
that does not by itself identify a specific individual.
We gather certain information about you based upon where
you shop on our site in several ways. This information
is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an
aggregated basis. For example, this information may
include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL")
that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what
browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP")
address. A URL is the global address of documents and
other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is
an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network,
such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use
the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP
address of the destination. In other words, an IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing
web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users to
communicate on the Internet, browse and shop
Where do we
collect information from you and how do we use
it? Our primary goal in collecting personal
information is to provide Crown Financial
Concepts.org visitors with a superior customized
online experience. We use the customer contact
information to fill orders, contact purchasers to inform
them of their order status, to send promotional
information, to enhance the operation of our site and
administer our systems.
Demographic
data also may be collected at our site from third party
advertising servers or content servers, who provide us
with the zip code and area code associated with a
visitor's server, along with pages viewed on our site.
We review the actions of the Crown Financial
Concepts.org visitors on an aggregate basis to
determine customers' preferences. Crown Financial
Concepts.org also does research on our visitors'
demographics, interests, and pages viewed based on the
information provided to us during ordering, a promotion,
from our server log files, from contests, drawings or
surveys. We will use this data to tailor the visitor's
experience at our site, to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site use,
to improve our product offerings, and to customize our
site's content, layout, and services.
We gather
information in the following ways:
Shopping We
collect IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration, to gather broad demographic information,
to enable ads to be served on our site, to report
Non-Personally Identifiable Information to our
advertisers, and to monitor the level of activity on our
site. We collect information from visitors to our site
regarding the URLs they came from, domain types (e.g.,
.com or .org), their IP addresses, the date and time of
their visit or order, the number of visits and orders,
the number of visits per browsing session, the server
type, the operating system and browser type used to come
to the site, the country, state and telephone area code
where their servers are located, the pages and page
titles of our site that visitors viewed during their
visit, whether the visitor's computer is enabled for
Java or cookies, browser language, applications and
plug-ins, and any search terms entered on our site.
Ordering When you order from us, we collect
personally identifiable information from you. If you
order one of our products or services, we will collect
and maintain your name, e-mail address, billing address,
shipping address, telephone number, product selections,
credit card or other payment information, order number,
referring URL, IP address, page you bought from and a
password. We collect this, and other information, as
disclosed in this Policy, in order to fill your order,
to communicate with you about your order and to send you
promotional materials. Before confirming your order, you
will have the opportunity to review the product order
form and make changes and additions to the information
it contained and these changes will be automatically
kept for future use.
Newsletters

and promotional e-mails as a service to our customers.
We will send you newsletters and e-mails periodically
listing current specials and deals. To stop receiving
our newsletter, send an e-mail to us at info@crownfinancialconcepts.org
Contact
Information and Third Party Data If you contact Crown
Financial Concepts.org or our customer service
representatives by telephone, e-mail or letter, we may
keep a record of your correspondence or comments. If you

information in a file specific to you. If you contact us
through our feedback area or by calling one of our
customer service representatives, we may ask for your
name, e-mail address and order information in order to
send you a reply. If other users or third parties send
us correspondence about your activities or purchases on
our site, we may keep the information in a file specific
to you.
Customer
Service We provide customer service. In order to help
you most effectively, we may keep a record of your
correspondence or comments. If you report a problem with
our site, we may collect such information in a file
specific to you.
We also track
customers' traffic patterns throughout their online
session, including which pages, information and
advertisements a customer views while using the site and
what items they place in their basket or purchase. We
use your IP address to diagnose problems with our
servers, software, to administer our site and to gather
demographic information.
We may share
aggregated statistics about pages viewed on our site,
sales and other shopping information with third parties.
Cookies We
use cookies and allow others to use cookies in the
operation of our site.
With whom do we
share your information? Fulfillment: The information
collected by Crown Financial Concepts.org is used
for processing orders, keeping you informed about your
order status, for statistical purposes, for improving
our site and its performance, to serve ads, and to
notify you of products or special offers that may be of
interest to you. We will disclose your Personally
Identifiable Information to third parties to charge your
credit card, fill your order, deliver your order,
provide customer service, provide you with credit and
deliver promotional e-mails to you from Crown Financial
Concepts.org For example, we must release your
credit card information to the card-issuing bank to
confirm payment; and release your address and telephone
information to the delivery service to deliver products
that you ordered.
Other Parties:
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally
Identifiable Information to others without your consent.
We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information
about our customers' sales, traffic patterns, and
related site information to third parties, but these
statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable
Information. We may release account information when we
believe that such release is reasonably necessary to
enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect
the rights, property, and safety of Crown Financial
Concepts.org, our users, or others. If customers do not
pay us for products ordered, we may submit their account
information to a third party collection agency.
Compliance with
Service of Process or Law Enforcement: Occasionally
Crown Financial Concepts.org may be asked by law
enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate
governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally
Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order,
subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation, without prior notice to you. Crown
Financial Concepts.org fully cooperates with law
enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our
services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to
report to law enforcement agencies any activities that
we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
How can you
update or correct your Personally Identifiable
Information? We believe you should have the ability
to access and edit the personal information that you
have provided to us. During the online ordering process
you can review, change, or delete the information that
you have submitted. You may change any of your personal
information in your account online at any time. We
encourage you to promptly update your information if it
changes. You may ask to have the information on your
account deleted or removed; however, because we keep
track of past purchases, you cannot delete information
associated with past purchases. Also, as a security
measure we "back up" the data stored on our systems, and
such prior information cannot be completely removed from
our databases. As a result, you should not expect that
all of your Personally Identifiable Information will be
completely removed from our backed-up databases.
What are your
choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of
your information? Email: We may from time to time
send you e-mail or other communications regarding
current promotions, specials and new additions to the
Crown Financial Concepts.org site. You may
"opt-out," or unsubscribe from our newsletters by
following the unsubscribe instructions in any e-mail you
receive from us, or by sending an e-mail to info@crownfinancialconcepts.org. After doing so, Crown
Financial Concepts.org users will not receive
future communications or mailings unless they open a new
account or enter a contest.
Ad-servers and
other Content Servers: You may also set your browser so
that it will not accept "cookies" to prevent assignment
from the ad server of a unique identifier; however, you
will be unable to shop on our site if you do so.
What security
precautions are in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, or alteration of your information? In order
to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions
and order fulfillment are handled by established third
party banking, processing agents and distribution
institutions. They receive the information needed to
verify and authorize your credit card or other payment
information and to process and ship your order.
When you access
your account information, the information is kept on a
secure server. All of the customer data we collect is
protected against unauthorized access by physical
security means.
