Boro Rock and Mineral Store operates an online shopping website and provides other services (“Services”) designed to deliver the best possible online shopping experience to you, our users. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information we may gather about you, and we appreciate your trust that we will use and share that information carefully and sensibly. We do not share, sell, or rent any of the information collected to any third parties and do not intend to do so in the future.
Passive Information Collected
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site may not work without cookies.
We may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to site visitors, tailor the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, monitor website activity and performance and otherwise administer and improve the site for your use. However, such information is not combined with personally identifiable information collected.
Personal Information You Provide
Boro Rock and Mineral Store may ask you to submit personally identifiable information so that you can benefit from the specified features (such as online purchases, order tracking, creating/updating a rockandmineralstore.com account, submitting a product review and resume submission) or to participate in a particular activity (such as surveys or other promotions). You will be informed what information is required and what information is optional.
Categories of personal information you may provide include name, company, shipping address, billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, order information, account number, recipient’s name and email address (if applicable).
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
We may use information collected from you online to:
- Process, track, fulfill and deliver your order.
- Contact you about the status of your order.
- Learn about your shopping preferences and improve your shopping experience.
- Analyze trends.
- Protect the security and integrity of our website.
- Respond to your inquiries or contact you for other business reasons, if necessary.
- Collect and process your payments.
If you choose to create or update a rockandmineralstore.com account, you may save personal information in that account, to include name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, and credit card information. This option is intended to streamline your shopping experience as it allows us to access your pre-saved information at checkout rather than entering the information for each online order.
Information We Share
We may share your personal information in the following ways:
We contract with other companies to provide certain services, such as shipping, name and address verification, encrypting credit card data as a further measure of securing the data, processing credit card payments, email distribution, market research and promotions management, technical support, and providing comparative performance information relative to our site. We provide these companies with only that information needed in order for them to render the services we requested and they are not entitled to use it for their own marketing or any other purpose.
If you choose to complete a product review, you will submit the review and the personal information that you choose to submit along with your review. Any product review that you submit may be published by us on this website, in printed or television advertisements, or in emails. You may choose what, if any, personal information you elect to submit in your product review, such as your name or a nickname and location. The information you choose to submit as personal identification with your review may be published with your review in the manner described above.
Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information
On rare occasion, we may disclose information upon law enforcement’s request, in response to a court order, government regulations, or when required by law. We may also share information to assist in fraud investigation and protection or as necessary to protect our rights and interests. Boro Rock and Mineral Store may disclose information when legally compelled to do so; in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
