Privacy Policy

Protecting the privacy of customers and visitors to PC-3P Online's Website (pcprivacycentral.com) is an important part of our commitment to meet your privacy needs. We believe that it is our responsibility to inform you of the data that we gather and how it is used and safeguarded. Any information collected by our site is held securely and confidentially by us and never sold, released, reused, rented, loaned or disclosed.

Information Collected

No Web Logs - Unlike many other sites, we do not use web logs to gather data about you or your computer.

Cookies - Visitors who click on links to download or buy our products receive a harmless text cookie on their computer. Cookies are used to identify customers referred from our site and to apply appropriate purchase discounts (if any) when they return to buy products at a later time. Cookies also allow those affiliate service companies (they process and fill orders) and software developers with whom we do business, to track such activity for the purpose of filling orders, billing and payment of commissions for services that we render. If you manage your cookies, we respectfully request and recommend that you DO NOT BLOCK them. Internet Explorer users, please open Help, search for the "Cookies" topic and read it. A Privacy Setting at the Medium level provides sufficient protection for your computer while accepting legitimate cookies. Mozilla FireFox users please click on Tools/Options and then on the Privacy icon. Make sure that "Accept cookies from sites" has a check mark. Then in the "Keep until" text box choose either "they expire", or "ask me every time".

Thank You!

Counters - When you access certain pages at our site a counter records your visits and a numerical report is generated. The counters collect no personally identifiable information. The report allows us to understand volume trends with regard to page preferences and products that we market, so that we may better meet customer needs and improve our site and services to you.

Newsletter - When you sign up to receive the PC-3P Online Privacy Newsletters (if one is offered) you are asked to provide an e-mail address and we also require or request other personally identifiable information such as age, education, marital status and so on. You are not obligated to provide all information, but whatever other information you do volunteer is used only in aggregate form for statistical purposes to better understand customer needs.

Problem Reporting - Our site offers a feedback mechanism that allows visitors/ customers to contact our customer service and technical support area for help in solving computer privacy and Internet security problems. The e-mail addresses provided by you in that process are only used for the purpose of sending responses to your inquiries. The addresses and problem information received are deleted from our system when the problem has been satisfactorily resolved. In most cases, that is within twenty four to forty eight hours. E-mail addresses that we receive in this manner are never used for promotional mailings or for the newsletter publication. This information is gathered and reported to us by Sales and Marketing Technologies, the company that provides us with web hosting and other marketing services.

Recommend This Site - From time to time we might offer an e-mail notification service that allows you to recommend our site to others. This service is provided to us by an outside entity. Our privacy policy does not cover that organization and use of their service does not imply endorsement of their privacy practices.

Opt-Out Option

Should you request to receive our newsletter, the option to opt-out of receiving it, or receiving any communications from us will always be made available.

E-mail Addresses

If you contact our service support area, in some cases, where we are unable to satisfactorily resolve your problem, your e-mail address is given to the software developer's support personnel. Sharing your address in this case is necessary so that they can contact you directly to solve your problem. We do not, under any other circumstances, pass on your e-mail address to other companies, nor do we support unsolicited commercial e-mail. We consider unsolicited e-mail to be "spam", that is illegal and an unwanted, brazen assault on your privacy!

Links to Other Sites

Our site contains links to other related sites (the software developers that we represent, other helpful privacy sites, the affiliate service companies mentioned previously, and others that may appear throughout our site. These sites may request personal information from you, but be aware that they are not covered by this privacy policy. PC-3P Online is not responsible for the content of those web sites or their privacy practices. A link from our web site to another web site does not indicate our endorsement of their services or policies.

Disclosure of Information

We reserve the right to disclose personal information under the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the legal process, to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of PC-3P Online, our customers, or the public.

The PC-3P Online Privacy Policy may change from time to time as our web site and services change, or as privacy law dictates. When that occurs, the changes will be posted here within a revised policy. If you have any question about our privacy policy please use the email feedback form provided in our Support section.
