A Wind Of Change Kites : Privacy Policy

AWindOfChange.Com respects the privacy of visitors to our site.   Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand our privacy practices.   If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact Customer Support online.

Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else.   If you're under 13, please don't provide any personally identifying information during your visit to AWindOfChange.Com.

The information gathered by AWindOfChange.Com falls into two categories: (1) information supplied by visitors to the site when they register or initiate transactions, and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through the AWindOfChange.Com site.   Third party providers featured on or linked to by our site, such as vendors of products and services offered through our site, may be gathering the same kinds of information.

The information you provide us during a visit to AWindOfChange.Com helps us to improve the quality and utility of our site.   The more information you share with us, the better we can serve your needs.

When you purchase Kites, Wind Vehicles, Wind socks, accessories, additional services, or any other product from our site, we request the following information on our order form:

Name
Shipping and/or billing address
Credit card number or account number
Phone or fax number
Email address

We need this information to process your order.   If we have trouble processing your order, the contact information you provide is used to get in touch with you.   We also use this contact information to provide you updates regarding service for your account, shipping information, special membership programs, or special promotions.

If you provide us your email address, you will have the opportunity to select to receive our email programs.   From time to time we may send you email about new releases and specials, or offers that we believe will interest you.   If you prefer to not receive these types of offers, you can always change your election by clicking on "Login/Register", which appears on the Customer Support page of our site or just click on the "Login/Register" button on our home page.   You'll need your Member Name and Password to make changes to your account.   If you've forgotten your Password, you may change your password by contacting Customer Support via email.   Of course, we also use your email address to answer any email you send us.   AWindOfChange.Com does not give, rent, sell, borrow, exchange or allow access to your email address or other personal information to any third party or other entity that is not affiliated with AWindOfChange.Com.

To help us tailor our site to the needs and interests of our visitors, we may keep track of the pages visited by our users by placing a small entry in text file, called a cookie, on your hard drive.   The cookie contains an ID number that allows us to track the pages you've visited.   We aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns.   We use this information to improve our site by making it more responsive to the needs of our users.   The help function on most browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie or to disable cookies entirely.   However, if you don't accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of various features on our site that are available to other visitors.

Our web server automatically collects your IP address when you request pages from our server.   Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to you.   Your IP address does not tell us who you are.   We also collect information on the browser software you're using to access our site so we can optimize our site for the most popular browsers.   And, because we like to know how you found our site, we keep track of where you came from.

Our site may include links to other websites, and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control.   When you access another website or purchase products or services or conduct other transactions through our website, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or services.   When you provide information in the course of obtaining products or services through our site, use of any information you provide may be governed by the privacy policy of the provider of those products or services, even if it appears that you're on AWindOfChange.Com pages throughout the transaction.   The provider's privacy policy may differ from ours.   If you can't find the privacy policy of any of our provider partners via a link either from the site's home page or from the pages on which the products or services are offered, you should contact the provider directly for more information.

From time to time, we request information from users via pop-up surveys.   Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary; if you don't want to provide the requested information, just don't respond to the survey.   The information we gather through these surveys will only be used to improve our site.

The information we collect from our visitors is stored within a database we control.   Physical access to the servers on which we store visitor information is restricted.   To protect the privacy of your credit card number and other ordering information, we encrypt this information for transit over the Internet using a Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") connection.   However, as effective as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable.   We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.

Most web browsers allow use of an SSL connection.   If your browser does not support use of an SSL connection, or if you prefer not to send your credit card number over the Internet, you can place your order by calling us directly.   Direct contact numbers can be found on our Customer Service page.

We may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of visitors to our site, the public, or AWindOfChange.Com.   As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets.   In the unlikely event that AWindOfChange.Com or substantially all of its assets are acquired by another company, information on our visitors could be among the transferred assets.

The Web is an evolving medium.   If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll post the new policy promptly.   If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from what was stated at the time it was collected, we will use our best efforts to notify you and give you an opportunity to opt out of the proposed use.   By using AWindOfChange.Com, you agree that your visit to our site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use Policy.
