SchoolBasics.com collects personal information and site usage information about you when you visit our website and when you send us information or communications as indicated below.

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION

In order to process orders efficiently, when you register an account on our website we actively collect the following personal information: your name, mailing address, billing address, email address, phone number (including your cell phone number), and the items you have purchased. In addition, when you place an order on our site we will collect your credit card number. Credit card numbers are not stored on our servers. They are encrypted and forwarded to our payment gateway provider (PayPal) in order to process your payment.

 

SITE USAGE INFORMATION

Like most websites, our site automatically collects and uses the data contained in log files. The information in the log files may include your IP addresses (the internet address of your computer), cookies, your ISP (internet service provider), the time you visited the site, and which web pages you visited on the site.

IP addresses assist us in many website operations, like running statistical software that identifies the sections of our site that are most heavily used. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

Cookies store information on your computer in order to improve your web experience. They recognize you and identify your access privileges on SchoolBasics.com. They are typically employed for your convenience, and prevent you from having to repeat actions, such as entering a user name and password. Cookies never contain personal data, and they cannot be accessed remotely by anybody other than SchoolBasics.com. You may set your web browser to decline cookies or notify you when you receive a cookie. If you choose not to accept cookies from our site, you may not be able to take full advantage of the site’s features.

 

INFORMATION SHARING

We will not sell, share, or rent personal information to third parties, and we will not otherwise disclose personal information to third parties, without your permission, except as disclosed in this policy.

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our website. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org.

We may disregard any choices you make regarding privacy of your personal data in response to a judicial process against you or your violation of this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service. We may also take such action to protect or defend the rights or property or safety of SchoolBasics.com users or others. Depending on the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, we may not be allowed to provide notice to you of such action.

In the unlikely event that we merge, sell or otherwise transfer our assets, site or operations, we may disclose or transfer your personal information in connection with such transaction, without notice to you or your consent.

 

SAFEGUARDING YOUR INFORMATION

We have taken precautions, including the deployment of technological resources and the use of firewalls, systems and procedures, to protect the security of your personal information. While no security system is absolutely foolproof, we are constantly reviewing, refining and upgrading our security technology to protect your privacy.

When you submit personal information via our site, such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted and protected by industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with a 128-bit encryption to ensure the highest level of protection. SSL technology takes your order and scrambles or encrypts it to ensure that it cannot be read while being transferred. SSL uses a Digital Certificate to verify who we are and to encrypt and decipher your order so that only we can read it.
