What types of information does RamCity collect from me?
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, credit card information and password ("Personally Identifiable Information"). We may collect Personally Identifiable Information from you when you (a) make a purchase from our web site, (b) voluntarily provide it when you use the Site, enter a prize draw or special competition promotion (c) or (d) provide it when you communicate with us.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not identify you as an individual ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information"). Non-Personally Identifiable Information includes information such as your browser type, the URL of the previous Web site you visited, the Web pages and advertisements you view or select, and the types of services you use. Non-Personally Identifiable Information also includes "Aggregate Information," which is described below in the section titled "How Do We Use Non-Personally Identifiable Information?" We may automatically collect certain types of Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you when you use the Site. We may also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you that you voluntarily provide (such as information included in response to a questionnaire or survey).
Cookies
A cookie is a message that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies contain Personally Identifiable Information, such as your email address. We may use cookies to (a) store your password if you're one of our registered users, so you don't have to enter it each time you log on and (b) keep track of which shopping cart belongs to you when you shop at our Web site. Often we use third-party services to help us measure the effectiveness of our Web site. These companies may place third-party cookies on your hard drive to help us analyze the traffic on our Web site and better meet our customers' needs. This does not give RamCity or any other company access to your personal information or other information on your computer. We do not track or store any personally identifiable information in third-party cookies. If you are concerned, you can set your browser to decline third-party cookies, or you can delete these cookies from your hard drive, but this may prevent you from enjoying the full experience of our website.
IP Address
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer automatically when you use the Internet. We may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration, server problem diagnosis and to compile aggregate information (such as how many visitors logged on to the Site). When you visit a particular Web page on the Site, our servers log your IP address. Your IP address is not linked to your Personally Identifiable Information.
How does RamCity collect this information?
Registration and Order Forms
If you choose to register with RamCity or to place an order with us, we may ask that you provide us with contact information (first and last name, e-mail address and telephone number), financial information (account or credit card numbers), demographic information (address, age, or income level), and information about where you learned of our products and information about your intended use of our products. We do not purge customer information on a regular basis, so information you provide us will remain in our systems for an indefinite amount of time. We may use your contact information to send you information about us and to contact you when necessary. If you do not want to receive any mailings from us, then you can simply use the 'unsubscribe' link which is provided at the bottom of every email communication we send out.
Financial information is used only to bill you for products. Demographic information may be used to tailor your experience at our sites, showing you information that we think you might be interested in, and presenting information according to your preferences. We may use demographic information to develop summary — but not individual — reports for our advertisers so that they may determine how effective their advertising investments are. We never tell our advertisers who it was that saw or clicked on their advertisements, unless you have specifically told us that this is acceptable. In addition, our sales and marketing departments may also use demographic information, information about where you learned of our products and information about your intended use of our products to improve our advertising and marketing efforts and to measure interest in our products. We may use unique identifiers to verify our resellers and customers and to allow customers to identify themselves to us.
Surveys, Contests, and Prize Draws
RamCity may invite you to participate in online surveys, contests or prize draws. Participation is never required. If you choose to participate, you may be asked to disclose contact and demographic information as well as additional information about you and/or your company. We may use this information to send you information about our company, contact you when necessary, tailor your experience at our site, display information according to your preferences and improve our Web sites, products and advertising. If you do not want to receive any mailings from us, then you can simply use the 'unsubscribe' link which is provided at the bottom of every email communication we send out. In some instances information collected may be provided to a third-party service provider who manages the application(s) or service delivery platform used to manage the survey, contest, or prize draw. If this is the case, then this service provider will be clearly identified on the form, and a link to their privacy policy also shown. This information may also be shared with our advertisers on a summary, not individual, basis.
