What Information Do We Collect About Our Customers?

Information collected by Customer Centric is used for three main purposes. First, we collect information to improve the Web Site by determining which of our areas, features and forums are most popular. Second, we may now or in the future collect information to personalize the experience of the users of the Web Site. Finally, we collect information to communicate with you and to inform you about our services. We gather the following types of information:

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web Site or give in any other way (e.g., by telephone). This may include information you provide when you register as a member, engage in transactions, search, contact customer service, or participate in contests, promotions, surveys, forums, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions or other aspects or services offered by us. As a result, you may be supplying us with nonpublic personal information that relates specifically to you and that is not readily available from a public source such as your name, address, phone numbers credit/debit numbers, expiration date and other billing information people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number names and e-mail addresses of friends and other people.

Automatic Information: We automatically receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, as most web sites do, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses suddenlee.com. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis, and it may include the Web Site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you will go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. Other examples of automatic information we may collect are purchase history, products viewed or searched for, visits to certain pages, page interaction information and the phone number you used to call our 800 number. We associate the information we store in cookies to personally identifiable information you submit while on our Web Site. Information Provided by Third Parties: We may obtain certain information of customers from third parties. This may include updated delivery or address information from carriers.

IP Address: Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol”, or IP, address. When a user requests a Web page from the Web Site, our Web servers automatically recognize that user’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about the user other than the IP address from which the user has accessed the Web Site. We may use this information to examine our traffic in the aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of users.

Do We Use Cookies?
From time to time, we and/or our affiliates or advertisers may send a “cookie” to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie, by itself, cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files created by other Web sites. A cookie, by itself, does not damage your system. In addition to the URL and IP addresses of our visitors, cookies may gather the date and time of all visits to our Web Site. We may also track the pages of our Web Site that users viewed during their visit, or track search terms entered on our Web Site by that visitor. This helps us keep track of the number of visitors to our Web Site and allows us to gauge the areas that are of the most interest to our visitors. We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies and other tracking technologies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Web Site in the aggregate. This information is analyzed periodically and is used to gain a broader picture of usage patterns at our Web Site. We may share the non-personally identifiable information gathered through use of cookies with our advertisers and/or business partners, in order to make the Web Site as user-friendly as possible. Further, some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our Web Site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Customer Centric only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. You can choose whether or not to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. If you choose not to accept cookies, your experience on the Web Site may be diminished and some features may not be available or may not work as intended.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect and Do We Share the Information We Receive?

Your account is with Customer Centric, the owner and operator of the Web Site. You can opt-out of direct promotional communications from the Web Site by following the unsubscribe instructions within each communication from that Web Site or emailing CustomerCare@suddenlee.com. We share customer information with third parties only as follows: Promotional Offers: We periodically provide our customers with information about third party products and services we believe will be of interest to you and with opportunities to participate in offers and/or promotions on behalf of other businesses. Your participation in these events may require us to share data with such a business. If you do not want to receive such information or offers, on behalf of third parties or otherwise, please opt-out during registration, email us later CustomerCare@suddenlee.com, or follow the unsubscribe instructions within each communication.

Surveys or Contests: We may provide you with the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our Web Site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information.

We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic, to personalize the Web Site (in the case of anonymous information collected in surveys), and to send participants an email newsletter.

We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests that third-party service provider will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose.

Tell-A-Friend: If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Web Site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the Web Site. Customer Centric stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.

Your friend may contact us at CustomerCare@suddenlee.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Reviews/Share This/Testimonials: When you use "ShareThis" to post to social networking sites or to tell your friends about our Web Site, the information is collected by a third-party site to facilitate your postings.

We will notify users of the Web Site of such a change in ownership or transfer of assets by posting a notice on the Web Site. Bankruptcy: In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used. Therefore, you should know that in such event, your personal information may be treated like any other asset of Customer Centric, and sold, transferred or shared with third parties, or used in ways not contemplated or permitted hereunder, without notice to you or your consent.

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

How Secure Is the Personal Information We Collect?
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. When you enter credit card information on our Web Site, we may store it so that you do not have to re-enter it every time you order, but we encrypt it when storing. While no security system is absolutely foolproof, we are constantly reviewing, refining and upgrading our security technology to protect your privacy. When you open an account with Suddenlee.com, you are issued a password by which to access and secure your account and account information. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your UserID, password and User Account information by utilizing a Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) connection. Accordingly, your UserID, password and User Account information are encrypted using an SSL connection and are not expected to be read in an intelligible form as they travel to the Web Site. You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your UserID, password and User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You agree to: (a) immediately notify Customer Centric of any unauthorized use of your UserID, password and/or User Account, and/or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your User Account at the end of each session. While we provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

We cannot and will not be responsible for any breach of security by any third parties or for any actions of any third parties that receive any of the information that is disclosed to us. The Web Site also links to a wide variety of other web sites and the Web Site may contain advertisements of third parties. We are not and cannot be responsible for the privacy policies of those web sites of third parties or how they treat information about their users. Any information that you post on the Web Site may be viewed by any third party and we are not responsible for the content and/or the accuracy thereof.

Identifying Spoofed, Phishing, and Fraudulent Emails
Some customers may report receiving "spoof" or "phishing" emails that appear to come from our Web Site. These emails ask for sensitive information that could result in fraudulent activity. We will never ask you for sensitive information via email. If you receive an email requesting any personal information, please do NOT proceed with any request, do NOT enter any information, and do NOT click on any link in the email.What do Spoof and Phishing Emails Look Like?Spoof and Phishing emails look as though they come from well-known companies. In reality, they are from someone attempting to commit identity theft. When you look at or open a spoof email in your inbox, it will show the sender as a legitimate email address (such as info@suddenlee.com), but upon further investigation, the email proves to be a complete fabrication. These emails will usually have text and graphics stolen from genuine websites. The content of the email will either ask you to enter your private information (such as suddenlee.com passwords, social security numbers, or credit card numbers), or it may provide a link to direct you to a forged web page or site where an attempt may be made to steal your identity.

If you have questions regarding a suspicious email, please contact us immediately.
