What information we collect and how we may use it
There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better products. For example:
* When you interact with AbtinAndCompany, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences, your credit card information and information about the AbtinAndCompany products you own, such as date of purchase, and the item number.
* We also collect information for marketing research purposes — such as your occupation and location — to gain a better understanding of our customers and thus provide more valuable services and offers.

Your AbtinAndCompany ID and related information
The AbtinAndCompany website allows you to create an “Unique ID” based on your personal information. This convenient service saves time and allows for easier use of our web services. Here’s how it works: You create a personal profile — providing your name, phone number, email address, and in some cases your mailing address and a credit card number at the time of purchase — and choose a password and password hint (such as the month and day of your birth) for security. The system saves your information and assigns you a personal ID — in many cases simply your email address, because it’s unique and easy to remember. The next time you order from the AbtinAndCompany Store all you need to do is enter your AbtinAndCompany ID and password; the system looks up the information it needs to assist you. In addition, if you update the information associated with your AbtinAndCompany ID it will be available for all your transactions with AbtinAndCompany globally.
When we disclose your information
AbtinAndCompany takes your privacy very seriously. AbtinAndCompany does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers.
To help us provide superior service, your personal information may be shared with legal entities within the AbtinAndCompany group globally who will take steps to safeguard it in accordance with AbtinAndCompany privacy policy.
There are also times when it may be advantageous for AbtinAndCompany to make certain personal information about you available to companies that AbtinAndCompany has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for AbtinAndCompany to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with AbtinAndCompany policies, except if we inform you otherwise at the time of collection.
At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

AbtinAndCompany recognizes that parents, guardians, or other adults often purchase our products for family use, including use by minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of the AbtinAndCompany purchaser of the product, and will be treated as such by this privacy policy. If a child under 13 submits personal information to AbtinAndCompany and we learn that that personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
Cookies and other technologies
As is standard practice on many corporate websites, AbtinAndCompany website uses “cookies” and other technologies to help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

In some of our email messages we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the AbtinAndCompany website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.
In addition we use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site.
Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we’re sending only messages that are of interest to our customers. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a customer. We store all of this information in a secure database located in Southern California, in the United States.
