BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO
THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. Accordingly, please review the
following carefully so that you understand our privacy practices
in regards to:
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact
via the contact form located here.
Policy for Minors:
iPower cares about the safety of children. Children under
13 are not allowed to register with our website or to participate
in public posting areas on our site. As a reminder, 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.
Information We Collect:
Generally, the information we gather on our website falls into two
categories: (1) information you supply when you sign up for our
product offerings, participate in sweepstakes, contests, surveys
and promotions, or send us correspondence, and (2) tracking information
collected as you navigate through our site. Third-party providers
featured on or linked to our website, such as vendors of products
and services offered through our site, may gather the same kinds
of information about you.
Personally Identifiable Information:
We may ask you for personal information when you sign up for products
and/or services, complete a survey, or report a problem with our
site. Generally, we use this information to communicate with you,
process your orders and to help improve our site.
From time to time, we also may offer contests or other promotions
involving marketing or advertising partners. If you choose to participate
in one of these contests or promotions, you'll have to provide some
information about yourself (such as name, address, and email address).
Generally, we use this information to verify eligibility and to
notify winners. We may share this information with co-sponsors of
the contest or other promotional partners, but we will attempt to
identify that another party is involved. We don't control these
third parties' privacy practices, and our Privacy Policy does not
apply to their collection and use of personal information. We urge
you to review their privacy policies and learn how they will use
the information before participating. If you don't want us to collect
the information requested in the promotion, or to provide it to
our co-sponsors or partners, please do not participate in the contest
or promotion.
Aggregate Information:
To help us serve your needs better, we use "cookies" to
store and sometimes track user information. A cookie is a small
amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and
stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie contains a unique
number that allows our site to identify your computer. The help
function on most browsers contains information on how to set your
browser to notify you before accepting cookies or to disable cookies
entirely. However, if you don't accept cookies, you won't be able
to take advantage of various features on our site that are available
to other visitors. We may allow third party providers, sponsors,
or affiliates to set and access cookies on your computer. Their
use is subject to their own privacy policies.
When you use our site, we may also collect your browser type, access
time, and/or Internet Protocol ("IP") address, and keep
records of this information. 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. Like the IP address,
none of this other information identifies you personally either;
we collect it for aggregate reporting on site activity that we,
and our advertisers, may use. For example, we may want to know how
long the average user spends on our site, which pages or features
get the most attention, and the like. The aggregate information
helps to understand our audience and confirm the value of the advertising
on our website.
How Your Information Will Be Used:
Among our primary goals in collecting information is to provide
you with a customized experience when visiting our site and to make
our site more valuable to you. We try to ensure that the banner
advertisements we deliver to you are consistent with your interests.
We may also email you with messages and advertising that we think
may be of interest to you.
To make your online experience more useful and enjoyable, our site
includes links to other websites, and provides access to products
and services offered by third parties. We share with these third
parties such information as is necessary to provide the products
or services. We will not provide your email address to such third
parties unless it's necessary to provide services you have requested,
or to allow you to participate in a co-sponsored promotion. We also
may provide links to other websites, and provide access to products
and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we
do not 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
and practices 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 and practices of the provider of those products or services,
even if it appears that you're on our site throughout the transaction.
The provider's privacy policy and practices 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 homepage or from the pages on
which the products or services are offered, you should contact the
provider directly for more information.
We may disclose your personal information when we believe disclosure
is (i) required by law or necessary for compliance with legal process,
or necessary, in our good faith belief, in order to conform with
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process; (ii) necessary
to enforce our Terms of Service Agreement
or other agreements between you and us; (iii) necessary to protect
the rights, safety or interests of other visitors of our site or
other members of the public; and/or (iv) necessary to protect the
rights or interests of iPower, it’s officers, employees,
directors or divisions, or its partners, sponsors or affiliates.
As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the
event that iPower, or it's divisions, (or a significant portion
of our stock), or our assets or our site (or a significant portion
thereof) is acquired by another company, information on our visitors
would be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose aggregate
information to companies that provide us with financing, technology,
and corporate, financial and legal advice, as well as to our partners
and visitors. You acknowledge and agree to disclosure in each of
the foregoing circumstances.
Security:
The personally identifiable information we collect is securely stored
within our database, and we use standard, industry-wide procedures
such as encryption, firewalls and SSL (Secure Socket Layers) for
protecting your information. 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 to us over
the Internet. And, of course, any information you include in a message
you post to any message board, discussion group, or other public
posting area on our sites is available to anyone with Internet access.
If you don't want people to know your name or email address, for
example, make sure not to include it in any message you post publicly.
Please see our Terms of Service page for more
information related to posting materials on our site, including
our use of such materials.
Unauthorized Use/Hacking:
The I•Power website and system are made available for lawful
activities by authorized users only. Any person using the site without
authority or for any unlawful activity are subject to having his
or her activities monitored, recorded, investigated, examined and/or
disclosed by or to iPower, or it's divisions, and its agents,
and law enforcement. iPower, or it's divisions, may also monitor
and record the activities of authorized users. Any information so
recorded may be disclosed in accordance with the provisions of this
Privacy Policy.
Miscellaneous:
The Internet is an evolving medium. Accordingly, iPower, and
it's divisions, reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy.
If we need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future,
we'll post the changes or an amended Privacy Policy. Your continued
use of the site or any of the services offered therein following
any such posting will constitute your acceptance of all changes.
In addition, by visiting any of our sites, you agree that your visit,
and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy
and our Terms of Service Agreement. Please read both carefully before
using or registering with any of our sites.
