ReplicaBicycles.com Privacy Policy
ReplicaBicycles.com is committed to respecting your
privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection
and management of personally identifiable information
you share with us (the phrases "personally identifiable
information" or "personal information"
mean any information by which you can be identified,
such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.).
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you
what personally identifiable information or personal
information we may collect from you when you visit our
web site, how we use such information, and the choices
you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review
and correct, the information. This policy applies only
to users accessing our web site from the United States.
As a part of our commitment to your privacy, ReplicaBicycles.com
supports and adheres to the guidelines and practices
adopted by the Direct Marketing Association's "Privacy
Promise to American Consumers." We have agreed
to (1) provide customers with notice of their ability
to opt out of information rental, sale or exchange with
other marketers; (2) honor customers' requests not to
share their information with other marketers; and (3)
honor customers' requests not to receive mail, telephone
or other solicitations from ReplicaBicycles.com.
Collecting Information About You
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information
about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address
from which people visit us and analyze this data for
trends and statistics, but individual users will remain
anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times (such as when you order a product,
subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs,
or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions,
etc.) at which we ask you to provide certain information
about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing
address, telephone number, email address, credit card
information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal
interests, etc. We also maintain a record of your online
product purchases. Whether or not to provide such information
is completely your own choice. But if you choose not
to provide the information we request, you may be unable
to purchase products, or access certain services, offers
and content on our web site.
Using Information About You
We use the personally identifiable information you provide
for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking
your order, subscription or registration, analyzing
trends and statistics, informing you of our new products,
services and offers, etc. From time to time we might
establish a business relationship with other persons
or entities that we deem trustworthy and whose privacy
policies are consistent with ours. These are known as
our Select Partners. In such cases we might share information,
including personally identifiable information about
you, that will enable such persons or entities to contact
you regarding products and services that may be of interest
to you.
To serve you better, we may combine information you
give us online, in our stores or through our catalogs.
We use that combined information to enhance and personalize
your shopping experience with us, and to communicate
with you by mail about our products and events that
may be of interest to you.
Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose
your personally identifiable information when we have
reason to believe that it is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against persons or entities
that may be causing injury to you, to ReplicaBicycles.com
or to others. ReplicaBicycles.com may also disclose
your personally identifiable information when we believe
the law requires it.
Editing, Updating, Correcting and Deleting Information
About You
We want to communicate with you only if you want to
hear from us. If you prefer not to receive information
from us or from our Select Partners please let us know
by sending us an email. Please be sure to include your
email address, full name, and specifically what information
you do not want to receive. If you would like to update
or correct your email address, street address or other
personal information with us please contact us the same
way.
Please note that sometimes these requests may take
up to 6-8 weeks to be effective, particularly if we
are removing your name from postal mailings. In addition,
when you purchase from us online or through our catalogs
we may need to contact you via phone, email or mail
to address questions specific to your order, even if
you have opted to not receive communications.
Please remember, if you delete certain information
you may not be able to continue to purchase products
or access other portions of our web site without entering
additional information.
Protecting Children
We at ReplicaBicycles.com take special care to protect
the safety and privacy of children. Our web site is
a general audience site. We do not permit children under
the age of 18 to purchase products on our web site nor
do we permit anyone under the age of 13 to register
with us. We also do not send email correspondence to
anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 13.
Children under the age of 13 should always ask their
parents or guardians for permission before providing
any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents
and guardians to participate in their children's online
activities and use parental control or other web filtering
technology to supervise children's access to the web.
Cookies
Our web site uses "cookies." 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.
Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are,
tailor our products and services to suit your personal
interests, estimate our audience size, assist our online
merchants to track visits to and sales at their stores
and to process your order, track your status in our
promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or analyzing
your visiting patterns. You can set your browser to
notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the
chance to decide whether or not to accept it.
Security
We use sophisticated encryption and authentication tools
to protect the security of your personal information
that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to or from
our web site, and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect
its security on our systems.
We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and
not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off
your account and close your browser window when you
have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others
cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing
a computer with someone else or are using a computer
in a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our web site may contain links to web sites operated
and maintained by third parties, over which we have
no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites may
be different from our privacy policy. You access such
linked sites at your own risk. You should always read
the privacy policy of a linked site before disclosing
any personal information on such site.
Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy in whole or
in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on our
web site. Those changes will go into effect on the date
posted in the notice. The new policy will apply to all
current and past users of our web site and will replace
any prior policies, which are inconsistent.
