Aboriginal Connections has created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for this website: www.aboriginalconnections.com.
Information Collection
and Use
Aboriginal Connections is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Aboriginal
Connections collects information from our users at several different
points on our website.
Registration
In order to use or access parts of this web site, a user must first
complete the registration form. During registration a user is required
to give their contact information (such as name and email address).
This information is used to contact the user about the services on our
site for which they have expressed interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and
financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the
user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners
use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.
