IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE.

  1. Information Collected

In order to better provide you with products and services, we may collect two types of information about you: Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Aggregate Information.

  1. Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets Company know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this Website, such as registering for an account, downloading or purchasing a product or service, submitting content and/or posting content in the user forums, or sending Company feedback, Company may ask you to provide certain information about yourself.

Examples of PII may include your first and last name, email address, mailing address (including zip code), employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other identifying information. When ordering products or services on the Website, you may be asked to provide a credit card number.

  1. Aggregate Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Company gathers certain information about you based upon where you visit on the Website and what other sites may have directed you to Company. This information, which is collected in a variety of different ways, is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that points to the site you just came from, which URL you go to after visiting our Site, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.
  2. How Company Collects and Uses Information

Company does not collect any PII about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain PII to us when you elect to use certain products or services available on the Website. These may include: (a) registering for an account on our Site; (b) entering a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from selected third parties; (d) sending us an email message; (e) submitting a form or transmitting other information by telephone or letter; or (e) submitting your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing products and services on our Site.

When processing certain information, such as payment information with affiliated banking institutions or payment processors, we encrypt the transaction, using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, in order to prevent your PII from being stolen or intercepted.

Additionally, your credit card information [is never stored on our servers or is encrypted and stored on a restricted-access database that is away from our main Site and only accessible by authorized users.]

Company may primarily use your PII to provide product or service offerings to you. We will also use certain forms of PII to enhance the operation of the Website, improve internal marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Website use, improve product and service offerings, and customize the Website’s content, layout, and services. Company may also use PII to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. Finally, Company may use your PII to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including the Website Terms and Conditions, and this Privacy Policy.

Company may also collect certain Aggregate Information. For example, Company may use your IP address to diagnose problems with its servers, software, to administer the Website and to gather demographic information. Company’s third-party advertising partners may also provide Company with aggregate, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at its Website.

  • Cookies

Depending on how you use the Website, Company may store cookies on your computer in order to collect certain aggregate data about its users and to customize certain aspects of your specific user experience. A cookie is a small data text file which is stored on your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. Cookies may also include more personalized information, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server, and your first name to welcome you back to the Website. Company may use cookies to perform tasks such as: monitoring aggregate site usage metrics, storing and remembering your passwords (if applicable, and with your consent) storing account and advertising preferences that you have set, and personalizing the Services Company makes available to you. However, Company does not use cookies to track your browsing behaviors.

Company may also use an outside advertising partner to display banner advertisements on the Website. As part of its service, it may place a separate cookie on your computer. Company will not provide any third-party advertising partners with any of your PII or information about your purchases. Company and its third-party ad server may collect and use Aggregate Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner ads on this Website in the same manner as above, but Company will not disclose any PII to them.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some aspects of the Website may not function properly if you elect to disable cookies.

  1. Release of Information

Company will not sell, trade, or rent your PII to others. Company does provide some of our product and service offerings through contractual arrangements made with affiliates, service providers, partners and other third parties (“Service Partners”). Company and its Service Partners may need to use some PII in order to perform tasks between our respective sites, or to deliver products or services to you. For example, Company must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for products and services purchased on this Website; release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered; and provide order information to third parties that help Company provide customer service.

Company will encourage its Service Partners to adopt and promote strong privacy policies. However, the use of your PII by Company’s Service Partners is governed the respective privacy policies of those providers and is not subject to Company’s control. Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other sites accessible through this Website, including Company’s Advertising and Service Partners, have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s privacy policy. Company is not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.

Occasionally, Company may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide PII to the appropriate governmental authorities. In such cases, Company will disclose PII upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. Company will fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use its services for illegal activities. Company reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that Company in good faith believes to be unlawful.

Company may also provide Aggregate Information about its customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related Website information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.

  1. Updating and Correcting Information

Company believes you should have the ability to access and edit the PII that you have provided to it. You may change any of your PII in your account online at any time by linking to your account in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere on this Website. You may also access and correct your personal information and privacy preferences by emailing or writing Company at:

Starco Impex, Inc.

2710 South 11th Street

Beaumont, TX 77701

Email: info@starcoimpex.com.

Please include your name, address, and/or email address when you contact Company. Company encourages you to promptly update your PII if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, some information, such as past transactions, logs of technical support calls, or other information may not be deleted. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups.

  1. User Choices on Collection and Use of Information

Company may, from time to time, send you email regarding new products and services that it feels may interest you. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from Company and its partners, Company may occasionally call or send you direct mail about products and services that may be of interest to you. Only Company (or agents working on behalf of Company and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these solicitations, and only if you have previously indicated that you wish to receive them. If you do not want to receive solicitations from Company, you can “opt-out” by [insert procedure here].

You also have choices with respect to cookies, as described above. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts of this Website may not work properly in your case.

  • Security of PII

Be assured that your PII is secure, consistent with current industry standards. Company strives to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of your PII. For example:

  1. Company encrypts all PII in order to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to Company. We also only keep collected information only for as long as reasonably necessary and use it only for the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements.
  2. Company limits access to PII only to specific employees, contractors and agents who have a reasonable need to interact with your information. For example, Company may provide members of its technical support team with limited access to your account in order to allow them to troubleshoot problems you may be having with the Site.
  3. Additionally, Company also employs a number of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect PII. Company’s secure servers and data centers are protected by industry-standard encryption, and servers reside behind firewalls and employ high-level password protection.
  4. Finally, access by you to your PII is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.

In order to most effectively serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking institutions and processing agents (such as PayPal). They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Company strives to protect your PII, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and Company through this Website cannot be guaranteed.

  • Miscellaneous

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to have Company’s permission to use its Website. Company’s policy is that it does not knowingly collect, use or disclose PII about minor visitors.

You should also be aware that when PII is voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, email address, etc.) in the discussion forums or other public areas on this Website, that information, along with any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages (including unwanted spam messages) from third parties. Such activities are beyond Company’s control and this Policy does not apply to such information. Please consult Company’s Terms and Conditions for Website conduct policies.
