What Personal Information About Customers Does TekHut Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at TekHut. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many or our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as fulfilling orders you place, responding to your request, customizing future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.

You provide most such information when you search, buy, bid, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product; make an order; provide information in My Account (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one email address when shopping with us); communicate with us by phone, email, or otherwise. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone number; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including address and phone number; other people; content of emails to us; and financial information.

Automatic Information:
Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; email address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; cookie number; and products you viewed or searched for.

Email Communications:
To help us make email more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open an email from TekHut if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do no want to receive our email or other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this by un-selecting the Mailing List option on My Account.

Information from Other Sources:
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifies that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as automatic login and permanent shopping carts for storage of items in your cart between visits.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, since cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of TekHut's coolest features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does TekHut Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only with the subsidiaries TekHut controls or as described below.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:
We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at TekHut or sell offerings to you at TekHut. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. You can tell when another business is involved in your transaction, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that business.

Agents:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Promotional Offers:
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of TekHut customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name or address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please un-selecting the Mailing List option on My Account.

Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that TekHut, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of TekHut and Others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law enforcement; or apply our Terms & Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of TekHut, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect your privacy and information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. All online transactions at TekHut are handled with industry-standard 128 bit SSL encryption. When you enter your credit card number into an order form, it is transmitted across the Internet in encrypted (scrambled) form. If anyone tries to intercept your card information while it is in transit between you and our site, all they will see is something resembling this:
lKI)@00248-098asflkjap923*+_OKFk:DSAFJDSFLKj22jkll3**@JLKJddd;AASDa;lkd231==as99201;lkas.
