IMPORTANT: BY USING THE SITE AND/OR OFFERINGS AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE, YOU GIVE YOUR CONSENT THAT ALL PERSONAL DATA

TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE SITE.
1. Types of Information We Collect
In order to better provide you with information, services and products, we collect two types of information
about our users: Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Aggregate Information.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you
are. When you engage in certain activities on this Site, such as registering for an account, downloading,
using or purchasing a product or service, submitting content and/or posting content (including scanning part
numbers or entering other information to use online tools), or sending us feedback, we 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 some products or services on the Site requiring payment, you may be asked to provide a credit card
number.
Aggregate Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual,
but may be tied to a specific individual’s usage. We gather certain information about you based upon where
you visit on our Site, usage history of online products and services, and what other sites may have directed
you to us. 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 We Collect and Use Information
We do 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 Site.
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 online or by
telephone or letter; (e) scanning part numbers or entering other data required for use of online site
tools; or (f) 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, and is processed by a third party merchant processor
away from our main Site, which is only accessible by authorized users.
We will primarily use your PII and other Information you submit on the Site to provide product or service
offerings to you. We will also use certain forms of PII or Information submitted on the Site to enhance
the operation of our Site, improve our internal marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze
Site use and product popularity and trends, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our
Site’s content, layout, and services. We may use PII and other submitted Information to deliver information
to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. Finally, we may use your PII to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Use, and this
Privacy Policy.
We may also collect, or our third party advertising partners may collect, certain Aggregate Information.
For example, we may use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer
our Site and to gather demographic information. Our third party advertising partners may also provide us
with aggregate, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked
upon at out Site.
3. Cookies
Depending on how you use our Site, we may store cookies on your computer in order to collect certain
aggregate data about our 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 our Site. We may use cookies to perform tasks such as: monitoring
aggregate site usage metrics, storing and remembering your passwords (if you allow us to do so), storing
account and advertising preferences that you have set, and personalizing the Services we make available
to you. However, we do not use cookies to track your browsing behaviors.
We may also from time to time use an outside advertising partner to display banner advertisements on
our Site. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not
provide any third-party advertising partners with any of your PII or information about your purchases.
We and our third party ad server will 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 our Site in the same manner as above, but we 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 Site may not function
properly if you elect to disable cookies.
4. Release of Information
We will not sell, trade, or rent your PII to others. We do provide some of our product and service
offerings through contractual arrangements made with affiliates, service providers, partners and other
third parties (“Service Partners”). We and our 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,
we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for products
and services purchased on this Site; release your address information to the delivery service to
deliver products that you ordered; and provide order information to third parties that help us provide
customer service.
We will encourage our Service Partners to adopt and promote strong
privacy policies. However, the use
of your PII by our Service Partners is governed the respective
privacy policies of those providers,
and is not subject to our 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 Site, including our Advertising and Service Partners, have their own
privacy policies
and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each Site’s
privacy policy. We are
not responsible for the
policies or practices of third parties.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide PII to the
appropriate governmental authorities. In such cases, we will disclose PII upon receipt of a court
order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law
enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve
the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be
unlawful.
We may also provide Aggregate Information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related
Site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally
Identifiable Information.
5. Updating and Correcting Information
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the PII that you have provided to us. 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 Site. You may also access and correct your personal
information and
privacy preferences by emailing or writing us at:
Sector Supply LC (d/b/a Return2Sector)
2525 Kramer Lane # 102
Austin, TX 78758
Attn: Privacy Compliance Officer
Email: info@sectorsupply.com
Please include your name, address, and/or email address when you contact us.
We encourage 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.
6. User Choices on Collection and Use of Information
We may, from time to time, send you email regarding new products and services that we feel may interest
you. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or
information from us and our partners, we 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 us, you can
“opt-out” by accessing your account online editing your account information to no longer receive such
offers and mailings.
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 our Site may not work properly in your case.
7. Security of Your PII
At our Site you can be assured that your PII is secure, consistent with current industry standards. We
strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized
alteration, disclosure or destruction of your PII. For example:
- We work hard to ensure that the data we collect is reliable, accurate, complete and current. We
encrypt all PII, in order to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is
transmitted to us. 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.
- We limit access to PII only to specific employees, contractors and agents who have a reasonable
need to come into contact with your information. For example, we may provide members of our technical
support team with limited access to your account in order to allow them to troubleshoot problems you
may be having with the Site.
- Additionally, we also employ a number of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect
PII. Our secure servers and our data centers are protected by industry-standard encryption, and our
servers reside behind firewalls and employ high-level password protection.
- 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 we strive 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 us through
this Site cannot be guaranteed.
8. Miscellaneous
You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this Site. Our policy is that we do not
knowingly collect, use or disclose PII about minor visitors.
You should also be aware that when Personally Identifiable Information is voluntarily disclosed (i.e.
your name, email address, etc.) in the discussion forums or other public areas on this Site, 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 our control and this Policy does not apply to such information.
