PRIVACY POLICY

Bellcomb is committed to maintaining your privacy and the security of personal information you provide us when using our Web site (“Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information received about you when you visit our Site. These are our current internal guidelines, which we provide you as a convenience. Nothing in this policy is a contract.

We may make content or services from other Web sites available to you from links located on our Site. Other Web sites are not subject to our Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each such site to determine how that site protects your privacy.

Personal Information and Site Security

You can navigate and use most of our Site without having to provide us with any information about yourself. If and when we ask for personal information from you on our Site, we will not require you to submit more personal information than we deem necessary for Bellcomb, or business partners acting on the company’s behalf, to respond appropriately to your inquiries. Personal information we collect may include your name, e-mail address, and/or phone number. To enable us to respond to specific requests we may also ask for and collect additional personally identifiable information such as your company name, title, mailing address, and similar information about you, your profession, and your industry.

We do not market, promote, or sell products on our Site for purchase by children. We do not knowingly ask for or collect personal information from visitors to our Site under the age of eighteen.

From time to time we may conduct surveys on our Site or via e-mail. These surveys are entirely voluntary. Participation in them is easily declined. If you choose to participate in such surveys your responses will be treated with the same level of care and commitment to personal privacy as all other personal information we collect from you.

If you purchase products from us online we will collect your credit card number and related information necessary to process and fulfill your order. The information you provide us when purchasing online is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and transmitted using 128-bit encryption.

We may combine information we collect from you on our Site with information that you provide to us in conjunction with your use of our products, services, and Site in order to serve you better.

All personal information we collect from and about you is stored in limited access servers. Bellcomb and any third-party providers with whom we might contract for Web site and/or database hosting services will maintain physical and digital safeguards to protect the security of all such servers and the personally identifiable information stored on them.

We may use the personal information we collect from you in the following ways:

  • for the purposes for which you specifically provided the information, including, but not limited to, responding to general inquiries by e-mail or telephone, fulfilling requests for product samples, or providing proposals;
  • to contact you by e-mail, telephone, regular mail, courier, or other means;
  • to enhance existing features of our Web site or develop new features and services;
  • to alert you to product introductions and upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services Bellcomb might offer.

We automatically collect information from your computer when you visit our Site, including your IP address. This information helps us evaluate how our visitors use and navigate our Site on an aggregate basis, including the number, frequency and length of visits.

Cookies

We may also store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small files sent to your computer by a Web site’s server. A cookie created by one site’s servers can be retrieved only by that site’s servers. Therefore, information in bellcomb.com cookies is not accessible to other sites.

Most Web browsers give you control over cookie files on your computer, by which you are typically able to block, remove, or accept cookies, or receive notification when such files are stored on your computer. Please make yourself aware of the options and methods for this function for your particular Web browser. If you elect to disable the cookies from bellcomb.com you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the features available through our Site.

We will not rent or sell personal information we collect from visitors to our Site or through e-mail. We may use third-party service providers to contact you on our behalf, facilitate some aspects of our Site services, or fulfill sample requests or online orders. These third-party providers may be supplied with or have access to your personally identifiable information, but only for the purpose of providing such services to us or on our behalf. We may disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of bellcomb.com on the Web; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. (Among other things, this means that if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions.) Beyond this, we will not share your personally identifiable information outside of Bellcomb.

Bellcomb may alter or add to this Privacy Policy at our discretion, especially as we add new services to our Site. Please check the Privacy Policy section of our Site from time to time for updates.

If you have questions, comments or concerns about our Privacy Policy you may contact us by regular mail at Bellcomb Technologies Incorporated, 5001 Boone Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55428.
