Notice

• General.  In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you (“Personal Information”).  Generally, this information is requested when you contact us for information or place an order for our products/services.  We use your Personal Information for the following primary purposes:

1. To facilitate your orders of our products/services.
2. To make our Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
3. To help you quickly find information on the Site.
4. To alert you to special offers, updated information and other services from our company, affiliates, and business partners.  

• Collected Information. ConnexFM may collect information from you in several different ways including the following:

1. Registration. When you register or sign up for an account, you are required to give certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, and phone number.  Additionally, when you register one of our products that you have purchased, or when one of our sales agents registers a product on your behalf, we may request certain Personal Information.  We use this information to contact you about the products and services on our Site in which you have expressed interest.
2. Order.  If you purchase or download a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you.  You must provide contact information (such as name, e-mail, and address) and, where applicable, financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).  We use this information for billing purposes.  If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. 
3. Requests. When you request information from us, by phone or e-mail, through the Site, or by requesting to join our mailing list, we may collect certain personally identifiable information from you.  We use this information to provide you with information, customer service, or other services related to your request.

5. Correspondence.  If you send us personal correspondence, such as an email or letter, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
6. Links.  The Site may contain links to other sites.  However, please be aware that ConnexFM is not responsible for and cannot control the privacy policies of such other sites.  We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site, and to read the privacy policies of every web site that collects personally identifiable information.  This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Site. 

• Site Usage.  ConnexFM may monitor your activities, preferences, and transactional data (such as your IP address) relating to your use of the Site and/or Services and log this information.  This information may be used to diagnose Site technical problems.  We also use personal and non-personal information in aggregate or statistical form to improve our products, services and procedures.  This means that information from many persons and/or web site visits is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular person.  For example, we track how many people have expressed interest in a particular product and what kinds of web browsers are most often used when visiting our web site.  Among other things, this information helps us determine which of our products and services are successful and which should be changed or discontinued.

• Cookies.  Cookies are data files that are written onto your computer by a website and stay there unless they expire or are removed by you.  Cookies enable us to recognize your computer when you revisit the Site and recall your Site preferences to enhance your experience in using the Site.  ConnexFM uses cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze its traffic.  ConnexFM also shares information about your use of our site with its social media, advertising, and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you have provided to them or that they have collected from your use of their services. You consent to our cookies if you continue to use the ConnexFM site.  Consult your browser Help menu to learn more about how you can configure your browser software to notify you when your computer receives a new cookie.  Note that you may also be able to configure your browser to disable the creation of cookies entirely (although your full interactive use of the Site may be adversely impacted if you do this.)  This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by this Site only.

• Web Beacons.  Web beacons are very small, invisible graphics present on web pages or emails that help us track when the page or email has been accessed.  Some parts of the Site, emails and other files may use web beacons, also known as clear gif technology or action tags.  We do not use web beacons to collect, use or store any Personal Information about you. 
  
  
• Customer Service.  Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide, we may send you a confirmation e-mail to act as a receipt of your purchase.  We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries and to provide the services you request.

 Disclosure of Collected Information

• Information from the Site. ConnexFM will never disclose to non-affiliated third parties without your prior approval, your e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information, that we collect via the Site.  However, we reserve the right to outsource certain activities such as mass mailings, order fulfillment, shipping and credit card processing, on a limited basis, to certain third parties.  In such cases, we strictly limit the information provided to these third parties to the minimum necessary for them to perform the functions for which we have retained them and prohibit them from using the information for any other purpose or retaining it after it is no longer needed.

• Law Enforcement. ConnexFM, however, will cooperate with official law enforcement inquiries, such as fraud investigations and subpoenas, and will disclose your information when necessary to comply with state and federal laws and regulations.

• Disclaimer. We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.  By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmission or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site.

• Children 13 Years of Age and Younger. We follow the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), as we do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age.  The Sites is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.  If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

Security

ConnexFM is committed to ensuring that your ordering information, including your customer information, is protected while you are on the Site.  ConnexFM uses appropriate and reasonable measures to maintain the security of your personal information.  This includes procedures followed by our personnel to prevent data loss or theft, physical security of our servers and information stores and electronic security such as firewalls, password-protected databases and secure connections.

ConnexFM may use certain third parties for services such as advertising, marketing, and order fulfillment.  We only work with third parties whose privacy policies and security practices are equal to or more stringent than our own and who agree to strictly limit their use of the information we provide them to fulfill the functions for which they have been retained.

You should be aware, however, that no data transmitted over the Internet, sent through the mail, or stored on a computer is 100% secure and that we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data while in transmission to us.  Public computers should never be considered secure.  You should never give out personal information on message board, in chat rooms and other publicly viewable locations.

In addition, there exist malicious programs, typically called computer viruses or trojan horses, which can be used to capture information off your computer’s hard drive or while you are entering it into a web form or sending it by email.  You should always use the appropriate anti-virus and personal security technology to protect yourself.  Lastly, if you have been assigned a login ID and/or password for use on a ConnexFM system (for example, a login for our web store to purchase products/services), you should never give out that information to others.
