At Pinball Pal, we value the trust of
our customers. To earn your trust, we respect your privacy in handling
personally-identifiable information relating to you and your transactions
with us. This Privacy Statement describes the personally identifiable
information we gather about you, what we do with it, the safeguards we
have in place to protect it, and how you can control our use of it.
What personally
identifiable information does Pinball Pal request?
We collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily
provide to us when you register on the site, place an order or send us a
letter or e-mail. This personally identifiable information may include
your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number,
credit card number and expiration date, and other optional demographic
information.
You may browse our web site without supplying any personally identifiable
information, but we will need to collect personally identifiable
information to process your orders or to send you offers or information
that you request.
What about web site
“cookies”?
In order to use our web site, your computer must accept the use of
cookies, which are small data files that are stored on your computer’s
hard drive. Cookies do not contain personally-identifying information and
do not give us control over your computer. The information that we
store in cookies is used to track your activity at our web site and to
access your individualized settings (such as your online shopping cart) to
make your visit more convenient and to make it unnecessary for you to
re-enter this information when you make return visits to our site.
How does Pinball Pal use
personally identifiable information about me?
The personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us
will be used to process your orders, and may be used to identify you
within our systems. We may use your email address to contact you if we
have questions about your order. We do not send unsolicited email
messages, nor do we share your personally identifiable information with
any others for marketing purposes.
With whom might Pinball Pal share
personally identifiable information about me?
We will not disclose personally-identifiable information about you to
others except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement or as specifically
authorized by you at the time the information is collected. We
contract with third parties to provide specific products or services to
you. For example, we use a credit card company to process credit card
applications, issue credit, verify, bill, and collect payments when you
make a purchase with a credit card, and we use outside service providers
to operate our web site and to send e-mails to customers and prospective
customers. These service providers are provided with only the information
that they need to perform their functions and are not permitted to use or
disclose your personally-identifiable information for other purposes
without your authorization.
We may share personally identifiable information with law enforcement or
other entities as required by law or as we reasonably determine to be
necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, to prevent harm
to persons or property, to fight fraud, or to enforce our web site terms
of use. Personally identifiable information may be transferred as an asset
in connection with a merger or sale (including any transfers made as part
of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our
businesses.

We reserve the right to change our data practices from time to time. The
current Privacy Statement will always be posted online at http://www.pinballpal.com/privacy/
How is my personally
identifiable information protected?
We have implemented numerous safeguards to reasonably and adequately
protect personally-identifiable information.
Our databases are protected by physical, technical, and procedural
measures that restrict information access to authorized persons in
accordance with this Privacy Statement. Our information systems are
maintained behind a software firewall to isolate them from access by other
networks connected to the Internet. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally
identifiable information.
When personally-identifiable information is collected through our web
site, the transmission is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket
Layer (“SSL”) technology and sensitive information such as credit card
numbers or account information is encrypted for further protection. Our
web site is a “Secure Site” recognized by VeriSign, a leading computer
network security company.
If you believe that someone has improperly used personally identifiable
information about you or has made purchases that you did not authorize,
please contact us immediately in one of ways provided below.
How may I contact Pinball Pal?

personally-identifiable information, please contact us at sales@pinballpal.com.
