Customized
Experience
We use technology to
help us deliver customized visitor experiences. At Star Computer Parts, we
primarily use "cookies" to help us determine which service and support
information is appropriate to your machine and to maintain your shopping
experience in our online store. Our use of this technology does not mean that
we automatically know any information about you. We might be able to ascertain
what type of computer you are using, but beyond that, our use of cookies is
designed only to provide you with a better experience when using
www.starcomputerparts.com. Star Computer Parts has no desire or intent to
infringe on your privacy while using the starcomputerparts.com site.
Third-Party Sites
Please be aware
that other web sites that may be accessed through our site may collect
personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of
those third-party web sites linked to Starcomputerparts.com are not covered by
this privacy statement. We generally use the "" symbol to mark links that go
to third-party sites.
You
are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords or any
account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you
may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we strive
to protect your personal information, Star Computer Parts cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at
your own risk.
Children's
Privacy (Age 12 and Under)
Star Computer
Parts takes children's privacy seriously.
Star
Computer Parts does not seek to collect personal information about children
through its Web site. Star Computer Parts does not condition a child's
participation in an activity on the disclosure of more personal information
than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.
If
we become aware that a person submitting personal information to us through
any part of our Web site is a child, we delete the information as soon as we
discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third
parties.
Since
we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we
delete any information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a
child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that
could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of
information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the
information, then we will of course honor that request.
Other Web sites
Star Computer Parts'
Web site contains links to other Web sites that are not operated by Star
Computer Parts. Star Computer Parts is not responsible for the privacy
practices of the Web sites that it does not operate.
