Privacy Policy
Communication Technologies is committed to protecting the privacy
of visitors to this and other Communication Technologies Web sites.
To accomplish this, we have implemented a comprehensive Online Privacy
Policy that governs all Internet-related communications for Communication
Technologies. This policy is subject to change. We will, however, keep
this page updated to make visitors aware of any and all changes. Please
read our policy and let us know what you think. If you have any questions
about this policy, please feel free to contact us at webmaster@comtechnologies.com
Guiding Principles
The following principles guide all of our on-line communications:
1. Unsolicited E-mail. We will never send unsolicited e-mail to you
or other visitors to our Web site. We will use e-mail to respond to
e-mail messages from you, to confirm product or service orders placed
online and to engage in other communication which you have expressly
permitted.
2. We do not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties personal information
gathered online about you without your consent. We will never provide
your e-mail address, or any other personal information gathered from
you during visits to our Web site, to any external organization without
your permission. The only exceptions to this rule are:
a. When we use a fulfillment house to ship a product that you have
purchased. In these circumstances, we require our vendors to adhere
to our policies governing the use and protection of your personal information.
b. As may be required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process
or in the case of imminent physical harm to you or others.
c. When we use other agents, contractors, or companies to perform services
on our behalf. Under these circumstances, we will ensure that your
personal information is protected consistent with this policy.
Collection of Usage Data
Our servers automatically gather information about which sites you
visit on the Internet as well as which particular pages of our Site
you have visited. We use that information solely to evaluate the popularity
of certain pages or sections of our Site in order to improve customer
satisfaction, internal marketing analysis, and for the other purposes
stated above.
Account Information
We honor requests from you to correct your account information (for
example, your name, address, or billing information).
What information do we gather and how is it used?
1. Generic Data. When you visit our Web site, we log general data,
including your domain name (e.g., aol.com,), the name of the Web page
from which you entered our Site, which pages you visit on our Site,
and how much time you spend on each page. We use this information to
continually monitor and improve our Web site. Personal Information
That You Choose to Submit. As a visitor to our Web site, you may choose
to send us a question via e-mail, register for a special service, enter
a contest or purchase a product or service on-line. Anytime you submit
personal information for a specific purpose, your information will
be used for that purpose only. Our policy is to explain to you how
your personal information will be used at the time you submit that
information. In many cases, you choose the amount of information you
supply (e.g., when sending us e-mail, you may choose to include only
an e-mail address - not a telephone number or mailing address - for
replies). There may be instances where we require complete information
for a particular activity, but again, it's completely your choice whether
or not to complete the form.
2. Transactional Data. We have the utmost confidence in our ability
to safely and securely process your orders for products and services
over our Web servers. All purchase information is encrypted and secured
to reduce, as much as possible, instances of credit card theft. Information
such as this is used only for the purchase that you have requested.
What about "cookies?"
The term "cookie" refers to files that are transferred from
a Web site to your computer's hard drive. The purpose of cookies is
to enable us to track your activities on our Web site. Cookies help
us remember who you are. They work in the same fashion as the clerk
in a store you visit on a regular basis. The store clerk may not necessarily
know your name, but he or she recognizes that you have been in the
store before and may remember what you usually purchase while you are
in the store. Cookies permit us to gain the same kind of information
about you and enable us to provide you with more efficient and personalized
service. For example, for sites that require registration, a cookie
file can be stored on your computer enabling you to skip the registration
process on subsequent visits. Cookies are also frequently used to track
the progression of a customer engaged in an on-line purchase to ensure
that the transactional information remains intact. Some (usually newer)
versions of Web browsers allow you to decide whether or not to accept
cookie files and some programs notify you when a Web site is about
to deposit a cookie file on your hard drive. If you decide not to accept
cookies, you may not be able to successfully navigate some portions
of a Web site.
You can check your hard drive for cookie files. For PC's, look for "cookies.txt" files
on your hard drive. On a Macintosh, look for " magic cookies." There
are software programs available ("cookie cutters" and "anonymizers")
that allow you to selectively edit cookie files. Communication Technologies
uses cookie files for online purchasing and the customized presentation
of Web pages. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your
computer that was not originally sent in the cookie. We hope the above
information addresses any concerns you may have had regarding privacy
issues while using our Web site. Again, we encourage you to contact
us at webmaster@comtechnologies.com with any additional questions you
have in this regard.

Specifically, European Union Nationals may have rights under the European

No delay or omission by Communication Technologies to exercise any
