conditions) disclose your personal

explains the steps we have taken to
secure your personal information and
our address verification guidelines.
Finally, this Privacy Policy explains your

Policy.

This privacy policy applies only to this
Site. This privacy policy does not
necessarily apply to our offline collection
of your personal information. Please see
below for details.

We are not responsible for the content
or privacy procedures practiced by any
site that may be linked to this site(with
or without permission of
NeedleSupply.com)

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Information Collection. We collect
information from you in several different
ways on this Site. One goal in collecting
personal information from you is to
provide an efficient, meaningful, and
customized experience. For example,
we can use your personal information
to:


help make this Site easier for you to use
by not having to enter information
more than once.
help you quickly find information,
products, and services.
help us create content on this Site that
is most relevant to you.
alert you to new information, products,
and services that we offer.

(a)
Ordering. We use PayPal to process all
transactions on this site. When ordering
products, you must complete all billing
information that includes personal
information about you or the business
used for billing purposes. During this
process, you will be prompted to
provide to us certain personal
information, including but not limited to
your name, shipping and billing
address(es), phone number, email
address, and credit card number. In
addition, we may also ask you for your
country of residence and/or your
organization's country of operation, so
we can comply with applicable laws and
regulations, and for your gender. These
kinds of personal information are used
for billing purposes, to fulfill your orders,
to communicate with you about your
order and our site, and for internal
marketing purposes. If we encounter a
problem when processing your order,
we use the personal information to
contact you. In regards to shipping, all
first-time orders are subject to "address
verification." This verification process
includes but is not limited to the
following: Referencing the ship-to
address that you provided us when
ordering with U.S.P.S. address
verification, address verification via UPS
website, Rand McNally, Yahoo maps,
Thomas Bros. maps and guides,
Mapquest etc. This verification is to
streamline our shipping process;
expedite receipt of your product. We
will never willfully share your address(es)
with any third party for any reason
other than to verify that the address
submitted by you is deliverable.

(b)
Email Addresses. Several locations of the
Site permit you to enter your email
address for purposes including but not
limited to: to register for free giveaways;
to request us to notify you when we
offer specials, event information or
news; to sign up for our email
newsletter and special offers. Your
participation in a contest is completely
voluntary, so you have a choice
whether to participate and disclose
information to us. We may post on our
Site the names and comments of
customer feedback.

(c)
Cookies and Other Technology. Like
many sites, this Site employs cookies
and web beacons (also known as clear
GIF technology or "action tags") to
speed your navigation of the Site,
recognize you and your access
privileges, and track your Site usage.
(i)
Cookies are small pieces of information
that are stored as text files by your
Internet browser on your computer's
hard drive. Most Internet browsers are
initially set to accept cookies. You can
set your browser to refuse cookies from
web sites or to remove cookies from
your hard drive, but if you do, you will
not be able to access or use portions of
this Site. We have to use cookies to
enable you to select products, place
them in an online shopping cart, and to
purchase those products. If you do this,
we keep a record of your browsing
activity and purchase. THIS SITE'S
COOKIES DO NOT AND CANNOT
INFILTRATE A USER'S HARD DRIVE TO
GATHER A USER'S CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION. Our cookies are not
"spyware."

(ii)
Web beacons assist in delivering cookies
and help us determine whether a web
page on this Site has been viewed and,
if so, how many times. For example,
any electronic image on this Site, such
as an ad banner, can function as a web
beacon.

(iii)
We may use third-party advertising
companies to help us tailor site content
to users or to serve ads on our behalf.
These companies may employ cookies
and web beacons to measure
advertising effectiveness (such as which
web pages are visited or what products
are purchased and in what amount).
Any information that these third parties
collect via cookies and web beacons is
not linked to any personal information
collected by us.


(d)
Log Files. As is true of most web sites,
the Site server automatically recognizes
the Internet URL from which you access
this Site. We may also log your Internet
protocol ("IP") address, Internet service
provider, and date/time stamp for
system administration, order
verification, internal marketing, and
system troubleshooting purposes. (An
IP address may indicate the location of
your computer on the Internet.)

(e)
Age. We respect children's privacy. We
do not knowingly or intentionally collect
personal information from children
under age 13. Elsewhere on this Site,
you have represented and warranted
that you are either 18 years of age or
using the Site with the supervision of a
parent or guardian. If you are under the
age of 13, please do not submit any
personal information to us, and rely on
a parent or guardian to assist you.

(f)
Product Reviews. You may choose to
submit a product review. If you post a
review, we will ask for your email
address and geographic location. If you
submit a review, your geographic
location will be visible to other users
(your email address will be kept private).
Also, any personally identifiable
information that you submit as part of
the review can be read or used by other
visitors to the Site. We are not
responsible for any personally identifiable
information that you choose to submit
as part of your review. We believe you
can post a helpful review without
disclosing any personal information.



Information Use and Disclosure.
(a)
Internal Use. We use your personal
information to process your order and
provide you with customer service. We
may internally use your personal
information to improve our Site's
content and layout, to improve our
outreach and marketing efforts
(including marketing our services and
products to you), and to determine
general marketplace information about
visitors to this Site.

(b)
Communications with You: We will use
your personal information to
communicate with you about our site
and your orders and deliveries. Also, we
may send you a confirmation email
when you order with us. We may send
you a service-related announcement on
the rare occasions when it is necessary
(for example, if we must temporarily
suspend our service for maintenance.)
Also, you may submit your email
address for reasons such as to sign up
for our email newsletter and special
offers; or to sign up for giveaways. If
you submit your email address, we use
it to deliver the information to you. We
always permit you to unsubscribe or
opt out of future emails (see the opt out
section, below, for more details).
Because we have to communicate with
you about orders that you choose to
place, you cannot opt out of receiving
emails related to your orders.

(c)
External Use. We want to provide you
with excellent service and to offer you a
great selection - we primarily sell
merchandise, not information. We do
not sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise
disclose your specific personal
information or financial information to
anyone, except that:
(i)
As do most catalog and Internet
retailers, we sometimes use others to
perform specific functions on our behalf.
When we disclose information to these
service providers, we disclose
information to help them to perform
their service. For example, in order to
deliver products to you, we must share
some information. We partner with third
parties (such as the U.S. Postal Service,
United Parcel Service, and Federal
Express) to ship products, to ensure
delivery, and so that we can obtain
feedback, improve the quality of our
service, and measure and improve the
quality of the service of the third party.
In the example of shippers, we provide
them some personally identifiable
information such as your name,
shipping address, email, and phone
number.

(ii)
Similarly, to help you buy products and
provide customer service to you, we
must provide your credit card number
to financial-services or institutions such
as credit-card processors and issuers. As
described above, we use PayPal to
process our payments. When we
submit your credit card number for
authorization, we use state-of-the-art
data encryption to protect your
information. (More on this below in Data
Security.)

(iii)
We may be required to disclose such
information in response to requests
from law-enforcement officials
conducting investigations; subpoenas; a
court order; or if we are otherwise
required to disclose such information by
law. We also will release personal
information where disclosure is
necessary to protect our legal rights,
enforce our Terms of Use or other
agreements, or to protect ourselves or
others. For example, we may share
information to reduce the risk of fraud
or if someone uses or attempts to use
our Site for illegal reasons or to commit
fraud.

(iv)
We will not sell (or trade or rent)
personally identifiable information to
other companies as part of our regular
course of business. However, it's
possible that we might acquire or merge
with or be acquired by another
company or that we might dispose of
some or all of our assets. If that
happens, your personal information
may be disclosed to another company,
but that disclosure will be subject to the
Privacy Policy in effect.

(v)
We may share non-personal information
(such as the number of daily visitors to
a particular web page, or the size of an
order placed on a certain date) with
third parties such as advertising
partners. This information does not
directly personally identify you or any
user.



DATA SECURITY
This Site incorporates physical,
electronic, and administrative
procedures to safeguard the
confidentiality of your personal
information, including Secure Sockets
Layer ("SSL") for all financial
transactions through this Site. We use
SSL encryption to protect your
personal information online, and we also
take several steps to protect your
personal information in our facilities.
Access to your personal information is
restricted. Only employees who need
access to your personal information to
perform a specific job are granted
access to your personal information.
Finally, we rely on third-party service
providers for the physical security of
some of our computer hardware. We
believe that their security procedures
are adequate. For example, when you
visit our Site, you access servers that
are kept in a secure physical
environment, behind a locked cage and
an electronic firewall.

While we use industry-standard
precautions to safeguard your personal
information, we cannot guarantee
complete security. 100% complete
security does not presently exist
anywhere online or offline.

OPT OUT/CORRECTIONS
Upon your request, we will (a) correct
or update your personal information;
(b) stop sending emails to your email
address; and/or (c) disable your
account to prevent any future
purchases through that account. You
can make these requests by emailing
your request to info@needlesupply.com

Please do not email your credit-card
number.

OFFLINE COLLECTION, USE &
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
As you might expect from
NeedleSupply.com the majority of
information that we collect is obtained
through our Site, and this Privacy Policy
applies only to that online collection of
personal information. We also collect
information offline, where we also try to
protect the privacy of you personal
information. One example involves
someone calling us to place an order or
to ask questions. When someone calls,
we will ask only for the personal
information we need in order to place
the order or to answer the question.
When we need to store information
(such as order information), we will
enter it into our database through SSL
encryption. (See the Data Security
section above for more information).
Another example involves faxes. If you
fax something to us, we will act upon
the fax and then either store it a locked
repository or we will shred the fax if
there is no need to retain the
information. There are other ways we
could learn of personal information
offline (for example, we suppose
someone could send us a letter
including some return address
information), and this Policy doesn't
discuss or try to predict all of those
methods or uses. As we mentioned, we
primarily sell merchandise, not
information, and we will try to treat
offline collection, uses, and disclosures
consistently with our relevant online
practices.

UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If we change or update this Privacy
Policy, we will post changes and updates
on this Site so that you will always be
aware of what information we collect,
use and disclose. We encourage you to
review this Privacy Policy from time to
time so you will know if the Privacy
Policy has been changed or updated. If
you have any questions about the
Privacy Policy, please write to
