 Internet Privacy Statement:

I recognize that privacy is an important issue, and I understand that you are concerned about the security and privacy of your personal information. In order to demonstrate my commitment to fostering and maintaining strong customer relationships, I have created this Internet Privacy Statement to describe the manner in which I use and protect the information I receive from and about you. This Internet Privacy Statement describes my practices concerning the collecting and use of information gathered from or about my online visitors and registered users.

As a Suwannee-Trader.com web site visitor, it is your right to know what information I need to collect, why I need it, how I protect it and how I use it. On some sections of my web sites, I collect information that you voluntarily provide in order for me to provide you with services and products, process transactions that you request and provide customer service. I may also use the personal information that we collect for other business purposes such as to better understand customer needs, enhance customer relationships, make appropriate offers or facilitate third party offers that may be of interest to you.

The information covered by this Privacy Statement
This Internet Privacy Statement applies only to the personally identifiable information that is collected on the web sites where this Privacy Statement is posted, and does not apply to any other information collected by myself and/or the Matrim Organization and its partners through any other means.

The types of information we may collect:

Information you provide to us
A. Requests for Information. When you request additional information related to our products or services, we may request your name and contact information such as street address, telephone number and email address.

B. Contacting Us. When you send us an email from one of our web sites with comments or questions, we may retain information such as the content, your email address, our response and the text of any follow-up questions you may have. This information may also be used to measure how effectively we are able to address customer concerns, to personalize your experience, for marketing of future products and to improve our products and services.

C. Online Surveys. From time to time, we may conduct online surveys to better understand the effectiveness of our web sites. our products, or our performance in providing services. Your participation in these surveys is voluntary.

D. Electronic Postcards. Occasionally, we may offer a feature that allows you to send an electronic postcard or otherwise share a message with a friend from our web sites. If you choose to do so, we will ask you for your name and email address, and the recipient's name and email address, along with the text of any message you choose to include. As the sender of this email, your address will be retained. The recipient’s email address will not be retained or used for any other purpose unless they authorize us to do so.

Information we collect using technology
We use technology to collect information in order to make your experience at our web sites more enjoyable, and so that we can provide you with enhanced products and services. For example, we may automatically track and collect your IP address, domain server, the type of web browser and computer operating system you are using, and we may use web beacons and cookies to: (i) understand the frequency with which you visit our web sites, (ii) track and understand the manner in which you are using our web sites, (iii) customize content to enhance your visit and the services we provide on our web sites, (iv) offer you targeted messages, advertisements and offers; (v) send you targeted emails if you have provided us with your email address, and (vi) if you have registered for Suwannee-Trader.com products or services, to tailor your personal preferences.

Cookies are bits of data that a web site sends to your computer’s web browser and operating system. They are stored on your computer hard drive to identify you or your preferences when you return to that web site. For example, by storing cookies on your hard drive, you'll return to a specific web site with the same settings you used on a previous visit. There are two types of cookies. Temporary cookies are designed to stay on your computer only while you are visiting our web sites. Non-expiring cookies are placed on the hard drive in your computer and allow us to collect information such as: date and time of visits, time spent on the web site, and pages viewed while on the web site. We may place both temporary and non-expiring cookies on your computer. Cookies can also store personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, home or work address or telephone number. You can choose whether to accept or deny cookies by changing the privacy settings on your web browser. In fact, your web browser’s privacy settings can be configured to specify how you want the web browser to handle cookies from individual web sites or all web sites. Please keep in mind that most computers are initially configured to accept cookies. Also note that if you turn cookies off, some of our services may not function properly.

The pages of our web sites contain images that may allow us or a third party service provider to count page views or to collect other anonymous data. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon. Web beacons are typically very small, but their presence can be easily seen within Internet Explorer by clicking on "View" and then on "Source." Web beacons are small in order to minimize both their display and their loading time. Our web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor or share any personal information about our web site visitors; they are merely a technique we may use to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics about the usage of our web sites.

For tracking purposes, we may use web beacons on our web sites along with other technical methods. We may also use these technical methods in emails that we send to track whether the emails have been opened or if links contained therein have been clicked. We may employ a third party service that collects data remotely through the use of web beacons. This service then returns the completely anonymous data to us as site traffic reports.

Information we collect from third parties
We may supplement, improve and/or enhance personally identifiable information that we collect from you with other information that we obtain from third parties and our affiliates. In addition, we may obtain information about individuals who are not yet our customers or users of our web sites. Moreover, when we associate information that we obtain from third parties or affiliates with personally identifiable information that we have collected under this Privacy Statement, we will treat the acquired information the same as the information that we collected ourselves, and, except as permitted by this Privacy Statement, we will not share the information with third parties.

How we use and share your information:

We may share your information with our affiliates, partners, and service providers
We may share your information, in whole or in part, with our affiliates and business partners in order to provide products and services to you, or to send you promotional materials about our products and services. We may share your information, in whole or in part, with the following third party service providers: (A) companies that provide marketing and sales services on our behalf, (B) companies that process and service your accounts, and (C) companies that help us protect and secure your information and the confidentiality of our records. Occasionally, we may partner with other companies to provide co-sponsored or co-branded promotions, products and services and may share your information with our co-sponsor.

Other circumstances in which we may share your information
We may also share your information when we suspect criminal or fraudulent activity, and when we are required by law such as when we receive a subpoena or a court order. We may also share your information in the event that we sell a particular line of business or function.
