Privacy Notice

Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us.

Any & everything that you share with us will remain strictly private - we do not share or sell information to third parties, nor use your personal information for any reason other than your intended use.

General Privacy Information
ChinSourcer contains links to partners, and third party Internet sites and services that may collect data in connection with sweepstakes, promotions, e-commerce, etc. 
They each have separate privacy and data collection practices; independent of ChinSourcer and ChinSourcer has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information on any online service or website - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. 
In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Further, while we strive to protect your personal information, ChinSourcer cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

Use of Information
All of the information ChinSourcer collects, both what you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies, is "aggregated" -- meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user. We may use this aggregated information to evaluate which products and services are successful and which ones are not, and in order to evaluate which new services we should make available on ChinSourcer. We may use only the anonymous click stream data to help our advertisers deliver better-targeted advertisements.
ChinSourcer will not disclose any information about any individual without the individual's consent, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process. There may be cases in which some of your personal information may be used by ChinSourcer to target e-commerce promotions and telemarketing activities. In addition, it may be shared with third parties who assist ChinSourcer in producing its Web sites or provide a service to ChinSourcer.com's users.

Registration
Anyone who participates in interactive activities (product purchase, membership program, product review) on ChinSourcer.com may be asked to register for a free guest ID and password or to complete subscription registration for a member ID and password. 
We use customer contact information from this registration form to send the user information about our company and promotional material. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. 
The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary for customer service reasons. Unique identifiers, such as member ID and passwords, are collected to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a member ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. 
Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number lets us keep track of "how many" times customers are doing specific things - like visiting our site each month - without really knowing who those customers are. We also use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your member ID.
Additionally, after you've entered your contact and delivery details during a session on our service, you can elect to save that information so you don't have to re-enter it on your return to the site. If you do not want this information to be saved, you must indicate "DO NOT SAVE DETAILS" when prompted.  
If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies maybe necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on ChinSourcer.

Newsletter
We offer a number of free newsletters to share content information about our site with interested users. Users may cancel their free email subscriptions by following the simple instructions at the bottom of each newsletter or email, or at the left column of ChinSourcer.com

ONLINE SECURITY
We protect transactions and customer data with a Go Daddy SSL Certificate, which uses the industry standard encryption protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to keep your account data and order information secure. All your account and transactions data are encrypted up to 256-bit when they are transferred to and from our site, which protects against session hijacking attacks, including Firesheep, etc. You can rest assured that it is safe using our site and shopping with us.
Additionally, we support Paypal as the sole payment method. When you check out, you will be redirected to Paypal.com to make payment. There you can continue enjoying the same advanced encryption protection by Paypal.

Privacy Act
ChinSourcer actively seeks to comply with international privacy laws. We aim to ensure that our privacy policy continually meets all legal requirements in order to maintain and honour your privacy.
