priority. This notice describes our
privacy policy. By visiting Bowlingindex.com, you are accepting the
practices described in this Privacy Notice.
Overview
Our Internet Bowling Superstore allows you to buy
products, receive special discounts and receive newsletters, e-mails or other
promotional information from us. We
use that information that we collect about you to fulfill your product
purchases and to create a more personalized online experience. This policy
may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.
What Personal Information About Customers
Does Bowlingindex.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us
personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Bowlingindex.com.
Here are the types of information we gather.
- Information You Give Us: In order to
better provide you with numerous products and services, Bowlingindex.com
collects personally identifiable information. This information might include your
name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, email
address, credit card information and product details. With this information,
Bowlingindex.com can fill your orders and better provide you with
personal services. You can choose
not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to
take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you
provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing
future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with
you.
Does Bowlingindex.com Share the Information
It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of
our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.
Ordering
When you order from us, we collect personally
identifiable information from you. If
you order one or more of our products or services, we will collect and
maintain your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping address,
telephone number, product selections, order number and a password. We collect this, and other information, as
disclosed in this Policy, in order to fill your order, to communicate with
you about your order and to send you promotional materials. Before confirming your order, you will have
the opportunity to review your shopping basket and make changes and additions
to the information it contained and these changes will automatically be kept
for future use.
Gift Certificates
If you purchase a gift certificate from our site, you
will give us the recipient’s name and e-mail address if you wish to send the
certificate by e-mail. If you wish to
send a certificate by regular mail, you will give us the name, mailing
information and phone number for the recipient. The recipient information you give us will
only be used to send the gift certificate and for no other purpose.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information
during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
encrypts information you input.
- We reveal only the 1st four digits of your credit
card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire
credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order
processing.
- It is important for you to protect against
unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to
sign off when finished using a shared computer.
What security
precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration
of your information?
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card
transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party
banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to
verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information. Within Bowlingindex.com, your information
is kept on password protected, limited access servers. Wherever possible and applicable, Bowlingindex.com
servers reside behind a corporate firewall that maintains and controls on
access to the system from both our internal network and the Internet.
Children
Bowlingindex.com does not sell products for purchase by
children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are
under 18, you may use Bowlingindex.com only with the involvement of a parent
or guardian.

disputes, and application of the law of the state of California. If you have any concern about privacy at Bowlingindex.com,
please contact us
with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice
and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of
our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you
should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise,
our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you

never materially change our policies and practices to make them less
protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent
of affected customers.
