The following is the manner in which TOWLOT.COM
handles information gathered about you from your visit to this web
site ("Site") through our web pages, newsletters, discussion
lists, and announcement lists or when you fill out any of our forms
within this Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the use
or disclosure of information that is collected or obtained by us
through means other than this Site.
By accessing, browsing and/or using this Site,
you acknowledge you have read, understood and agree to be bound
by the policy provided herein. If you do not agree to this policy,
do not use this Site and exit immediately.
TOWLOT.COM
reserves the right to revise this policy at any time without prior
notice. If, at any time, you do not agree with the Privacy Policy
of this Site, or of any subsequent revisions to the Privacy Policy,
immediately discontinue using and accessing this Site. By using
this Site, you agree to be bound by any such revisions and you should
therefore periodically visit this page to determine the then-current
Privacy Policy to which you are bound.
Personally Identifiable
Information
You can browse our Site without entering any personal information
and thereby remain anonymous during your visit. However, there are
cases where we may ask you for personal data. When personally identifiable
information is collected, you will know because you will have to
fill out a form. For example, TOWLOT.COM
may collect names, addresses, email addresses and the like for the
purposes of conducting a survey, communicating with a visitor, or
to provide additional services such as viewing auction lists, subscribing
to newsletters, entering contests or providing requested information
relating to new products, web site updates, or inquiries. Whenever
we request the identity of a visitor or customer, we will clearly
indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested
and then only use the information for the purpose for which it was
obtained. For example, when you enter a contest or other promotion,
we may ask for your name, address, and email address so we can administer
the contest and notify winners. If you choose not to give information
we request, you can still visit most of the Site, but you may be
unable to access certain options, contests, offers, and services.
When you purchase products from us, request
product information or otherwise provide us with personal information,
we may automatically place you on our list to receive e-mail regarding
product updates, special offers, important issues and new products.
If you do not wish to receive these e-mail messages, you can simply
respond by telling us that you do not want to receive any future
communications or contact our Customer Support organization at the
contact points specified below. We maintain a "No-Spam"
policy and once you are on one of our mailing list we will not sell,
rent, trade, or otherwise give your email address to a third party
without your consent, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy
Policy.
In case you change your mind or wish to update
or delete personal information (such as your address), we will endeavor
to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You
can do this by contacting our Customer Support organization at the
contact points specified below.
Collective Data and
Cookies
TOWLOT.COM's Site deposits certain
bits of information called "cookies" in a visitor's computer.
A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from
a web server and is stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie
cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. Cookies are sent
back only to the web site that deposited them when a visitor returns
to that site. We use cookies to identify which areas of our Site
you have visited or used. Cookies can tell us how and when pages
in our Site are visited and by how many people. This technology
does not collect personally identifiable information, only information
that is in aggregate form or that does not otherwise reveal your
identity. With this information, we learn about visitor's browsing
habits within this Site, and we hope to improve our Site with this
technology.

cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies,
your experience at our Site and other web sites may be diminished

Every computer connected to the Internet is
given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol address" also known as the "IP
address." When a visitor requests a page from our Site, our
web servers automatically receive that visitor's domain name and
IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal
about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed
our Site. We use this information to examine our Site traffic, but
do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Our
web servers do not record the email addresses of the visitors to
our Site unless you voluntarily provide that information to us.
Purchasing and/or
Registering
Products or Services If you are purchasing merchandise from TOWLOT.COM
we need to know your personal information, including your name,
email address, mailing address, shipping address, etc. This allows
us to process your transaction and to notify you of your purchase
status. In addition, we may use this information to notify you of
related products and services, however your information will not
be shared or sold to any third parties for any purpose except as
otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. For all purchases, we
use a shopping cart feature that safeguards your order information
using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers.
SSL codes the information transferred between you and the server,
rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.
This type of technology is also called a secure web site or a secure
server. You will know when you are on a secure web site when the
front of the web address has "https" instead of the normal
"http".
