What
information does Drmachines.com collect from
you?
In order to better provide you with numerous products and
services, Drmachines.com collects two types of information about its
visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide
you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.
Personally
Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are.
Personal information is requested when you order a product or service, fill out
surveys, and send us feedback. This information might include your name,
billing address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit
card or other payment information, and product details. With this
information, Drmachines.com may fill your orders and better provide you
with personalized services.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific
individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you spend
your time or what you are looking for on our site in several ways. This
information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated
basis. This information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator
("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are
using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address
of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an
identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the web
use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the
destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web
servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in
order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
-
Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to
provide Drmachines.com's visitors with a superior customized online
experience. We use the customer contact information to update you with new
services that we may offer, fill orders, contact purchasers to inform them of
their order status, to send promotional information, to enhance the operation
of our site and administer our systems.
Limited demographic data is also collected at our site internally or from our
third party advertising server(if any), providing us with the zip code and area
code associated with a visitor's server, along with pages viewed on our site.
We review the actions of the Drmachines.com visitors on an aggregate basis
to determine customers' preferences. Drmachines.com does research on our
visitors' demographics, interests, and pages viewed based on the information
provided to us during ordering, a promotion, from our server log files, from
contests, drawings or surveys. We will use this data to tailor the visitor's
experience at our site, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to
statistically analyze site use, to improve our product offerings, and to
customize our Site's content, layout, and services. We receive summary, but not
individual, reports from our third party ad server, which tells us how many ads
were presented and clicked upon.
We may
gather information in the following ways:
Troubleshooting
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to gather
broad demographic information, to enable ads to be served on our site, to
report Non-Personally Identifiable Information to our advertisers, and to
monitor the level of activity on our site. We collect information from visitors
to our site regarding the URLs they came from, their IP addresses, domain types
(e.g. .com or .org), the browser type used to come to the site, the country,
state and telephone area code where their servers are located, the pages of our
site that visitors viewed during their visit, and any search terms entered on
our site.
Ordering
When you order a machine from us, we collect personally identifiable
information from you. If you order one of our products or services, we will
collect and maintain your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping
address, telephone number, product selections, credit card or other payment
information, order number, referring URL, IP address 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 the product order form and make changes and additions to the information
it contains and these changes will be automatically kept for future use.
Online
Surveys and Polling
In order to improve our services to you, we ask some of our customers to
voluntarily complete surveys, which may be collected by an independent third
party. Individual survey answers are confidential, although Non-Personally
Identifiable Information is collected and disclosed to third parties. If you do
not wish to participate in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked.
Newsletters
& Promotional E-mails
We may offer free newsletters and promotional e-mails as a service to our
customers. We will send you newsletters and e-mails periodically listing
current specials and deals. To stop receiving our newsletter, send an e-mail to
us at optout@drmachines.com.
Cookies
We use cookies in the operation of our site; to find out what cookies are
and how we use them, click here.
Contact
Information and Third Party Data
If you contact Drmachines.com or our customer service representatives by
telephone, e-mail or letter, we may keep a record of your correspondence or
comments. If you report a problem with our site, we may collect such
information in a file specific to you. If you contact us through our feedback
area or by calling one of our customer service representatives, we may ask for
your name and e-mail address in order to send you a reply. If other users or
third parties send us correspondence about your activities or purchases on our
site, we may keep the information in a file specific to you. We may use a third
party to help us provide customer service. In order to help you most
effectively, we provide them with your order information.
Advertising
In order to keep our prices low, we may display advertisements. By knowing a
little about you, will Drmachines.com be able to deliver more relevant
advertisements and content to you in the form of targeted banners and
promotions. For example, advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the
type of audience they want to reach (e.g., buyers of Hitachi
Machines).Drmachines.com takes the advertisement and includes it in a
Drmachines.com e-mail to prior customers meeting that criteria. We may also have
our third-party advertising server display ads linked to certain search terms
that you have entered, or to certain pages that you are viewing. In this
process, advertisers never have access to individual account information; only
Drmachines.comhas access to individual's accounts. Additionally, Drmachines.com
may share aggregated data with advertisers and business partners.
We
also track customers' traffic patterns throughout their online session,
including which pages a customer views while using the site. This information
is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases,
specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers,
software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information.
We
may share aggregated statistics about pages viewed on our site, sales and other
shopping information with third parties.
-
Who is collecting your information?
We may collect using our own systems or use a third party ad server to
serve ads on our site. They may place their own "cookie" on your computer to
help those ads to run. We do not provide them with any of your Personally
Identifiable Information. For more information about the information they
collect, please see the section "Use of Cookies" below.
We
may use a third party image serving company to serve the graphics that visitors
see on our site more quickly. They collect a visitor's IP address and the URLs
of any graphics viewed and the date and time of the visit. However, they do not
collect and we do not provide them with any Personally Identifiable
Information.
We
may use a third party surveyor to run optional surveys for Drmachines.com.
That surveyor collects Non-Personally Identifiable Information for the sole
purpose of providing reports to Drmachines.comabout our shoppers' interests and
opinions.
-
With whom do we share your information?
The information collected by Drmachines.comis used only for the limited
purposes of processing service requests, orders, keeping you informed about
your order status, for statistical purposes, for improving our site and its
performance, and to notify you of products, services or special offers that may
be of interest to you. We will disclose your Personally Identifiable
Information to third parties to charge your credit card, fill your order,
deliver your order, provide customer service and deliver promotional e-mails to
you from Drmachines.com. For example, we must release your credit card
information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment; and release your
address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you
ordered.
We
may request that you supply us with personal information, including your e-mail
address, postal address, work telephone number, for purposes such as
correspondence, requests for information, or submitting a request for a quote
on desired equipment packages or services. If you choose to give us personal
information via the Internet that we or our business partners may need-to
correspond with you, process a request for a quote, or request for a
newsletter, for example-it is our intent to use your information only for those
purposes. We may release account information when we believe that such release
is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to
protect the rights, property, and safety of Drmachines.com, our users, or
others.
Except
as otherwise stated in this Policy, at present Drmachines.comdoes disclose its
customers' Personally Identifiable Information to other merchants with your
permission, we may provide some customer information to companies with products
or services that may be of interest to you. This would be for marketing
purposes only and no credit card information would be given.
Occasionally
Drmachines.commay be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to
provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt
of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation. Drmachines.comfully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the
right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good
faith believe to be unlawful.
-

information that you have provided to us. During the online logon process you
can review, change, or delete the information that you have submitted. You may
change any of your personal information in your account online at any time. We

security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our
customers is of utmost concern to us. Our secure servers protect the
information using advanced firewall technology.

fulfillment may be 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 and to
process and ship your order.

server. All of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized
access by physical security means.
