2.

Similar

below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to
collect information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server
logs may include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the
Web sites visited just before and just after our

we think you will find valuable. The lists used to
send you product and service offers are developed

What
Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of
Web browser software that allows Web servers to
recognize the computer used to access a Web site.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored
by a userユs Web browser on the userユs
hard drive. Cookies can remember what information
a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent
interactions with that Web site by the same user
or to use the information to streamline the userユs
transactions on related Web pages. This makes it
easier for a user to move from Web page to Web
page and to complete commercial transactions over
the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience
easier and more personalized.
How
Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We
use Web site browser software tools such as cookies
and Web server logs to gather information about our
Web site usersユ browsing activities, in order
to constantly improve our Web site and better serve
our customers. This information assists us to design
and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly
manner and to continually improve our Web site to
better meet the needs of our customers and prospective
customers.
Cookies
help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us
trace the paths followed by users to our Web site
as they move from one page to another. Web server
logs allow us to count how many people visit our
Web site and evaluate our Web siteユs visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to
capture your individual email address or any personally
identifying information about you although they do
permit us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing
Information with Affiliates
From
time to time you may notice offers from outside companies
advertised on our Web site. We take measures to select
product or service providers that are responsible

these offers by clicking on a response box when you
receive such an offer or by sending us an email request
at info@uscontainer.com
How
Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When
you send confidential personal credit card information
to us on our Web site, secure server software that
we have licensed encrypts all information you input
before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled
en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure
unless we advise you that security measures will
be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For
that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers
to us through an unsecured email.
How
Do We Protect Your Information?
Information
Security. We utilize encryption/security software
to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information
we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure
and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation
of Information Protection Practices. Periodically,
our operations and business practices are reviewed
for compliance with corporate policies and procedures
governing the security, confidentiality and quality
of our information.
Employee
Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate
values, ethical standards, policies and practices
are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee
access to confidential information, and limit the
use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How
Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You
may request access to all your personally identifiable
information that we collect online and maintain in
our database by emailing info@uscontainer.com

We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We
may provide aggregate information about our customers,
sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web
site information to our affiliates or reputable third
parties, but this information will not include
personally identifying data, except as otherwise
provided in this Privacy Policy.
What
About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to
do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe
that the law requires it or for the protection of
our legal rights.
What
About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We
are not responsible for the practices employed by
Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the
information or content contained therein. Often links
to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
to information on topics that may be useful to the
