Privacy Policy
GF Educators, Incorporated, the operator of this and related websites, is dedicated to the protection of privacy on the Internet. This Privacy Statement describes the manner in which information is sometimes collected and used by GF Educators, Incorporated, and the means by which website visitors can have certain information deleted from GF Educators, Incorporated records and systems. We greatly respect the privacy of our online website visitors.
What we collect...
We collect information on or through our websites that can personally identify you but this will only occur when such information is voluntarily offered by you. In short, when you visit our websites or interactive advertisements, we will not collect any personal information about you (such as your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, or credit card information) unless you provide it to us voluntarily. If you decide not to provide us with personal information, you can still access our websites but you may be unable to participate in certain things, or receive product information offered through our websites or interactive advertisements.
Our websites sometimes include information about promotions that we are offering, and we may allow you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (for example, to notify you if your sample has shipped) and, when we have your consent, to offer you products of GF Educators, Incorporated. Also, we may collect demographic data for product offerings, market research, and advertising and promotion activities.
If you provide our customer service representatives with feedback on your experiences with our product or submit questions to our representatives, you will be asked to supply personal information for purposes of record keeping and follow-up.
GF Educators, Incorporated may also collect certain aggregate data often referred to as "web log information" (such as data regarding your web browser, operating system, pages visited and so forth) and we may use cookies when you visit many of our website pages. For instance, when you visit one of our websites, our web server will automatically recognize some non-personal information, such as the date and time you visited our website, the pages you visited, the referrer (that is, the website you came from), the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name and address of your Internet service provider. Notably, our cookies do not collect or contain personal information such as your name or e-mail address.
In the situations described above, we may also enhance or combine your personal information with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.
Our web server collects the domain names (but not the e-mail addresses) of visitors to our websites. The information is sometimes aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on visits, pages reviewed, and so forth. GF Educators, Incorporated utilizes this type of information to measure the use of our website and to improve content in the future.
Why we collect personal information...
Our principal goal in collecting personal information from you is to give us an opportunity to interact with you during and after your visit to our website and interactive banner advertisements, and to allow us to develop new products that are responsive to your needs. GF Educators, Incorporated collects personally identifiable information to respond to visitor questions and comments about our products, to send e-mail newsletters, and to contact winners of promotions. Personal information also allows us to provide online services and features that are more likely to meet your expectations, and to customize our services to make your online experience efficient, and pleasurable. GF Educators, Incorporated occasionally sends e-mail messages (describing new products, promotions or news) to visitors who have agreed to receive such mailings. These mailings are optional and you may opt-out of these mailings at any time.
About security and storage...
GF Educators, Incorporated has taken measures to keep all information from our online visitors as secure as possible against any unauthorized access or use. All information is protected by standard security measures, which are periodically reviewed. Your personal information will generally be stored in our databases, which is located in the United States only. Further, your personal information is only stored for a reasonable period of time.
Sharing your information...
We do not sell or transfer personal information to third parties outside of our organization. Occasionally, we may share personal information from you (such as name, mailing address, and e-mail address) with vendors, contractors or agents of GF Educators, Incorporated in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for our company. These vendors, contractors or agents are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for GF Educators, Incorporated, and they may not share or resell this data. The services they provide may include mailing product samples, or conducting promotions for GF Educators, Incorporated. Additionally, we may share your information with vendors that we have hired to send you the offers you requested or about which you have expressed interest. Except in those instances, we do not share, trade, or sell information about you with other marketers without your permission. Notwithstanding the above sharing policy, we want you to understand that we reserve the right to share personal information with duly authorized governmental authorities where required by law or in other related situations where we believe that such sharing is reasonable and appropriate.
