INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Information Collection. We collect information from you in several different ways on
this Site. One goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide an
efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For example, we can use your personal
information to:
- help make this Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information
more than once.
- help you quickly find information, products, and services.
- help us create content on this Site that is most relevant to you.
- alert you to new information, products, and services that we offer.
(a) Ordering. When ordering products, you you will be prompted to provide to us certain
personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing
address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card number or Paypal ID. In
addition, we may also ask you for your country of residence and/or your organization's
country of operation, so we can comply with applicable laws and regulations, and for
your gender. These kinds of personal information are used for billing purposes, to
fulfill your orders, to communicate with you about your order and our site, and for
internal marketing purposes. If we encounter a problem when processing your order, we
use the personal information to contact you.
(b) Email Addresses. Several locations of the Site permit you to enter your email
address for purposes including but not limited to: to register for a free watch giveaway;
to request us to notify you when we have a new product style; or to sign up for our email
newsletter and special offers. Your participation in a contest is completely voluntary,
so you have a choice whether to participate and disclose information to us. We use this
information to notify contest winners and to award prizes. We may post on our Site the
names and cities of contest winners.
(c) Cookies and Other Technology. This Site does not currently employs cookies and web
beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or "action tags").
(d) Log Files. As is true of most web sites, the Site server automatically recognizes
the Internet URL from which you access this Site. We may also log your Internet protocol

order verification, internal marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes. (An IP
address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet.)
(e) Age. We respect children's privacy. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect
personal information from children under age 13. Elsewhere on this Site, you have
represented and warranted that you are either 18 years of age or using the Site with the
supervision of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit
any personal information to us, and rely on a parent or guardian to assist you.
(f) Product Reviews. You may choose to submit a product review. If you post a review, we
will ask for your email address and geographic location. If you submit a review, your
geographic location will be visible to other users (your email address will be kept
private). Also, any personally identifiable information that you submit as part of the

INFORMATION USE AND DISCLOSURE
(a) Internal Use. We use your personal information to process your order and provide you

special offers. If you submit your email address, we use it to deliver the information
to you. We always permit you to unsubscribe or opt out of future emails (see the opt out
section, below, for more details). Because we have to communicate with you about orders
that you choose to place, you cannot opt out of receiving emails related to your orders.
(c) External Use. We want to provide you with excellent service and to offer you a great
selection - we primarily sell merchandise, not information. We do not sell, rent, trade,
license or otherwise disclose your specific personal information or financial information
to anyone, except that:
- As do most catalog and Internet retailers, we sometimes use others to perform specific
functions on our behalf. When we disclose information to these service providers, we
disclose information to help them to perform their service. For example, in order to
deliver products to you, we must share some information. We partner with third parties
(such as the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and Federal Express) to ship
products, to ensure delivery, and so that we can obtain feedback, improve the quality of
our service, and measure and improve the quality of the service of the third party. In
the example of shippers, we provide them some personally identifiable information such
as your name, shipping address, email, and phone number.
- Similarly, to help you buy products and provide customer service to you, we must
provide your credit card number to financial-services corporations such as credit-card
processors and issuers.
- We may be required to disclose such information in response to requests from
law-enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a court order; or if
we are otherwise required to disclose such information by law. We also will release
personal information where disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce
our Terms of Use or other agreements, or to protect ourselves or others. For example,
we may share information to reduce the risk of fraud or if someone uses or attempts
to use our Site for illegal reasons or to commit fraud.
- We will not sell (or trade or rent) personally identifiable information to other
companies as part of our regular course of business. However, it's possible that we
might acquire or merge with or be acquired by another company or that we might dispose
of some or all of our assets. If that happens, your personal information may be disclosed
to another company, but that disclosure will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect.
- We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily visitors to a
particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with third parties
such as advertising partners. This information does not directly personally identify you
or any user.
- We publicly disclose the name, city, and state of the winner of the Free Watch
Giveaway.
OPT OUT/CORRECTIONS
Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b)
stop sending emails to your email address; and/or (c) disable your account to prevent
any future purchases through that account. You can make these requests by emailing your
request to info@technotunes.net. Please do not email your credit-card number!
OFFLINE COLLECTION, USE & DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
As you might expect from TechnOtunes.net, the majority of information that we collect is
obtained through our Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection
of personal information. We also collect information offline, where we also try to protect
the privacy of you personal information. One example involves someone calling us to place
an order or to ask questions. When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal
information we need in order to place the order or to answer the question. As we primarily
sell merchandise, not information, and we will try to treat offline collection, uses, and
disclosures consistently with our relevant online practices.
