INFORMATION
USE AND DISCLOSURE
GlobalPOPs considers the personal information
contained in our business records to be confidential. The personal information
collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site and to provide the
service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized.
In support of these uses, we may use personal
information to provide you with more effective customer service, to improve the
Site and any related products or services, and to make the Site easier to use
by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by
customizing the Site to your particular preference or interests.
We may use your personal information to provide
you with important information about the product or service that you are using.
Applicable law authorizes GlobalPOPs to disclose
personal information for the following purposes, if the disclosure is:
Necessary to render, or conduct a legitimate business activity related to the
services provided to you; or required by law or legal process.
Applicable law prohibits us from disclosing
personal information for any purposes other than those listed above without
prior written consent or electronic consent.

information as provided for by applicable law in order to perform:
(1) Billing and invoicing;

GlobalPOPs employs other companies and
individuals to perform functions on our behalf such as processing credit card
payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but are not permitted to use it
for other purposes.
As we continue to develop our business, we might
merge, acquire, sell or buy companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy
Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the
unlikely event that GlobalPOPs, or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
We work to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using ____________________ (software), which
encrypts information you input.

credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire
credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order
processing.

can always choose not to provide information.

make every reasonable effort to protect your privacy as described in this

also use or disclose personal information about you without your consent to
protect our customers, employees, or property, in emergency situations, to
enforce our rights in court or elsewhere, or directly with you, and for
violations of our terms of service and policies.
