Information
Collection and Use
UTA
- USA LLC. is the sole
owner of the information collected on this site. We will not
sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement. UTA
- USA LLC. collects
information from our users at several different points on
our website.
Registration
In order to use this website to its full capabilities, a user
must first complete the registration form. During registration,
a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which they have
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender),
and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but
encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience
on our site.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here
a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, this contact information is used to get in touch
with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is
in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in
some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be
able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or
monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance
the experience on our site.
Some
of our business partners use cookies on our site. However,
we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log
Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
We
use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We
partner with another party to provide specific services. When
the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services.
These
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we [UTA
- USA LLC.] are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site
and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this
Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address.
Surveys
& Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing
a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name
and email address. UTA - USA LLC. will automatically send
the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.
UTA - USA LLC. stores this information for the sole purpose
of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact UTA
- USA LLC. at admin@uta-usa.com to request the removal of
this information from their database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When
our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the
servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If
you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to admin@uta-usa.com.
Supplementation
of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation
to our customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the
information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
In
order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the
site to an individual's preference, we combine information
about the purchasing habits of users with similar information
from our partners to create a personalized user profile. When
a user makes a purchase from these companies, the companies
collect and share that purchase information with us so we
can tailor the site to our users' preferences.
Special
Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password
and username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the
option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
Site
and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates.
Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and
in regards to issues relating to their account via email or
phone.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service,
we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove
that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually
be done at the member information page or by emailing our
Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having
their information used for purposes not directly related to
our site at the point where we ask for the information. For
example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users
who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material,
can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users
who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these
communications by replying with 'UNSUBSCRIBE' in the subject
line in the email or email us at admin@uta-usa.com.
Users
of our site are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether they should
proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
