Our Commitment to Privacy

Visual Icon, Inc. (“Visual Icon”) respects your right to privacy and utilizes the following practices (“Privacy Policy”) in regards to any information we are provided about users of the Visual Icon Website located at www.visual-icon.com (the “Website”). Please review this Privacy Policy prior to using the Visual Icon Website since it may be changed periodically without notice to you. In addition, our online terms of use (”Terms of Use“) describe the obligations and restrictions you agree to in exchange for being allowed to use our Website. Together, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use form a legally binding contract between you and us.

In order to fulfill licensing transactions or provide service to you as a customer of Visual Icon, we may require you to provide certain information to us. Common items may include, but are not limited to, your name, address, email address, and phone number.

By providing this information to Visual Icon, you are agreeing to allow us to utilize this information to complete all transactions you request through the Website and to disclose that information and details of all such transactions to Visual Icon’s various worldwide offices, subsidiaries, affiliates and any necessary payment processors. Because of the nature of the Internet, such data may pass through any country.

Visual Icon may share your personal information with third party service providers who perform services on behalf of Visual Icon. For example, payment processing vendors, fulfillment and shipment vendors and direct marketing vendors. Those service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the designated service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose outside the scope of their services.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Visual Icon does not disclose or release your personal information to third parties; provided that, to the extent permitted by law, Visual Icon may use or disclose personal information: (a) for compliance purposes, such as immigration and customs control, security, and legal support; (b) in connection with legal requests from (i) government authorities or (ii) third parties pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; (c) to perform payment verifications, debt reporting or collection, or to otherwise protect the rights or property of Visual Icon, its employees, customers, or end users; or (d) if we sell or otherwise transfer substantially all of our assets related to any website that we own or operate and any product or service that we offer, in which event, we will require such third party to honor our current Privacy Policy, until the third party provides you with notice of changes to the Privacy Policy and permits you to exercise any rights you may have under applicable law to limit disclosures of information about you.

From time to time we may notify you of special promotions, new products or services, or other information that may interest you. We may do so using either the email or the mailing addresses you provided on the registration or billing information screens or to a Visual Icon representative. Should you not wish to receive this type of information, you shall have the ability to opt out of such communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe option available in each email communication. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Visual Icon does not sell or share e-mail addresses with third parties for their promotional or commercial purposes. We may use your e-mail address to contact you with respect to an order or inquiry you make on the Website. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our Website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

Automatically Collected Information and Use

When you access and use the Visual Icon Website, we automatically collect some information, through certain web technologies such as “cookies,” regarding your computer usage and store it in log files. This information includes the internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.

We use this unidentifiable information to analyze trends, to administer the Website, to track users’ movements around the Website and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Visual Icon also utilizes third party vendors, including Google, to show Visual Icon advertisements on the Internet.

Additionally, we do collect personally identifiable information such as IP addresses for analytical purposes.

Security Features

Visual Icon considers protection of your personal information a high priority, and therefore, Visual Icon uses SSL encryption technologies to insure privacy when transmitting sensitive information to our servers. Unfortunately, there is no perfect security on the Internet, and Visual Icon does not guarantee that our Website is impenetrable or invulnerable to hackers or other security breaches. Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of user information. Upon request we offer visitors the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in contact information and communications that the user/visitor has directed to our Website. Users can have this information corrected by sending us an email at sales@Visual Icon.com.
