Collecting Information about You
You can visit many of our web pages without telling us
who you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from
which people visit us and analyze this data for trends
and statistics, but individual users will remain
anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times when we ask you to provide certain
information about yourself, such as your name,
shipping/billing address, telephone number, email
address, credit card information, birth date, gender,
occupation, personal interests, etc. Such times may be
when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a
service, register to receive information, catalogues,
etc. or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or
promotions, etc. Whether or not to provide such
information is completely your own choice. But if you
choose not to provide the information we request, you
may be unable to purchase products, or access certain
services, offers and content on our web site.
At Kreinik, we always want to provide you with the best
possible shopping experience and fulfill your orders
exactly as you ordered in a timely fashion. In order to

relationship with other persons or entities whom we
believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm

These are known as Select Partners. In such cases we
might share and cross-reference information, including
personally identifiable information about you, which
will enable such persons or entities to contact you
regarding products and services that, may be of interest
to you.
To serve you better, we may combine information you give

mail-in offers. We may also combine that information
with publicly available information to enhance and

your personally identifiable information when we have

How we use Email
When you provide us your email address, we may send you
emails necessary to process your order or respond to a
request. We send emails after an order is placed with a

Security

to protect the security of your personal information
that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be

Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best
to protect its security on our systems.
We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and
not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off
your account and close your browser window when you have

sharing a computer with someone else or are using a
computer in a public place such as a library or Internet
café.
