Protecting privacy is
not a new endeavor for FREEPRINTERS.COM, INC.. FREEPRINTERS.COM,
INC. has a long-standing tradition of recognizing and protecting
the privacy of customers who use its services. The company maintains
strict customer information privacy policies.
FREEPRINTERS.COM, INC. recognizes that the growth of online services,
including Internet services, has created additional privacy concerns,
particularly for consumers.
Online privacy
concerns focus primarily on the protection of "customer
identifiable" information which an individual or other customer
reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "customer
identifiable" information is information that, when associated
with an individual identifies that individual, for example, a customer's
name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
Some Internet users may also wish to know who can learn about what
they do on the Internet, even when that online behavior is not directly
linked to any information that identifies an individual. For example,
advertisers may observe whether visitors to a Web site see or respond
to online advertising without knowing who those visitors are.
It is common practice and often a necessity for companies, governments,
or other organizations to collect customer identifiable information
in order to conduct business and offer services. For example, a telecommunications
provider may collect customer identifiable information, such as name,
address, telephone number, and a variety of other information in
the course of billing and providing telephone service to a customer.
Some activities on the Internet follow very familiar patterns. Consumers
signing up for an Internet access service, for example, are usually
asked to provide name, address, telephone number and credit card
and other information that is typical when the consumer orders a
product or service. Similarly, business Web sites may ask visitors
to supply information about themselves, particularly when information,
services or merchandise are requested, but often simply to be able
to better target the company's services to the customer's interests
and requirements.
