1. Our Commitment To Privacy
J. A. Webb Computer Services (JAWCS) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy to our customers and users of this website. This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which JAWCS uses, maintains and discloses information collected from its customers and users of its website.
JAWCS is committed to developing long-lasting relationships based on trust. In furtherance of this goal, JAWCS will do everything in its power to ensure that your right to privacy is maintained and protected.
Our site is protected with up to 256-bit encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to increase the security of our customer’s information. The actual encryption strength is determined by your browser. For example, a Firefox browser enables 256-bit AES encryption.
2. Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
JAWCS will not knowingly:
- Collect online contact information from a user under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent, which includes an opportunity for the parent to prevent use of the information and participation in the activity. When we do not obtain prior verifiable parental consent, online contact information will be used only to directly respond to the child’s request and will not be used to contact the child for other purposes.
- Collect personally identifiable offline contact information from users under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
- Distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information collected from children known to be under 13.
- Give the ability to children to participate in forums or chat rooms without prior verifiable parental consent.
- Entice a child under 13 by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in such activity.

3. The Information We Collect
JAWCS may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where users are invited to volunteer such information.
You can register with our website if you would like to receive our catalog as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the registration form.
The data we may collect is information that identifies you personally, such as:
- Your name
- Age
- Sex
- Job title
- E-mail address
- Postal address
- Telephone and fax numbers
- URL
- Other billing information
On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient’s address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information we may collect are the recipient’s:
- Name
- Age
- Sex
- Job title
- E-mail address
- Postal address
- Telephone and fax numbers
- URL
We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
4. What are cookies?
JAWCS may also collect information about how users access the website using a tracking ID unique to each user through the use of cookies.
A “cookie” is a small text file that a Web site can place on your computer’s hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about your activities on the site or to make it possible for you to use an online “shopping cart” to keep track of items you wish to purchase. The cookie transmits this information back to the Web site’s computer which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Cookies used on the JAWCS website do contain personally identifiable information necessary for the shopping cart to function. Many consumers do not know that “cookies” are being placed on their computers when they visit Web sites. If you want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a Web site attempts to place a “cookie” on your computer. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your computer’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser’s help file contains information and instructions for removing persistent cookies.
5. Log Files
Like most standard websites, we use log files. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the information stored in our log files, including but not limited to IP addresses, is linked to personally identifiable information.
6. How We Use This Information
JAWCS may use the personally identifiable information collected by JAWCS to contact customers regarding products and services offered by JAWCS and, to the extent the user has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. We may also use this information for research purposes regarding the effectiveness of our website services, marketing, advertising and sales efforts. JAWCS will not in any way share this information with a third party either for free or by selling it, unless you specifically authorize such disclosures.
We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
If you wish to either opt-in or opt-out of the use of your information you may do so on the My Account page.
7. Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Access to member personal information is limited to key management personnel and our member services department. The information is ID and password protected and our Web security is reviewed on a regular basis. We also utilize 256 bit encryption SSL when sending and receiving your personal data.
8. Disclosure Of Information
JAWCS may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, only statistical information will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept strictly confidential. In case JAWCS is sold, the information collected from users may be transferred to the new owners.
JAWCS may from time to time engage third parties, including its own subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to preserve, analyze or otherwise store or manipulate data received by JAWCS from its customers. In all such cases, third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care as JAWCS and they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.
9. Special Offers And Updates
Our customers and users will occasionally receive newsletters or e-mails with information on products, services, or special offers. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, JAWCS gives them the opportunity to opt-out from receiving these types of communications.
If you wish to either opt-in or opt-out of the use of your information you may do so on the My Account page.
10. Service Announcements
On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement, if, for instance, our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
11. How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
After registering with JAWCS you may correct/update your personal information, after login, by clicking on the My Account link at the top of any page, and clicking one of the links to edit the information you wish to correct/update. The changes you make will be reflected in our databases instantly. If you wish to deactivate your account, you may contact us through the Contact Us page.
We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
12. Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary and required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, subpoena or other legal process served on JAWCS.
The JAWCS website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that JAWCS is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. The JAWCS Privacy Policy as described herein applies solely to information collected by JAWCS.
13. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for the security of your Customer ID and passwords. Make sure you keep them in a safe place and do not share them with others. Always remember to log out after your session ends to ensure that others cannot access your private personal information. You should take this precaution even if you are not using a public computer, such as at a library or Internet café, but even when using your private computer in your home.
