We collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (i.e., aol.com, if you are connecting from an AOL account, or harvard.edu if you are connecting from Harvard University's domain); the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser -- along with a Web page -- when you access a Web site. Your browser will only return this cookie information to the domain where the cookie originated (in this case, SuppliesChannel.com). No other site can request it. When you return to this site, the cookie is sent back to the Web server, along with your new request. We gather this information to create summary statistics, which are used for web site planning and maintenance and to analyze system performance. This information tells us the number of visitors to the different sections of our site and helps us understand if our site is meeting the needs of our visitors.

How We Keep Information Secure.
Information security is one of our highest priorities, as described in our internal employee Code of Conduct and this policy. We regularly review our security standards and procedures to protect against unauthorized access to personal information.
- Information Transmission (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology). Our online shopping environment is protected by the industry-standard 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. Your personal information is completely encrypted before it gets transmitted to or from our web server.
- Information Storage (Firewall and Anti-Virus Protection). All SuppliesChannel.com computer systems and personal data are protected by the latest firewall and anti-virus technologies.
- Information Access (Personnel). We limited access to personal information about you strictly to those employees and agents who have been authorized to provide products and services to you.
- Information Deletion. We do not keep customer credit card information in our online system for more than 15 days. Your credit card information will be permanently deleted from our online system in 15 days to insure maximum security protection.
Security Disclaimer
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our customers and visitors is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our hosted servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, SuppliesChannel.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. When your credit card information is transmitted to supplieschannel.com, we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption to ensure the security of your information. We also have appropriate security measures in place in our hosting facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at SuppliesChannel.com. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, due to the open nature of the internet, We do not guarantee the absence of theft, hacker activity, electronic or non-electronic tampering, or computer crime, and we hereby disclaim responsibility and liability for stolen information.
