Privacy Policy:
What Personal Information About Customers Does Geographicmarkers.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve
your shopping experience at Geographicmarkers.com. Here are the types of information
we gather.
- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web
site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information,
but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use
the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests,
customizing future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with
you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever
you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we may use "cookies," and
we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Geographicmarkers.com
or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of Geographicmarkers.com
on other Web sites.
- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often
receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Geographicmarkers.com if your computer
supports such capabilities.
- Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other
sources and add it to our account information.
What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide
features such as purchasing, personalized advertisements on other Web sites and storage
of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
- The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your
browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive
a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable
or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing
the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because
cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Geographicmarkers.com's essential
features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block
or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping
Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any Geographicmarkers.com products and services
that require you to Sign in.
Does Geographicmarkers.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our
customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of
selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with
subsidiaries Geographicmarkers.com, Inc. controls that either are subject to this
Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this

functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages,
sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links

customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises
made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents
otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Geographicmarkers.com, Inc., or substantially
all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.

risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing,
or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.With Your
Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about
you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to
share the information.
