TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

Personal Information: This policy covers the following personal information that AgoraCart collects through your use of the AgoraCart Web sites and in connection with off-line communications. Specifically, AgoraCart may collect this information from offline and online registrations and forms, communications and interactions, and sales inquiries and transactions. AgoraCart also may use third party sources, such as opt-in lists, as specified in Section 4 below.

  • Contact information, such as name, physical address, telephone number(s), email address, and company. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information and when this information is collected in forms on our web site, it is collected and/or transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
  • Transactional information, including information about the products and services you purchase or download or about which you make an inquiry.
  • User preferences, such as product requirements, areas of industry interest, newsletters, community choices and other information you select in the customer profile when registering on AgoraCart.com or indicated by your use of the AgoraCart Web sites.
  • Financial/credit card and payment information, but only if using the marketplace. However credit card information (card number, expiration date, and card verification number ) is not collected nor stored by AgoraCart; that information is handled by 3rd party PCI-DSS compliant payment processing gateways.
  • Event and conference participation information, such as lectures, classes or booths attended or visited during an event or conference hosted or attended by AgoraCart. If we use electronic tracking technologies at an event, we will provide notice in the event registration materials and/or correspondence.

We may supplement information you provide with information received from third parties.

Electronic Communications Protocols and Cookies: In addition to the information specified above, AgoraCart may collect information about your use of the AgoraCart.com Web sites through electronic communications protocols and cookies. As is true when you visit most Web sites, AgoraCart may automatically receive information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), your IP address, and date and time. AgoraCart also uses cookies, embedded URLs and embedded pixels to capture additional information.

Cookies: AgoraCart's server will query your browser to see if there are "cookies" previously set by the AgoraCart Web sites. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store on a Web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies on the Web sites may collect a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information and membership information. AgoraCart also uses cookies to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include personally identifiable information. Some cookies may remain on the user's computer after they leave the Web site, and the majority are set to expire within 90 days. While we do not offer an opt-out for cookies, browsers provide you information and control over cookies. You can set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, and accept or reject the cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users can generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion.

Embedded URLs: AgoraCart also uses a tracking technique that employs embedded URLs to allow use of the site without cookies. Embedded URLs allow limited information to follow you as you navigate the site, but is not associated with personal information and is not used beyond the session.

Embedded Pixels: On the Web site, AgoraCart may use embedded pixel technologies on selected pages for the purposes of identifying unique user visits to the AgoraCart.com Web sites as opposed to aggregate hits. In addition, embedded pixels or other technologies may be used in emails to provide information on when the email was opened to track marketing campaign responsiveness; information collected using these technologies may be associated with the recipient's email address.

Third Party Cookies: AgoraCart has engaged one or more third party service providers to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information from visitors to the Web site. The service provider(s) set cookies on behalf of AgoraCart. AgoraCart also uses other third party cookies to track the performance of AgoraCart advertisements on their Web sites.

AgoraCart may re-associate the information provided by the technologies directly above with personal information.

Widgets: Our Web site includes Widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from another company (e.g., links to bookmarked sites). Personal information, such as your email address, may be collected through the Widget. Cookies may also be set by the Widget to enable it to function properly. Information collected by this Widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it.
